Baldur's Gate 3 voice actors, including Amelia Tyler, report unauthorized use of AI voice cloning to replicate their voices, sometimes for disturbing content. This misuse has caused emotional distress and violated their rights, with actors describing it as theft of both their jobs and identities.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves AI systems explicitly used for voice cloning, which have directly led to harms including violation of intellectual property and labor rights, emotional harm, and potential job loss for voice actors. The unauthorized replication of actors' voices without consent is a breach of rights and identity theft, fitting the definition of an AI Incident. The article describes actual harms occurring, not just potential risks, and thus it is classified as an AI Incident.[AI generated]
