SAN DIEGO: Artificial intelligence was key to last year’s Hollywood strikes, and it has now sparked a second walkout by those actors who work in a far larger industry, at the heart of advancing technology – video games.
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) on July 26 began its second strike in nine months, this time against gaming giants that dominate an industry which grosses well over US$100 billion each year.
