Tom Hanks warns fans about a computer-generated version of himself promoting a dental plan. In an Instagram post, Hanks shares a screenshot of the fake Hanks and states that he has no association with it. The USA Today reports that the 67-year-old actor did not disclose which company was using his likeness without permission. While Hanks has allowed digitally altered versions of himself in movies like Polar Express, he has expressed concerns about the future of AI in the film industry, according to the Guardian.
Hanks, in an interview with comedian Adam Buxton’s podcast, spoke about the power of AI and deepfake technology. He stated that anyone can recreate themselves using this technology, which poses both artistic and legal challenges. Hanks mentioned ongoing discussions among unions, agencies, and legal firms regarding the intellectual property rights of actors’ faces and voices. The actors’ strike is ongoing, while Hollywood writers have resumed work. (Read more Tom Hanks stories.)
