Nicolas Cage is doubling down on his fears about artificial intelligence.
In an interview with The New Yorker this week while promoting his new horror movie “Longlegs,” Cage had to wrap up because he was scheduled to do “a scan” afterward.
“I have to slip out after this to go get a scan done for the show, and then also for the movie I’m doing after the show. Two scans in one day,” he explained, likely referring to his upcoming “Spider-Man Noir” series.
“Well, they have to put me in a computer and match my eye color and change — I don’t know. They’re just going to steal my body and do whatever they want with it via digital AI. … God, I hope not AI. I’m terrified of that. I’ve been very vocal about it,” he said during the interview.
“And it makes me wonder, you know, where will the truth of the artists end up? Is it going to be replaced? Is it going to be transmogrified? Where’s the heartbeat going to be?
“I mean, what are you going to do with my body and my face when I’m dead? I don’t want you to do anything with it.”
Rob Rosenberg, founder and principal of Telluride Legal Strategies, told Fox News Digital Cage doesn’t need to be as worried as he seems to be due to the actors strike last summer.
