There will never be another Whoopi Goldberg quite like her, especially if it’s created by artificial intelligence. The acclaimed 67-year-old co-host of “The View” recently expressed her desire to not be replicated by technology after her passing. This revelation came about during a conversation with renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on the popular daytime talk show. Tyson, 64, emphasized how AI has the ability to instantly analyze vast amounts of data, but co-host Joy Behar, 80, countered by pointing out that it can also deceive. Tyson added that people tend to lump all AI into one category and view it as problematic, even though we already interact with a version of it in our daily lives. Tyson referenced Siri, the AI assistant on iPhones, to illustrate his point, noting that Siri provides directions in real-time to avoid traffic. He argued that concerns about AI achieving consciousness or taking control of the world are valid, but it’s important not to fear everything it offers. Goldberg, known for her candidness, chimed in by expressing her worry that AI could duplicate her after she’s gone. Her co-hosts playfully responded, assuring her that one Whoopi is more than enough. Goldberg continued her argument by highlighting the ability of AI in cinema to create realistic duplicates, posing the question of how one can distinguish between the real and the artificial. The Post reached out to Goldberg’s representatives for further comments on the matter. This is not the first time Goldberg has been candid about her desires for the future. In December, she revealed that her will includes a clause preventing unauthorized biopics about her life unless her family gives their consent. She also does not want her likeness used for holograms, as revealed last month. Goldberg has always been cautious about AI, going so far as to criticize Amazon’s Alexa and expressing concern about its ability to invade privacy. Her reservations arise from the portrayal of technology in science fiction, where it often becomes a threatening force.
