WorkThe world's future wheat will need to withstand the climate crisis  The process of selecting seeds from around the world happens at CIMMYT, an international research organization focused on developing new corn and wheat varieties. There are around 800,000 unique wheat seeds stored in gene banks globally, with a quarter of them stored at CIMMYT. The center tests around 5,000 newly bred types of wheat each year with farmers.

Only about 18% of those in the trade are SAG-AFTRA members, according to data from a 2022 survey conducted by the National Association of Voice Actors. More than 64% in the survey said that they were non-union. Given the industry’s relatively less organized nature, it will only get easier and easier for AI to take over tasks that once only humans could do. Uniting their voices might be what it takes to ensure that voice actors can keep their rights to using them.
