Shelly Palmer delves into the intersection of AI technology and the Hollywood film industry. Amidst a strike from thousands of actors and writers seeking a fair contract in the digital age, he explores how AI capabilities are reshaping film production, including de-aging actors, replacing extras with deepfakes, and more.

Palmer speaks with Dan Bowens and Tashanea Whitlow on Fox 5’s Good Day New York about the contentious debate surrounding the use of actors’ names and likenesses and the potential middle ground involving the use of officially licensed tools and images in movies. They touch upon the unions’ pursuit of a percentage of revenue for streaming royalties and producers’ resistance to this demand.
