Nicolas Cage Announces He Likely Won't Work With Amazon Again Due To AI Concerns
During a panel at New York Comic Con, actor Nicolas Cage stated he likely won’t work with Amazon again due to concerns over the company's use of artificial intelligence in film production. Cage criticized Amazon for being an “AI-friendly” company and referenced its $50 billion investment in OpenAI as evidence. He specifically mentioned refusing to sign a waiver allowing AI usage on the project 'Spider Noir,' which led him to conclude he is no longer part of their creative circle. Cage's comments highlight growing tensions within Hollywood over the use of AI, particularly regarding actors' rights and control over their digital likenesses in film. His decision not to collaborate with Amazon again underscores a broader industry debate about ethical concerns surrounding generative AI technologies used for deepfakes or performance replication without consent.
