Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West actor Ashly Burch, who plays main character Aloy across Guerrilla Games’ sci-fi franchise, is speaking up in the wake of a leaked video showing an AI-powered Aloy.
As reported by The Verge, the since-removed video showed an internal tech demo in which Sony Interactive Entertainment’s director of software engineering Sharwin Raghoebardajal held a conversation with an AI-powered Aloy. Raghoebardajal said in the video the AI Aloy was a prototype designed alongside Guerrilla Games to demonstrate what could be possible with the technology.

Burch took to TikTok over the weekend to say she had seen the leaked video and that Guerrilla Games had reached out to let her know that the AI tech demo did not use any of Burch’s performance data (voice and motion capture) and was not a project that was in active development. But that didn’t change the fact that Burch said the video made her worried, not about Guerrilla, Aloy, or her career specifically, but about game performance as a whole.
