Robin Williams’ Daughter Breaks Silence on AI Videos Mimicking Her Father

The growing use of artificial intelligence to recreate famous voices and faces has ignited a heated debate in Hollywood — one that cuts to the heart of creativity and ethics.

The controversy resurfaced after Robin Williams’ daughter spoke out against AI-generated videos of her late father, calling them “disturbing” and disrespectful. The clips, widely circulated online, mimic the comedian’s voice and expressions nearly a decade after his death.

Her plea to “stop doing this” reflects a broader unease spreading through the entertainment industry, as AI begins to blur the boundaries between tribute and exploitation.

Hollywood unions like SAG-AFTRA have warned that using AI to reproduce actors’ likenesses without consent undermines both artistry and humanity.

The issue deepened with the debut of “Tilly Norwood,” an AI-generated performer marketed as a digital actor — a move that alarmed stars including Emily Blunt, who said the idea “takes away human connection.”
