Voice actors in Spain—including delegations in Catalunya and the Balearic Islands—and in France are protesting the unauthorized use of AI to clone their voices, striking and demanding contractual clauses barring their recordings from training generative models. Industry groups like AADPC, PASAVE, CADIB and artists such as Bruno Méyère warn AI could erase their livelihoods.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions generative AI systems cloning voices of dubbing actors without their consent, which is a direct use of AI technology. This unauthorized use leads to harm by violating actors' rights and reducing their employment opportunities, fulfilling the criteria for an AI Incident under violations of human rights and labor rights. The harm is realized, not just potential, as actors report reduced work and ethical concerns. Hence, this is an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
