Nicolas Cage, 60, recently expressed his concerns about the use of artificial intelligence in Hollywood during an interview with The New Yorker. Cage revealed his apprehension about having his likeness manipulated by AI, particularly in the context of getting a scan done for a show and a movie he was working on. He emphasized his fear of AI technology being used to alter his appearance without his consent, stating that he is 'terrified' of such possibilities.
Cage also raised questions about the impact of AI on the authenticity and integrity of artists' work, pondering where the essence of creativity might end up in a world increasingly reliant on digital manipulation. He further highlighted the unsettling prospect of studios retaining control over his likeness even after his passing, expressing his discomfort with the idea of his image being exploited posthumously.
