Nicolas Cage Warns Of Dire Scenario Presented By AI: 'That Is A Dead End'
HuffPost
The "Dream Scenario" star delivered an impassioned plea to fellow actors and filmmakers Sunday about "not letting robots dream for us."
Nicolas Cage is urging Hollywood not to let artificial intelligence destroy the “truth of art.”
The “Dream Scenario” star received a Saturn Award on Sunday for his performance in the satirical drama and delivered an impassioned acceptance speech after thanking writer-director Kristoffer Borgli for creating the “disturbing but hilarious” world of the 2023 film.
“But there is another world that is also disturbing me,” Cage said at the podium, per Variety. “It’s happening right now around all of us: the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us.”
“That is a dead end if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only,” he continued. “We can’t let that happen.”
Those words arrived shortly after Paul McCartney and Elton John criticized a U.K. copyright law that would allow companies to use their music to train AI models, or in John’s words to the Sunday Times, to “ride roughshod” over laws that “protect artists’ livelihoods.”
