Samuel L. Jackson doesn’t look forward to living as an AI-generated image after he’s gone. Having played Nick Fury for over a decade, the actor would hate for his digital likeness to continue starring in the Marvel movies. Hence, he makes sure to avoid that clause in the contract all the time.
Like most artists in the industry, Samuel L. Jackson is wary of artificial intelligence as a replacement system. He also called out the need for legal consequences for actors who hate having their faces and voices repurposed for different projects. The ‘Secret Invasion’ actor also wants the coming breed of actors to be careful with their contracts.

Samuel L. Jackson told Rolling Stone about the invasion of artificial intelligence in the film business. Jackson’s first experience with AI was while filming ‘Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.’ The actor had to get his body scanned for insurance and the film’s special effects database. While filming ‘Captain Marvel,’ Jackson noted that while technology has changed, the intention remains the same.
The ‘Secret Invasion’ actor expressed his fears about AI hijacking people’s life. He also wants to warn the young actors about signing on for more than they can handle. Jackson told the magazine, “Future actors should do what I always do when I get a contract, and it has the words’ in perpetuity’ and ‘known and unknown’ on it: I cross that shit out. It’s my way of saying, ‘No, I do not approve of this.’”

Samuel L. Jackson also praised her friend for dealing with the fandom, saying, “She’s not going to let any of that stuff destroy her. These incel dudes who hate strong women, or the fact that she’s a feminist who has an opinion and expressed it? Everybody wants people to be who they want them to be. She is who she is, and she’s genuinely that.”
