Runway CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela told attendees at last week's VIEW Conference in Turin that artificial intelligence could replace human actors, stating it is already happening in a way during the session titled Every Pixel Will Be Generated.
Nvidia executive Richard Kerris countered that spontaneous performances like Marlon Brando improvising with a cat in The Godfather could never be prompted, but Valenzuela replied that future models will likely allow directing AI actors in a very similar manner, according to The Rundown AI on X.
