Brian Cox Calls AI Actor Replicas Identity Theft, Joins Growing Calls to Address AI Safety Concerns

Brian Cox says using AI to replicate actors is "identity theft" and a "human rights issue", especially for young actors.

Cox is concerned about actors being exploited and having their images used in perpetuity without proper compensation.

Actors in the US have been on strike for over 100 days over issues like unauthorized AI image use.

High profile actors like Scarlett Johansson are becoming victims of deepfake ads without authorization.

A recent AI summit brought politicians, tech leaders, and academics together to address AI safety concerns and resulted in a collaboration agreement between 28 nations.
