Actor Tom Holland expressed confidence in the safety of creative professions from artificial intelligence, emphasizing that true artistry stems from the human experience and emotional depth.
Holland stated on a talk show that AI, despite its data-processing capabilities, cannot understand nuanced human emotions like happiness or sadness, nor can it possess a 'soul,' which he believes is crucial for creative expression.
Separately, the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has endorsed the Trump administration's AI policy framework. This framework advocates for legislative action on issues such as intellectual property protection and AI workforce development.
Earlier this month, a voluntary framework was established via executive order, requiring AI companies to allow government review of new models before public release.
