Tom Hanks says AI version of him used in dental plan ad without his consent
Actor, who has previously expressed concerns about use of AI in film, tells fans ‘I have nothing to do’ with hoax video
Tom Hanks has warned fans that an ad for a dental plan that appears to use his image is in fact fake and was created using artificial intelligence.
In a message posted to his 9.5 million Instagram followers, the actor said his image was used without his permission. “BEWARE!! There’s a video out there promoting some dental plan with an AI version of me. I have nothing to do with it,” Hanks wrote over a screenshot of a computer-generated image of himself from the clip.
The Oscar winner has expressed concerns in the past about the use of AI in film and TV, although he has not shied away from approving digitally altered versions of himself in film.

…although he has not shied away from approving digitally altered versions of himself in film.
Besides being irrelevant, does this seem a little bit judgmental to anyone else?
Whoever wrote that apparently doesn't understand consent
Tom Hanks was asking for it.
If he didn't want to be digitally altered, he shouldn't have given us the idea.
What was he wearing?
Just sayin': I noticed a Woody when they digitized him. He seemed a very willing participant in the whole thing.
ChatGPT wrote it. Checkmate atheists.
Nothing about that comes off as judging Hanks for using it in movies, you're entirely reading that in yourself.
They probably just mentioned it to show that the technology has applications actors approve of too, or just as a piece of trivia. You're getting mad over an assumed intent.
