In Germany, a campaign by 12 well-known voice actors from the VDS association went viral on TikTok, calling for lawmakers to obtain explicit consent when training AI on artists' voices and fairly compensate them. The petition gained over 75,500 signatures, with VDS member Cedric Cavatore stating that if intellectual property is no longer protected, creators will stop producing content due to concerns of theft. In the US, SAG-AFTRA has signed a new contract with video game studios focused on AI, representing progress in protections against the tech. Meanwhile, some studios like Neue Tonfilm Muenchen are cautiously exploring AI and human dubbing coexistence, with managing director Eberhard Weckerle warning that cheaply produced AI-generated content could lead to poorer quality.
