'I'm Not an AI-Friendly Actor' — Nicolas Cage Says He'll 'Probably Never Work With' Amazon Again After $50 Billion OpenAI Investment
Cage said he will likely avoid the studio after refusing an AI waiver for Spider-Noir and cited $50 billion in Amazon OpenAI investment.
- On Saturday, actor Nicolas Cage stated at New York Comic Con he likely will not work with Amazon again, citing his refusal to sign an artificial intelligence waiver for Spider-Noir.
- The cancellation of Spider-Noir last month surprised industry observers, despite the series earning 11 Emmy nominations and amassing 2.6 billion minutes viewed in its first six weeks on Prime Video.
- Cage labeled the studio "AI-friendly" due to their $50 billion investment in OpenAI, stating "I am not an AI-friendly actor" and refusing to authorize AI usage during production.
- The actor now plans to collaborate with Gen-Z filmmakers prioritizing handmade production, while confirming his appearance in the next season of True Detective.
- His opposition to artificial intelligence aligns with long-standing advocacy; he previously called the technology a "dead end" for the integrity of human art.
