Tom Hanks knows artificial intelligence could have his likeness appearing in movies long after he's gone. But he wonders if people will care that it's not really him.
On an episode of "The Adam Buxton Podcast" released Friday, Hanks pondered the artistic and legal questions that come with the reality that artificial intelligence is increasingly changing the world. From symphonies written by ChatGPT to AI chatbots programmed to flirt on dating apps, it's easy to wonder what might still be sacred. And Hanks appears to be a bit cynical.
Buxton asked Hanks if he would place legal restrictions on "who gets to use AI in order to re-create a Tom Hanks performance" when the Oscar winner is no longer acting.
