Actor Nicolas Cage has announced he will likely no longer work with Amazon following concerns regarding the studio's extensive investment in artificial intelligence. During a panel at New York Comic Con, Cage expressed his opposition to the company's stance on AI and clarified that he never granted permission for the technology to be utilized in his series, Spider-Noir. The superhero show was recently cancelled after one season, a decision that Cage supported, noting that he was satisfied with the single season of the production.
Cage has long been an outspoken critic of AI in the entertainment industry, having previously described himself as terrified by the technology's potential impact. He believes that robots are incapable of reflecting the human condition and fears that integrating AI into performances threatens the integrity and purity of art. Moving forward, the actor intends to focus on collaborating with younger filmmakers who prioritize manual, creative efforts over automated processes, aiming to avoid any association with systems that replace human expression with financial interest.
