  ‘We’re going through a big revolution’: how AI is de-ageing stars on screen
  Stars like Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford are being rendered younger digitally but voices in the industry express concern about where we might be heading

  Craggy, grey-haired and 80 years old, Harrison Ford might seem a bit old to don his brown Fedora-style hat or crack his whip as Indiana Jones. But a trailer for his upcoming film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny offers a flashback to Indy in his swashbuckling glory days.

  “That is my actual face at that age,” the actor explained on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “They have this artificial intelligence (AI) programme. It can go through every foot of film that Lucasfilm owns because I did a bunch of movies for them and they have all this footage including film that wasn’t printed: stock. They could mine it from where the light is coming from, the expression. But that’s my actual face. Then I put little dots on my face and I say the words and they make it. It’s fantastic.”

  • Ethical AI... the moment they decide not to cut Harrison a check and use archival footage to recreate his likeness and voice without consent it gets ugly.jonny_quest_lives
  • Consent and collaboration plus compensation. Remove any of those and it's exploitation unless he signed likeness rights away.jonny_quest_lives
  • James Earl Jones gave disney his Vader voice... https://mashable.com…jonny_quest_lives
  • Which should help set precedent that a company realizes a distinct voice performance can be Intellectual Property.jonny_quest_lives
