Mark Wahlberg on using AI in film ‘the right way’ and being open to an AI clone carrying on his legacy

At TechCrunch Disrupt, actor and director Mark Wahlberg shared his views on AI in filmmaking. He believes AI has a place in the industry if used "the right way," such as enhancing visual elements in his upcoming Pete Rose biopic, but he opposes replacing real actors or using AI to generate scripts. Wahlberg emphasized that storytelling should remain central, noting that effects-driven movies are less appealing to him now. He also expressed openness to having an AI likeness of himself carry on his legacy. Although he hasn't visited the CAA Vault, which creates AI replicas of actors, he would be interested, as it would allow his children or grandchildren to manage his likeness and potentially continue his animated series "Ted." He sees potential for AI to provide audiences with more of what they want to watch.
