After warning players of the dangers of AI, the voice actor Ben Cockle joins his colleagues Ben Starr and Samantha Béart to express the strong concerns of industry insiders regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence in the video game entertainment industry.
At the microphones of NME, the interpreter of Geralt in Riviathe voice actress of the warrior Karlach of Baldur's Gate 3 and the voice of Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy 16 they express all their apprehension in discussing the future of video games and the impact of AI in development.
Referring precisely to generative AI and their use in the gaming industry, Cockle explains for example that “it's a bit like watching a tidal wave that is about to hit you, you know it will happen and you can't do anything about it. I despise those who use this genre of tools for steal the work done by other people“.
Along the lines of the statements of Geralt's voice actor in The Witcher games we then find the words spoken by Beart: “I'm worried about theimpact of AI on art forms such as video games. Automation has already replaced so many things and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see it gain new ground in the future. If people don't start caring about AI, or if AI is allowed to creep into the work of creatives, then we're all in trouble.”
Starr also participates in the discussion: the voice actor of the protagonist of FF16 explains that “the unknown is always terrifying and, in the wrong hands, AI has the ability to eliminate many jobs. But we need to understand how to work alongside her, instead of looking at her as a tool that completely takes over the creativity of designers, artists and voice actors. The fact is that if it is used for example in the dubbing field simply to reduce development costs, there is the risk of not offering opportunities to emerging voice actors because it is thanks to their commitment to minor roles that they manage to 'cut their teeth' ' and build a career.”
