Om du har stött på en reklamvideo där en plastig Tom Hanks försöker sälja tandvård har du nog stött på skådespelares största mardröm just nu: att ersättas av AI. Under helgen varnade stjärnan nämligen för sin AI-kopia via Instagram, och postade även en bild på den digitala dubbelgångaren:
"BEWARE!! There's a video out there promoting some dental plan with an AI version of me. I have nothing to do with it."
Den kontroversiella AI-tekniken har varit en av anledningarna till de långvariga protesterna i Hollywood och just Hanks har tidigare kommenterat saken under Adum Baxton-podcasten med att det kommer att vara en juridisk utmaning i framtiden:
"Anybody can now recreate themselves at any age they are by way of AI or deep fake technology. I could be hit by a bus tomorrow and that's it, but performances can go on and on and on and on. Outside the understanding of AI and deepfake, there'll be nothing to tell you that it's not me and me alone. And it's going to have some degree of lifelike quality. That's certainly an artistic challenge but it's also a legal one."
"Without a doubt people will be able to tell [that it's AI], but the question is will they care? There are some people that won't care, that won't make that delineation."
Vad tycker du om AI:s framfart i teknikvärlden?
