Robin Williams’ Daughter Issues Urgent Plea: The Shocking Reason Behind Halting AI Videos of Her Dad Revealed

“I have unfortunately been a very public victim of AI,” Johansson told People in 2025, “but the truth is that the threat of AI affects each and every one of us.”

SAG-AFTRA president Sean Astin, of The Lord of the Rings and Stranger Things acclaim, addressed the program in a statement to Variety, saying his union “knows what this is and how to treat it.”

“With regard to AI, we have an extraordinary amount of leverage, because the audience wants to see real human performers in movies, TV shows, animation, video games, audio books and in all the other ways that we represent our members,” Astin said.

Even as Hollywood actors and directors push to keep AI out of films, this is what the ideal future looks like to some people. Zelda Williams, however, has a different outlook:

“And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed,” Zelda wrote in her recent post. “You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.”
