Nickelodeon has agreed to “commonsense” AI protections for voice actors on animated shows like The Patrick Star Show and Dora the Explorer, according to performers’ union SAG-AFTRA.

The union announced on Wednesday that it had reached a tentative deal with Nickelodeon over voice acting on animated programs for basic cable and Paramount+. With covered projects including Rugrats, The Loud House, Kamp Koral and Rock Paper Scissors, the three-year provisional contract also brings some rate increases, a new premium and faster payment due dates.

The new deal, which has yet to be approved by the union’s national board, includes “commonsense” AI protections, according to a chief negotiator.

The Hollywood Reporter was on-site Tuesday morning when Netflix broke ground on its new East Coast home, Netflix Studios Fort Monmouth in central New Jersey. (Yes, there is a central New Jersey.) The gigantic renovation project — in which Netflix will turn a long-abandoned U.S. Army base into a dozen soundstages, a backlot, state-of-the-art postproduction facilities, general office space and basically 500,000 square feet of all things Netflix — was brought to you by one thing: tax credits.

A report from the groundbreaking at Netflix Studios Fort Monmouth.

Dubbing, as an art form, is at its best when it calls as little attention to itself as possible.

Ironic, then, that it is the dubbers — or synchronization artists, as they prefer to be known — whose voices have become the loudest in Europe’s battle over the use of artificial intelligence technology in film and television production.

In the famous Netflix show Baby Reindeer, the stalker has been sending deranged messages to the protagonist. They are a kind of stream of consciousness, full of typos and chaotic punctuation. How would you render them in your target language to reflect these traits, but still make them understandable? And would you try to time or segment the subs somehow to mimic how the words appear on screen (like they are being typed in real time)? Let us know in the comments!

And then you can also check how the author of subtitles in your language dealt with this on Netflix 🙂
