Nicolas Cage Warns Young Actors About AI in Hollywood

Nicolas Cage, a veteran actor known for his unique style, recently spoke at the Newport Beach Film Festival. He had a special message for new actors. Cage warned them about a new technology called EBDR. This stands for Employment-Based Digital Replica. It's a type of AI that studios can use to change an actor's performance. Cage explained that acting is a creative process. It comes from the heart and imagination. But with EBDR, studios can alter an actor's face, voice, and even body language. They can do this without the actor's consent. Cage thinks this is a big problem. He wants actors to protect their work. He calls it MVMFMBMI, which stands for My Voice, My Face, My Body, My Imagination - My Performance. Cage has been worried about AI for a while. He's afraid it could change how actors work in Hollywood. He wants actors to be aware of the risks. He wants them to stand up for their art.
