SEGA has announced that the late rapper Tupac Shakur will be a character in their upcoming video game, Stranger Than Heaven. The game's developers emphasized that no AI was used in recreating Tupac's likeness, instead relying on archival footage and photographs with the explicit permission and supervision of his estate. This approach aims to distinguish the game from other AI-generated depictions of deceased celebrities and has sparked discussion about the use of real artists' likenesses in digital media. AI
