Apex Legends French Voice Talents Quit After Contract Forcing AI Training
Apex Legends French voice talents quit after being forced to train AI under a new contract addendum, sparking controversy in the industry.
AI is reshaping industries across the board, from automating customer service to revolutionizing entertainment. While AI can enhance efficiency, it’s also raising serious concerns especially in creative fields like gaming.
Lately, there’s been increasing pushback from professionals who see AI as a potential threat to their craft and jobs. The latest controversy? Over 30 French voice actors from Apex Legends have resigned in protest against a new contract forcing them to train AI models, marking a bold stand for job security, artistic integrity, and fair treatment.

The issue came to light through an Instagram post from Pascale Chemin, the French voice of Wraith in Apex Legends. In her post, she revealed that the game’s latest contract asks voice talents to agree to train generative AI. To which, she declined.

The refusal to accept the contract addendum as is by the French Apex Legends cast highlights a bigger issue brewing in the entertainment industry. AI technology is evolving fast, and companies are eager to use it. But where does that leave the artists?
AI-generated voices are already creeping into the industry, and actors fear that if they agree to these terms, their roles could be permanently replaced. For many, this fight isn’t just about Apex Legends, it’s about protecting the future of voice acting itself.
So far, neither Respawn Entertainment nor EA have issued an official statement on the matter. Will they acknowledge the actors’ concerns and reconsider their approach? Or will this mark the beginning of an AI-driven shift in the gaming industry?
