Samuel L. Jackson isn’t surprised by the alarming rise of artificial intelligence. Because, as he claimed, he predicted this trend long ago.
during an interview with rolling stone, Marvel Star said it had long warned about the rise of technology.
“Is people just starting to worry about it? I asked about it a long time ago,” he explained of his experience the first time he was “scanned” on set.
“When I first got my scan of George Lucas, I thought, ‘What is this for?'”
“George and I are good friends.” Star Wars The actor continued. “So we kind of laughed about it because we thought he did because he put all the old people in Episode I. And if something happens to them , because he still wanted them in the film.”
Then, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, pop icons were subjected to a scanning process.
“Ever since you joined the Marvel Universe, every time you change costumes in a Marvel movie, they’ll scan you,” the actor added.
“Ever since I did ‘Captain Marvel,’ they’ve done the Laura project that rejuvenates me and everything else, they’ve been like, ‘Well, if they really want to do it, they can always do this.’ That’s what it feels like.”
The 74-year-old also shared his approach when dealing with ambiguous language in contracts and warned that AI “could become something to worry about” for artists in the future.
“Future actors should do the same thing I always do when I sign a contract. It has the words ‘permanent’ and ‘known and unknown.’ I cross out the **, this is how I do it, I say ‘No, I do’.” I disagree with this. “
