Why Artists Need Unions More Than Ever in the Age of AI and Industry Exploitation

In this discussion, we delve into the increasing importance of unions for voiceover artists, actors, musicians, and writers, especially amidst the ongoing disruption and exploitation of the arts industry. As technology accelerates and corporate interests push for faster, cheaper content production, creative professionals face a "creativity crunch"—a pressure to deliver more with fewer resources and less protection. We explore how unions serve as a critical safeguard, ensuring fair pay, job security, intellectual property rights, and protections against the misuse of AI and automation, which threaten to devalue human artistry.
