Robin Williams’ Daughter Speaks Out Against AI Recreations Of Actors’ Voices: "I Find It Personally Disturbing"

Zelda Williams, daughter of the late Robin Williams, has added her thoughts about artificial intelligence being used to recreate the performances of deceased actors. While studios have recently come to an agreement with the WGA concerning the use of AI throughout the script development and writing process, the rapidly evolving technology also poses several serious implications for performers, both living and deceased. Seeking to establish clear and ethical guidelines around the acceptable use of AI remains a key part of SAG-AFTRA’s ongoing strike action, and the results of any agreement reached with studios will likely set an important standard for decades to come.
