Doug Cockle, the actor who voiced Geralt in The Witcher 3, has said he wishes he could sue AI platforms for allegedly using or replicating his voice without permission. His comments highlight growing concerns among performers that generative AI may imitate distinctive voices while offering limited control, consent or compensation.

Cockle’s remarks centre on the use of voice-cloning technology and its potential impact on actors’ livelihoods and ownership of their performances. The dispute reflects a wider debate across games and entertainment over safeguards for performers as AI-generated audio becomes more accessible.
