Nicolas Cage expresses AI concerns, seeks likeness protection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Actor Nicolas Cage has expressed concerns about AI, particularly in relation to his work with Amazon on the series "Spider-Noir." He reportedly requested a waiver to prevent AI from being used to generate his likeness or voice in future projects. This stance aligns with a broader sentiment of caution regarding AI's integration into creative industries, as suggested by the mention of the "Butlerian Jihad" concept, which in science fiction represents a rebellion against artificial intelligence.
