'I could be hit by a bus tomorrow and that's it,' Tom Hanks said. 'But performances can go on and on and on and on.'
In May 2023, actor Tom Hanks said he planned to use artificial-intelligence technology to keep making films after his death.In a podcast interview that aired on May 12, 2023, Hanks acknowledged the possibility of having his likeness recreated by AI and used in films; however, he did not say he would definitely use the technology to make films after his death. In full context, he was speaking on the technology's potential impact on the film industry as a whole — not his career specifically.
In that interview, which aired May 12, 2023, Hanks talked about the possibilities and concerns that artificial intelligence generated, and the potential legal ramifications for actors who wanted to protect their image, voice, or other characteristics as intellectual property. He discussed on a theoretical level how his imageuse artificial intelligence to make films in any circumstance, much less to keep making films after his death.
I can tell you that there [are] discussions going on in all of the guilds, all of the agencies, and all of the legal firms in order to come up with the legal ramifications of my face and my voice and everybody else's being our intellectual property. [...] Outside the understanding that has been done with AI and deep-fake, there'll be nothing to tell you that it's not me and me alone.
Hanks: I think you have more faith in the human condition than others. There are some people that won't care, that won't make that delineation. [...] We're talking about literally a long time ago, this guy invented a machine that could print, that could create lies that would be taken as absolute truths by anyone who read them and then decided to believe them as opposed to examine them. And that guy, his name was Gutenberg and he invented the printing press.
