Complaint to Fortnite was submitted by the SAG-AFTRA actress union because his voice Darth Vaderof the Star Wars evil, was created with the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

The trade union said Llama Productions, a subsidiary of Epic who produces the successful video game, chose “to replace the work of interpreters with artificial intelligence technology”.

He claimed that the company did so without informing the union of its intentions or negotiating the terms.

BBC has turned to Epic Games for comments.

The trade union complaint for unfair work practicesfiled with the National Council of Labor Relations of the US (NLRB), claims that the company has made ‘Unilateral changes in terms and conditions of employment, without notifying the union or giving him the opportunity to negotiate, using voices produced by artificial intelligence to replace the work of the negotiation unit“

He said this was equivalent to the employer’s failure to “negotiate in good faith”.

In the game, players can fight the Darth Vader, to recruit the character in their team and interact with him.

‘Plan a strategy with the absolute lord of Sit. With your voice. And will answer you using artificial intelligence“, The company wrote in a statement on Friday.

Reported that the reconstruction of the voice of his evil Star Wars Artificial intelligence would not be possible, not even “so ominous” without the inheritance of James Earl Jones – the late actor who gave his voice to Darth Vader in the Franchise.

In an attached statement by the actor’s family states that “he felt that Darth Vader’s voice was inextricably linked to the story of Star Wars” and “always wanted fans of all ages to continue to experience her“

‘We hope that this collaboration with Fortnite will allow both Darth Vader fans and younger generations to share the enjoyment of this iconic character“, They added.

It said that it welcomes its members and their property exercising their right to control how to use digital copies – but wishes to participate in order to benefit wider bodies.

‘We need to protect our right to negotiate terms and conditions for voice uses that replace the work of our members, including those who have previously done the work of matching the emblematic rhythm and tone of Darth Vader in video games”, Sag-Aftra Syndicate

The complaint comes in a context that actors who lend their voice to video games are worried about reducing their work or fully replacing them with the use of artificial intelligence.

Hollywood actors, such as Scarlett Johanssonthey have also pointed out concerns about how their digital resemblance could be manipulated using artificial intelligence.

SAG-AFTRA, who represents actors from the field of video games, cinema, television and radio, is trying to reach agreements on the rights of voice actors in video games since strikes last year.

Actors associated with the SAG-Aftra Union refuse to work with companies such as Activision, Disney, Warner Bros and EA from July on issues such as the use of genetic artificial intelligence.
