Tom Hanks: AI Can Keep My Performances Alive Even After I’m Gone.

Tom Hanks Believes His Performances Can Live On Through AI

Tom Hanks recently appeared on “The Adam Buxton Podcast” and discussed the use of Artificial Intelligence in Hollywood. The 66-year-old actor believes that his work could continue even after he passes away. He stated that “performances can go on and on and on” thanks to the technology available today.

AI Hanks vs. Real Hanks

During the podcast, Hanks and the host debated whether people would care if a film featured AI Hanks or the real thing. Hanks believes that it is a “bona fide possibility” to pitch a series of seven movies that would star him in them, in which he would be 32 years old from now until kingdom come.

The Legal and Artistic Challenges of AI

Hanks acknowledges that AI and deepfake technology pose both legal and artistic challenges. He believes that people will be able to tell the difference between AI and real performances, but the question is, will they care?

Other Celebrities Weigh In

Harrison Ford and Keanu Reeves have also spoken out about AI in Hollywood. Ford was impressed with the technology used to make him look younger in the final film of the “Indiana Jones” franchise. Reeves, on the other hand, is more cautious and has legal protection to prohibit digital manipulation of his performances without his consent.

It’s clear that AI is changing the entertainment industry, and it will be interesting to see how it continues to evolve in the coming years.
