Morgan Freeman said his lawyers are already “very, very busy” tackling unauthorized artificial intelligence (AI)<\/a> uses of his voice that have left the actor feeling “a little PO’d.”<\/p>\n

“Many, yeah. Quite a few,” Freeman told The Guardian<\/a> on Monday when asked about ongoing cases.<\/p>\n

While promoting his latest film, “Now You See Me: Now You Don\u2019t,” the 88-year-old actor discussed his views on artificial intelligence replicating actors’ voices after their deaths, such as the late James Earl Jones.<\/p>\n

Jones had given Lucasfilm permission to continue using his voice as Darth Vader through AI technology<\/a> before his death, but Freeman strongly disagreed with the idea.<\/p>\n

“<\/strong>I\u2019m a little PO\u2019d, you know,” Freeman said. “I\u2019m like any other actor: don\u2019t mimic me with falseness. I don\u2019t appreciate it and I get paid for doing stuff like that, so if you\u2019re gonna do it without me, you\u2019re robbing me.”<\/p>\n

Freeman also criticized the creation of AI actress “Tilly Norwood,” which sparked widespread condemnation from actors’ unions<\/a> when she was introduced in September.<\/p>\n

“Nobody likes her because she\u2019s not real and that takes the part of a real person, so it\u2019s not going to work out very well in the movies or in television \u2026 The union\u2019s job is to keep actors acting, so there\u2019s going to be that conflict,” Freeman said.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Freeman’s representative for comment but did not immediately receive a response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Freeman has been subjected to several AI deepfakes over the years and has spoken out against its uses. In 2024, he thanked his social media followers for reporting an AI video<\/a> using his voice on TikTok.<\/p>\n

VOICE ACTORS WARN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COULD REPLACE THEM, CUT INDUSTRY JOBS AND PAY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Thank you to my incredible fans for your vigilance and support in calling out the unauthorized use of an A.I. voice imitating me,” he wrote to\u00a0his Facebook. “Your dedication helps authenticity and integrity remain paramount. Grateful. #AI #scam #imitation #IdentityProtection.”<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re going to speak, speak distinctly, hit your final consonants and do exercises to lower your voice,” Freeman said. “Most people\u2019s voices are higher than they would be normally if they knew how to relax it. He taught that sort of thing. It was Robert Whitman: I will never forget him.“<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
