In this Clip, actor Ian Poake confronts a provocative question: would you allow an AI copy of yourself to perform in your stead?
He reveals his instinctive moral resistance—no contract is worth sacrificing the integrity of his craft—and outlines the deep fears surrounding deepfakes, unauthorized digital skin suits, and loss of creative authenticity.
We dive into how such deals could upend performance rights, generate existential crises around identity and purpose, and even spark widespread mental-health fallout.
Poake argues for clear ethical guardrails and diverse oversight in AI development to protect artists’ work.
Whether you’re an actor, filmmaker, or tech enthusiast, this timely conversation unpacks the practical, ethical, and emotional stakes of AI acting doubles—and why every creative professional needs to weigh in now.
