Tom Hanks says he could appear in movies after death with AI technology

Tom Hanks has raised the prospect of his career continuing after his death using artificial intelligence on the Friday episode of "The Adam Buxton" podcast.

"Anybody can now recreate themselves at any age they are by way of AI or deep fake technology," said the Oscar-winning actor.

He also mentioned "The Polar Express," which was created with AI-like technology that relied on his voice and face to create an animated likeness.

Hanks also said that the developments in AI are encouraging movie agents to write contracts to protect actors' likenesses as intellectual property.
