SAG-AFTRA宣布，已与49家公司签署了120多份视频游戏合同，作为与游戏行业的持续谈判的一部分。
These agreements are set to offer key protections for actors, particularly concerning the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in game development, GamesIndustry.biz reported.
这些协议旨在为演员提供关键保护，尤其关注人工智能在游戏开发中的使用，GamesIndustry.biz报道。
AI Protections Lead The Discussion
人工智能保护引领讨论
At the center of the union's efforts is the push for "proper consent, compensation, and transparency around the use of AI" in gaming. SAG-AFTRA has long argued that AI technologies, while helpful in certain production processes, must not compromise actors' rights or replace them without fair compensation.
工会的努力的重点是推动在游戏中的人工智能使用方面确保 "得到适当的同意、补偿和透明度"。SAG-AFTRA长期以来一直主张，在某些制作过程中有用的人工智能技术不应损害演员的权利，也不能在没有合理补偿的情况下取代他们。
With 49 companies already agreeing to the terms, the union has noted that these new contracts contain "common-sense, foundational AI protections" that align with the Interactive Media Agreement. This shows, according to the union, that these provisions are not only achievable but also beneficial for both companies and actors.
工会指出，已有49家公司同意这些条款，这些新合同中包含与互动媒体协议一致的 "具有常识性和基础性的人工智能保护"。工会表示，这些条款不仅是可以实现的，而且对于公司和演员都是有益的。
Sarah Elmaleh, chair of the Interactive Media Agreement Negotiating Committee, said: "Humane protections for actors against AI exploitation are not an unreasonable ask—and the success of these contracts shows that most companies agree."
互动媒体协议谈判委员会主席Sarah Elmaleh表示: "对抗人工智能剥削的人道主义保护并非一个不合理的要求，而这些合同的成功显示大多数公司都同意这一点。"
Talks With Major Game Developers Set To Resume
与主要游戏开发商进行的谈判即将恢复
SAG-AFTRA is expected to meet with representatives from major companies, including Microsoft Corp.'s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Activision, Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:EA), and Warner Bros Discover Inc's (NASDAQ:WBD) WB Games, and Take-Two Interactive Software Inc (NASDAQ:TTWO) to continue discussions about AI usage in future contracts. While these industry leaders have not yet signed interim agreements, they are critical to the union's goal of securing broader protections for actors in the gaming world.
预计SAG-AFTRA将与微软公司（纳斯达克股票代码：MSFT）的动视暴雪、艺电（纳斯达克股票代码：EA）以及华纳兄弟发现公司（纳斯达克股票代码：WBD）的Wb Games，以及take-two互动软件公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TTWO）的代表会面，继续讨论未来合同中人工智能的使用。尽管这些行业领袖目前尚未签署临时协议，但对于工会在游戏世界中为演员争取更广泛保护的目标至关重要。
Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA's national executive director and chief negotiator, said: "As we return to negotiations, I hope we are able to reach an agreement on our Interactive Media Agreement, but if not, we will keep on working with the companies that are prepared to agree to fair, ethical, and responsible contract terms, including for the use of artificial intelligence."
SAG-AFTRA的全国执行董事和首席谈判代表Duncan Crabtree-Ireland表示：“在我们回到谈判桌时，我希望我们能就我们的互动媒体协议达成一致意见，但如果达不成，我们将继续与愿意同意公平、道德和负责任合同条款，包括人工智能使用方面的公司合作。”
Moreover, the union is receiving international support, with the International Federation of Actors (FIA) stating it will offer "all legally permissible support for as long as necessary."
此外，该工会正获得国际支持，国际演员联合会（FIA）表示将提供“在必要的时间内提供所有法律允许的支持。”
