Sean Penn opposes Hollywood studios’ AI likeness requests

Published

on

Actor Sean Penn has voiced strong opposition to Hollywood studios’ requests for actors’ likenesses to be used in artificial intelligence (AI) projects.

In a recent interview, Penn expressed his concerns, stating, “I want your daughter’s,” emphasising the need to protect the privacy and rights of individuals, especially celebrities, in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technology.

Hollywood studios have been increasingly interested in digitising actors’ likenesses for use in AI-driven projects, such as deepfake technology and virtual performances. While this can offer new creative possibilities, it also raises ethical questions regarding consent and control over one’s image.

Penn’s stance aligns with a growing movement among actors and public figures who are calling for stricter regulations and safeguards against the unauthorised use of their likenesses in AI applications. He argues that actors and their families should have the final say in how their images are utilised in AI, echoing concerns about potential misuse and the erosion of privacy.

As the debate over AI likeness rights intensifies, it remains to be seen how Hollywood studios and the wider entertainment industry will respond to these concerns.

China’s property market crisis worsens

Published

on

The Chinese property market is currently facing a crisis, with major developers like Evergrande and Country Garden experiencing significant financial challenges.

 
This alarming situation has garnered global attention due to its potential impact on the Chinese and international economies.

Evergrande, one of China’s largest property developers, has been struggling with a massive debt burden, exceeding $300 billion. This has raised concerns about the company’s ability to meet its financial obligations, causing a ripple effect across the property market. Country Garden, another prominent player in the industry, is also facing mounting debt pressures, further exacerbating the crisis.

The property market’s decline can be attributed to several factors, including government policies aimed at curbing excessive borrowing, a slowing economy, and a general shift towards more sustainable and affordable housing options.

These challenges have created uncertainty in the market, leading to a decrease in property sales and declining developer revenues.

The implications of this crisis extend beyond the property sector, with potential repercussions for the broader Chinese economy. #ticker today #featured
