Actor says AI companies use movies and TV to make money without fairly compensating actors; industry should 'get ahead of that flood'

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. -- Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt emerged Tuesday as one of Hollywood's most vocal critics of artificial intelligence, saying the new technology represents a threat to the work he and other performers do.

Performances by Gordon-Levitt and his "brothers and sisters" in show business are being used by large language models to train new AI technology without permission or compensation, he said.
