Tom Hanks comments on artificial intelligence and reveals concern about the future of Toy Story

Tom Hanks spoke again about artificial intelligence and admitted that the technology raises important questions for the future of entertainment, including historic franchises like "Toy Story". The actor, who has voiced the character Woody since the first film released in 1995, stated that advances in AI can create unprecedented situations for actors and studios, especially when it comes to the digital reproduction of voices and images. According to Hanks, technology has already reached a level capable of generating convincing versions of artists without the need for direct participation from the original professionals. The discussion has gained strength in Hollywood in recent years, mainly after strikes and negotiations involving image rights and the use of artificial intelligence in audiovisual productions. Although he did not state that the Toy Story franchise will use AI in this way, the actor highlighted that the topic needs to be seriously debated by the industry. Hanks remains linked to the Pixar series and remains one of the most recognized voices in animated cinema, but believes that the sector is entering a phase of profound transformation. The statement reflects a concern shared by several professionals who follow the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies.
