Robert Downey Jr. Vows To Sue Studios That Create AI Versions Of Him
HuffPost
The Oscar-winning actor said that "my law firm will still be very active” even after he dies.
Robert Downey Jr.’s films may live forever in the hearts of filmgoers, but he doesn’t want artificial intelligence-powered versions of himself making new ones, he said in a recent appearance on the “On With Kara Swisher” podcast.
Downey, 59, said he would sue any studios that try to re-create him digitally.
“I would like to here state that I intend to sue all future executives just on spec,” Downey told host Kara Swisher, who then helpfully noted that he would be dead when that happened.
“But my law firm will still be very active,” he countered, to laughs.
But Downey insisted he’s not currently obsessed with the possibility of digital soul-stealing after his death. His thoughts on AI and digital re-creation follow what he describes as “two tracks.”
