Mark Wahlberg on using AI in film ‘the right way’ and being open to an AI clone carrying on his legacy

“I would be interested because I think in the future, if that’s where things go, it would be cool that my children or my grandchildren could be in charge of my likeness and my image, and hopefully put me in some good movies,” Wahlberg said. “It’ll be interesting to see where things go.”

He even said he wouldn’t be opposed if his upcoming animated series, “Ted,” continued for decades with an AI version of his likeness.

“I think it’s cool if I’m no longer able to do it or don’t exist, and if it could continue and people want to see it, I think it’d be interesting to see where things go,” Wahlberg said. “I think there’s certain things from my childhood that I wish still existed and were still a part of my life […] I wouldn’t be opposed to it. I think people are going to have massive opportunities to watch whatever it is they want, and if there’s a real audience for that, they should be entitled to have what they want to see.”
