“Dwe both artistic intelligence “. This is the title, decidedly evocative, appeal launched byNational Association of voice actors (ANAD). The goal? Try to protect your work e Turn on the spotlight on the risks related to artificial intelligence and the use of Machine Learnign mechanisms in the field of dubbing. The initiative turns not only to institutions and the audiovisual industry, but also to the public.
The video of denunciation of the Italian voice actors
To sensitize public opinion on this issue, ANAD has precisely made a video that sees the participation of twelve famous Italian voice actors. Between them they appear Rossa Caputo, Laura Boccanera, Melina Martello, Veronica Puccio, Laura Romano, Chiara Fabiano, Luca Ward, Gabriele Patriarca, Riccardo Suarez, Flavio Aquilone, Daniele Giuliani and Rodolfo Bianchi. With their voices, these artists launch a clear and decisive message: Saying “no” to a future in which human creativity is replaced by algorithms. «Soon you could go to see a movie with all voices generated by a robot, a pity that this robot will have generated them thanks to ours, without our consent», The protagonists of the campaign point out in turn.
The risks of AI applied to the most creative areas
The progress of technology allows the IAs of replicate, in addition to the faces, also human voices with surprising precision. If this tool did not adequately regulate, the profession of voice actors would be in danger. In short, they would risk being completely replaced. Dubbing, however, is not just a technical question: it is also an art, a fundamental part of Italian audiovisual culture. The protest campaign of the anacas of the Anad recalls another original position of the art world. A few days ago, in fact, it was published Is this What We Want?, The silent album created by some British stars to counter a bill that would allow artificial intelligence companies to use copyright protected works for train their algorithms.
