Hollywood is rebelling against A.I. actress Tilly Norwood for "stealing" valuable movie and TV roles from human actors and potentially competing for awards like Oscars or Emmys. And A.I. actors have overtaken online platforms like OnlyFans and Instagram. No surprises there, but inevitably, A.I. "personalities" and "professionals" will eventually infiltrate politics and governance and big business, displacing humans and raising the proverbial bar for all who try to follow in their career footsteps. Should there be guardrails in-place to prevent or control this evolution? Should humans see it as a challenge to better themselves to compete for future roles? Will these entities be granted some "rights" to achieve their purpose, as humans would have? Can Constitutional protections be applied to A.I. "citizens"? Inevitably, does the responsibility for our shared future (A.I. and humans co-existing) fall on us, now, to put the foundational order in-place or frame-up the boundaries and apply just measures to ensure respect and prosperity for all?
