Summary
Ashly Burch, the voice actor for Horizon’s Aloy, has shared her thoughts on an AI-powered version of her character that was recently leaked in a video.
Guerilla contacted Burch to confirm the demo didn’t use any of her actual vocal or facial performances, and that the studio wasn’t actively developing the AI version of the character.
Burch states she is more concerned about the potential replacement of actors with AI in the future, fearing the lack of protection and recourse for performers in this scenario.
The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) is currently on strike, with one of their primary concerns being the use of AI in the place of actors.
Burch echoes these thoughts, emphasising the importance of consent, compensation, and clarity in relation to AI versions of real performances.
