Title: Mark Wahlberg on using AI in film ‘the right way’ and being open to an AI clone carrying on his legacy

标题：马克·沃尔伯格谈以“正确方式”使用电影人工智能，并对人工智能克隆延续其演艺生涯持开放态度

Even as Hollywood remains divided over the use of AI in filmmaking, actor and director Mark Wahlberg believes the technology has a place in the industry as long as it’s used the right way. Wahlberg, who’s also an entrepreneur and angel investor, took the stage at TechCrunch Disrupt to share his perspective on AI’s role in filmmaking, and how he’s open to having an AI likeness of himself carry on his legacy.

尽管好莱坞在电影制作中使用人工智能的问题上仍存在分歧，但演员兼导演马克·沃尔伯格认为，只要使用得当，这项技术在行业中就有一席之地。同时也是企业家和天使投资人的沃尔伯格在 TechCrunch Disrupt 大会上分享了他对人工智能在电影制作中作用的看法，并表示他愿意让一个人工智能化的自己来延续其演艺生涯。

The actor said he plans to potentially use AI to enhance certain aspects of the upcoming Pete Rose biopic, in which he’ll star in the title role. “It’s a fairly expensive movie, but, we’re talking about utilizing [AI] to enhance the stadium setting, things of that nature,” Wahlberg said. “I don’t think you should just, you know, put an idea into ChatGPT and it puts out a script, and then you should go make that and not use real actors. But if you can use it to enhance what you’re doing, I’m all for that.”

这位演员表示，他计划在即将上映的皮特·罗斯传记片中利用人工智能来增强某些方面，他将在片中担任主角。“这是一部相当昂贵的电影，但我们正在讨论利用[人工智能]来增强体育场场景等类似的东西，”沃尔伯格说。“我不认为你应该只是把一个想法输入 ChatGPT，让它生成剧本，然后你就去拍那部电影而不使用真正的演员。但如果你能用它来增强你的工作效果，我完全支持。”

That said, Wahlberg made special mention of his belief that storytelling should remain at the heart of filmmaking. “I’ve done big, effects-driven movies,” Wahlberg said. “I think I was in that kind of sweet spot when the first Jurassic Park was made, or when Perfect Storm came out, and you had that wave, the 100-foot wave that was in the trailer. Those are cutting-edge moments in technology with computer-generated images. Now, I think it’s hard to do that, so I’m not so passionate about effects-driven movies per se, as opposed to real storytelling.”

话虽如此，沃尔伯格特别提到他认为讲故事仍应是电影制作的核心。“我拍过很多以特效为主的大片，”沃尔伯格说。“我想在第一部《侏罗纪公园》制作时，或者《完美风暴》上映时，我正处于那种黄金时期，预告片里有那道 100 英尺高的巨浪。那些是计算机生成图像技术的前沿时刻。现在，我认为很难再做到那样了，所以我对特效驱动的电影本身并没有那么热衷，相比之下，我更看重真正的叙事。”

When asked by TechCrunch Editor-in-Chief Connie Loizos whether he had visited the CAA Vault, a Creative Artists Agency facility which lets actors use scanning technology to capture their bodies, faces, movements, and voices to create AI replicas, Wahlberg said he hadn’t, but would be open to the idea. “I would be interested because I think in the future, if that’s where things go, it would be cool that my children or my grandchildren could be in charge of my likeness and my image, and hopefully put me in some good movies,” Wahlberg said.

当 TechCrunch 主编康妮·洛伊佐斯问及他是否参观过 CAA Vault（创新艺人经纪公司的一个设施，允许演员使用扫描技术捕捉身体、面部、动作和声音来创建人工智能复制品）时，沃尔伯格表示他还没有，但他对这个想法持开放态度。“我会感兴趣，因为我认为在未来，如果事情朝着那个方向发展，我的孩子或孙辈能够掌管我的肖像和形象，并希望让我出现在一些好电影中，那会很酷，”沃尔伯格说。

He even said he wouldn’t be opposed if his upcoming animated series, “Ted,” continued for decades with an AI version of his likeness. “I think it’s cool if I’m no longer able to do it or don’t exist, and if it could continue and people want to see it, I think it’d be interesting to see where things go,” Wahlberg said. “I think there’s certain things from my childhood that I wish still existed and were still a part of my life […] I wouldn’t be opposed to it. I think people are going to have massive opportunities to watch whatever it is they want, and if there’s a real audience for that, they should be entitled to have what they want to see.”

他甚至表示，如果他即将推出的动画系列《泰迪熊》能用他的人工智能形象持续数十年，他也不会反对。“如果我无法再参与或者已经不在了，但它能继续下去且人们想看，我觉得这很酷，看看事情会如何发展很有趣，”沃尔伯格说。“我想我童年时期有些东西我希望它们依然存在，依然是我生活的一部分……我不会反对。我认为人们将有巨大的机会去观看他们想看的任何内容，如果这有真正的受众，他们就有权看到他们想看的东西。”
