Ban the use of AI to generate media (eg. images, videos, voice recordings, etc)

Closed 85 signatures

What the petition asks

AI software can generate images very similar to how a human would draw an image themselves, and generate voice recordings that sound like natural human speech. I wish for the use of such technology to be banned.
I wish for the Government to outlaw the use of AI-generated technology, as I am concerned that artists, musicians or voice actors face the possibility of being completely replaced by an AI.

The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has agreed a deal was made allowing the use of AI-generated voices to be used in the video game medium, before, during or after final development. We are concerned this will mean that voice actors could fail to get a role due to AI.
