Tom Holland Says AI Lacks Soul, Artists Are Safe
10 reported
Tom Holland shared his views on artificial intelligence during an appearance on Spain’s “El Hormiguero” talk show Wednesday alongside Zendaya. He stated that creativity is safe from AI because creativity is tied to the human experience, involving emotions and understanding one another. Holland argued that AI can process data but cannot understand emotions or the difference between happiness and sadness. He said artists express themselves rather than simply copy, adding that he feels protected. Holland is preparing for a busy summer movie season, appearing as Telemachus in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” releasing July 24 and returning to the Marvel universe with “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” releasing July 31. Zendaya also stars in both films. Holland is among numerous actors and filmmakers speaking about AI and job security in Hollywood, with Guillermo del Toro warning about image and cinema illiteracy, while Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, and Martin Scorsese have expressed different views on AI’s use.
