George Clooney is worried about being used for a tampon advertisement after he dies.

George Clooney, one of Hollywood's most well-known and respected actors, recently expressed his thoughts and concerns about the future of AI. As he accepted a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival, Clooney couldn't help but address the hot-button topic that has been making its way through the industry. Clooney's specific fear revolves around the use of AI to recreate the likeness of famous people, especially after their death.

This topic has sparked a heated debate within Hollywood, with some stars like the late Val Kilmer being "brought back to life" through AI, while others like Robin Williams' family have returned to social media after a decade to protect his legacy from what they see as rampant AI abuse. As more and more high-profile actors are being questioned about their stance on this rapidly advancing technology, Clooney couldn't escape the question either. He joked, "I would like to avoid being in a tampon commercial 20 years after I'm dead.

I would like to avoid that." But on a more serious note, he also expressed his concern about the impact of AI on the creative industry as a whole, stating that it's going to hurt in a lot of ways. The Oscar winner went on to explain that AI will likely take away a significant number of jobs, particularly for visual effects supervisors. He believes that the industry is not taking the lead on this issue, and it will ultimately have a negative impact if left unchecked.

Clooney's concerns about his likeness being out of his control after his death are shared by Williams' family, who recently returned to social media to fight against the rampant AI abuse of his voice and likeness. They stated that making a space online where people can find authentic content of Williams is one of the best ways to combat this issue. While discussing a range of topics at the festival, Clooney was also asked about the current state of US politics.

Despite the challenging times and the current administration, Clooney remains optimistic and believes that the country will get through it. He hopes that the 2028 election will bring a sense of normalcy and restoration.
