Nicolas Cage Condemns AI’s Role in Hollywood at Saturn Awards

The actor warned that artificial intelligence threatens the authenticity of art and urged artists to safeguard creative integrity.

Nicolas Cage used his Saturn Award acceptance speech to voice concerns about the growing use of AI in filmmaking, calling it a 'dead end' for creative expression.
He emphasized that robots cannot replicate the human condition or the emotional depth required for authentic art.
Cage argued that even minor uses of AI in performances could lead to the erosion of artistic integrity and the dominance of financial interests.
His remarks follow broader debates in Hollywood over AI, including its role in editing performances and creating digital likenesses, as seen in films like 'The Brutalist.'
The actor has previously expressed fears about AI being used to manipulate his likeness posthumously, urging the industry to prioritize ethical considerations.
