Although it is very useful, Artificial Intelligence (AI) also has its risks, and Tom Hanks has already proven it. Recently, the actor denounced that they recreated his image with AI to make a commercial, where he was never asked for permission.
Through his social networks, the protagonist of Forrest Gump warned his followers of how dangerous the use of this tool can be, because it not only happens in Black Mirror, they supplanted his identity for commercial purposes. “Beware. There’s a video out there promoting some dental plan with an AI version of me. I have nothing to do with that,” he said.
For her part, King, co-host of CBS Mornings, also denounced having been a victim of technology. The celebrity appeared in a recording where interested parties would click on her because she revealed her secret to losing weight, which, she stressed, is completely false.
“I have nothing to do with this company, I have never heard of this product, and I have never used it! Please don’t be fooled by these AI videos,” she expressed.
Hollywood Actors Striking Against the Use of AI
Recall that in the strike of actors and screenwriters in Hollywood, they asked to limit the use of Artificial Intelligence, because according to the guild, they wanted to use their image to create productions, as stated in one of the chapters of the last season of Black Mirror.
Generative AI programs caused discontent in the industry after ChatGPT’s ability to create essays, poems, and more was proven. And while it’s amazing all that can be done with AI, it’s also dangerous because, seamlessly, the tool creates fake photos and videos that look real.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
AI, according to Oracle, is the name given to those applications with the ability to perform complex tasks that previously required human intervention. Now, machines will replace this task, making even the unimaginable possible, even if it means extravagantly dressing the Pope.
How to Tell if an Image Was Created with AI

The first would be the watermark that some creators usually use to mark their authorship, and the second is nothing more than pure observation. Although AI achieves creations that are almost real, there are still some details that are missing, especially when it comes to people.
