Samuel L. Jackson Concerned About AI; 'I Don't Approve'

The screenwriters' strike is definitely hampering work on upcoming movies, and studios are beginning to consider using artificial intelligence to complete their works. One such studio is Marvel Studios, which created the title sequence for Secret Invasion using this method.

Samuel L. Jackson is apparently not a fan of such a solution. In an interview with Far Out Magazine he revealed that he had concerns about artificial intelligence since his performance in The Phantom Menace in 1999.

Artificial intelligence is capable of making actors appear on screens even after death. Let's recall the tragically deceased Paul Walker, who passed away during the filming of Fast and Furious 7. The filmmakers were then able to recreate his face through AI technology.

Samuel L. Jackson says a definite "no" to acting in movies after death and advises other actors to follow in his footsteps.

The premiere of Marvel's new show starring Samuel L. Jackson has stirred up a lot of controversy around the topic of artificial intelligence. Method Studios, responsible for the intro, has heard a lot of criticism precisely because of its use of AI. This is how the filmmakers defended their decision in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:

They also explained that the opening sequence was not created only using artificial intelligence. Human artists also worked on it, using traditional animation methods. Their work was therefore not compromised by the use of AI, which was the main argument of those who criticized the opening credits.
