Approximately one year after the commencement of labor disputes by SAG-AFTRA regarding artificial intelligence applications in voice acting for interactive media, indications suggest these conflicts are nearing resolution.

A preliminary consensus has reportedly been achieved between the performers’ union and several major industry stakeholders, according to official communications. Notable publishers involved in the negotiations include Electronic Arts, Warner Bros. Interactive, and other prominent development studios.

Union representatives clarified that industrial action will remain active until formal documentation receives final approval. “This interim resolution establishes critical safeguards around emerging technologies while securing additional protections for creative professionals,” stated chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.

The proposed terms currently undergo ratification processes, marking significant progress toward resolving the prolonged dispute. Union leadership emphasized the importance of continued vigilance, with president Fran Drescher remarking: “This achievement reflects our members’ unwavering resolve. We’ll maintain pressure for further improvements in subsequent negotiations.”
