Nicolas Cage Calls AI Performances a 'Dead End', as 'Robots Cannot Reflect the Human Condition'

By JosephFeb 20,2025

Nicolas Cage has issued a stark warning against the use of artificial intelligence in acting, asserting that actors who allow AI to influence their performances are heading towards a creative "dead end." In his Saturn Awards acceptance speech for Best Actor (Dream Scenario), Cage voiced his concerns.

Variety reports Cage's speech, where he expressed gratitude to director Kristoffer Borgli, but then shifted focus to the burgeoning AI landscape. He stated his belief in the irreplaceable role of human experience in art, arguing that robots are incapable of truly reflecting the human condition. He cautioned that allowing AI to manipulate even a small aspect of an actor's performance would inevitably compromise the integrity and authenticity of the art, ultimately prioritizing financial gain over artistic merit.

Cage emphasized the crucial role of art in mirroring both the external and internal aspects of human experience, a process he described as a deeply human, thoughtful, and emotional recreation—a feat he believes AI cannot replicate. He warned that surrendering this creative process to AI would result in art devoid of heart, lacking depth and ultimately becoming meaningless. He urged actors to protect themselves from AI interference, advocating for authentic and honest self-expression.

Cage's stance echoes concerns expressed by other actors, particularly in the voice acting field where AI recreation of performances is increasingly common, even in major video game productions. Voice actors like Ned Luke (Grand Theft Auto 5) and Doug Cockle (The Witcher) have publicly criticized AI's impact on their profession, citing concerns about lost income and the ethical implications of AI-generated voiceovers.

The film industry itself is divided on the issue. Director Tim Burton has described AI-generated art as "very disturbing," while Zack Snyder, director of Justice League and Rebel Moon, advocates for embracing AI technology rather than resisting it.
