Fortnite used conversational AI to replicate James Earl Jones' voice as Star Wars' Darth Vader, which has sparked a complaint from SAG-AFTRA.

SAG-AFTRA says 'Fortnite' used an AI-powered version of Darth Vader's voice in its game without negotiating the terms with the guild.

The union has now filed an unfair labor practice charge (link to the PDF is on the SAG-AFTRA website) that calls out “ Fortnite ‘s signatory company, Llama Productions” for “ [replacing] the work of human performers with AI technology” without “providing any notice of their intent to do this and without bargaining with us over appropriate terms.”
