The rise of artificial intelligence is spreading more and more every day and it is very common to find videos where montages are made with the faces of famous people to insert them into situations in which they were not involved. While it can be used for nefarious purposes, the same technology can be applied in Hollywood to bring the performers back to life.
However, Robert Downey Jr. is clear that he will not allow such an attack on his image, whether he is alive or dead. Chatting in the podcast On With Kara Swisherthe actor has explained that the issue of AI does not have much room in his mind, since “I have a real emotional life”, but He doesn’t believe that Marvel is going to go that far..
“I’m not worried about them kidnapping my character’s soul, because there are three or four people there who make all the decisions, and they would never do that to me, whether I’m involved or not.”
Despite this, he was warned that it was likely that executives, in the future, might not share that reasoning, to which Downey Jr. stressed what weapon he would wield. “Well, you’re right. I want to make it clear that I intend to sue all those future executives just in case,” said the artist, who noted that, even though he is dead, “my law firm will continue to be very active.”
Precisely on the topic of AI he speaks McNealthe Broadway play in which Downey Jr. participates, in which large corporations related to this technology and their CEOs are criticized.
“I don’t envy those who are over-identified with this new phase of the information age. The idea that somehow it belongs to them because they have these gigantic startups is a fallacy. The problem is when these people think they are the arbiters to manage this and, at the same time, they want and/or need to be seen favorably. That is a monumental mistake that turns me off and makes me not want to engage with them because they are not being honest.
