AI Actors: The Ethical Dilemma of Bringing Dead St…

We are firmly in the era of artificial intelligence, which means we have technology to digitally resurrect dead artists for new projects – but does that mean we should? Tupac’s hologram performed at Coachella back in 2012 and nearly a decade later Whitney Houston’s toured across Europe. And while they’re still alive, ABBA Voyage is selling out night after night in London. It’s one thing for artists to be animated speaking their own words and singing their own songs. It’s another when they’re being used as tools to create something entirely new, that they had absolutely no say in. And there are a lot more troubling examples of how the slow acceptance of deepfakes is leading us down a scary road.
