Deepfake technology, which can be used to synthesize actor's visual appearance and voices, was a core issue in the recent SAG-AFTRA film and television strike, sparking debate in Hollywood and elsewhere about issues such as compensation and creative control versus the ability to use AI to improve efficiency and enhance creativity. These issues are equally relevant for game companies seeking to enhance their games. Deepfake technology brings potentially game changing benefits to creative endeavors of all kinds, including gaming, such as enhanced freedom of expression and creativity, improved quality, accessibility, reduced costs, and reduced barriers to entry. But concerns have been raised about potential harmful impacts, such as disinformation, revenge porn, and misuse of intellectual property, as well as concerns about its impacts on creative professionals, and state and federal legislators are scrambling to try to address these issues through new regulations.
Takeaway
This panel will discuss these competing concerns in relation to the game industry and how existing and proposed regulations and initiatives may impact the game industry.
Intended Audience
Video game publishers, video game designers, executives, legal professionals
