Tom Holland: AI Lacks Soul, Creativity Safe
17 Jun
Summary
- Holland believes AI cannot replicate human emotions like happiness or sadness.
- He argues creativity is protected because it stems from human experience.
- SAG-AFTRA has endorsed a Trump administration AI policy framework.

Actor Tom Holland recently shared his perspective on the growing presence of generative AI in Hollywood, asserting that the technology cannot replace human creativity. He explained that AI lacks a soul and the capacity to understand complex human emotions, such as the difference between happiness and sadness.
Holland's views stem from his belief that true creativity is intrinsically linked to the human experience and emotional expression, which AI cannot replicate. This makes him feel protected against AI taking over creative roles.
Concurrently, the labor union SAG-AFTRA has lent its support to a Trump administration AI policy framework. This framework advocates for congressional legislation covering aspects like parental controls, intellectual property rights, and the expansion of AI workforce development.
Earlier in the month, an executive order was signed, establishing a voluntary framework. This order mandates that AI companies provide the government with access to new models for a 30-day review period prior to their public release, highlighting governmental interest in regulating AI development.
