It was a pleasure to offer my thoughts to @gpm-official.bsky.social about the importance of strike solidarity!

Thanks for having me on, and to whoever actually edited Matt Mercer into the clip because of my flippant little gag - I fucking love you.
Strike solidarity from UK voice actor & @equityuk.bsky.social member @kitharrison.com thanks for making our Monday, Kit! 🎙️💪🇬🇧

A reminder that we’re all in this fight for airtight AI protections together; not just in the US, but globally ♥️
Though the fight may be long, it is absolutely worthwhile!

Many times, U.S. workers are passing on these opportunities because they are likely unsafe and contain no AI protections or convenient loopholes.

Proceed with caution! ⚠️

Though this specific event happened via work done years prior, GPM advises our international friends to please read your current contracts thoroughly, especially when receiving opportunities U.S. workers are currently passing on (whether related to our videogame strike or not).

All performers worldwide have the right to transparency, consent, and compensation. There is an urgent need for Al protections and Al copyright laws to protect performers' likeness, image, and voice as well as protect them from the creation of digital replicas without their consent.

BBC reports that voice actor Gayanne Potter has had her voice cloned by Al without her consent, and the model is being used as the new announcer voice of ScotRail. She is currently battling for it to be taken down.

Today, this bill was passed up from the House into the Senate for voting with the 10-year AI regulation ban fully intact.

Please consider calling your Senate representative today and asking them to vote no on this provision and bill.

Resources for contacting your reps in quoted thread!
Tomorrow (tonight?) at 1am EST, the House of Representatives Rules committee will vote to approve the text of a federal budget bill, part of which would ban states from regulating AI at all for 10 YEARS.

Here’s how the SAG-AFTRA video game strike ties in and what you can do to help:
