After being sued by Laura's voice actor, "Tomb Raider 4-6" takes action to "clean up" AI dubbing
Advanced news that Aspyr was sued by French version of Laura Crawford voice actor Françoise Cadol for unauthorized use of AI to generate voice in Tomb Raider 4-6 Replica.
Aspyr responded that the relevant AI voice system external cooperation team adopted it without authorization and did not obtain the company's official authorization. The company failed to discover the problem in time during the review process, and promised to remove all AI voices through the update patch. In addition, similar situations have also been accused of existing in Brazil, Spanish and Russian versions of the game, which has aroused criticism from the dubbing industry in many countries.
Recently, Aspyr has released an update patch for the Tomb Raider 4-6 Replica Edition, completely deleting all AI-generated voice content. The development team stated in an official statement: "We solved this problem by deleting all voice content generated by AI, but retained the improvements made in the last update. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this matter. If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team."
Cadol has been serving as French dubbing for Laura for nearly thirty years, and his interpretation has a profound cultural influence among the French player community. In addition to the game, she also served as the official voice of the French version of Laura character played by Angelina Jolie.
