On a recent episode of the “On With Kara Swisher” podcast, the Oscar-winning actor said he intends to “sue all future executives” who allow an AI-created version of him.
LOS ANGELES — Robert Downey Jr. doesn’t think Marvel executives would ever recreate his portrayal of Tony Stark using artificial intelligence. But if they did, he would lawyer up — even posthumously.
Speaking about his role as Iron Man, Downey said he does not want his likeness recreated by AI technology. The discussion comes amid the Hollywood video game performers’ strike, which began in July after more than 18 months of negotiations over a new interactive media agreement with game industry giants broke down over artificial intelligence protections.
A spokesperson for SAG-AFTRA said that Downey has the right to deny any digital replica uses in film because of California’s new law prohibiting the unauthorized replication of a dead performer’s likenesses without prior consent. That law, signed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom in September, was sponsored by the union. that delves into themes of artificial intelligence, artistic integrity, plagiarism and copyright infringement.
