Join us for an unforgettable evening! www.socialsciencesinstitute.org/news/2025/8/...

Since 1913, the Gold Medal Gala has been a cherished tradition of the National Institute, celebrating individuals whose work has made a profound impact on society.

Each year, we gather to honor innovation, intellect, and integrity — the very qualities that move humanity forward.

Join us tomorrow night, as we discuss this very topic with top industry execs. www.socialsciencesinstitute.org/upcoming-eve...

Leading roles aren’t immune. AI can already generate realistic voices and performances. While audiences still crave authenticity, there’s a real possibility of studios leaning on “synthetic stars” for cost savings.

Background actors are most at risk. Instead of hiring hundreds of extras, studios can use AI-generated crowds. Once an extra is scanned, their likeness could be reused indefinitely, raising big questions about consent and pay.

Studios can now scan an actor’s face and body, creating a digital double that can be reused, altered, or even aged/de-aged for future projects. That means less need for reshoots but also fewer days on set for real actors.

Join us at The Players on 9/30 as we discuss the use of AI in the entertainment industry with top industry professionals.
