Video Game Developers and Movie Makers Are Already Resurrecting Actors

CD Project Red, the Polish video game developer behind Cyberpunk 2077 recently used voice cloning technology offered by a company called Respeecher to create new lines for the now-deceased Polish voice actor Miłogost Reczek. Those lines were then included as part of the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty Expansion. Major film studios have also deployed AI cloning and deepfake technology to reconstruct the likeness of dead actors and insert them into films. For anyone unaware of the technology being used, this process can create the illusion of characters or start living on indefinitely.
