Tom Hanks comments on the prospect of AI recreating his voice for Woody in future Toy Story films. He describes the idea as “scary,” referring to how artificial intelligence could be used to generate a voice performance without his direct involvement. The comments come as interest continues to grow around AI tools that can mimic voices and audio performances, raising questions about how such technology might be used in film production and how performers and studios handle consent and creative control. Hanks’ reaction focuses on the personal discomfort he feels about the possibility that AI could reproduce his likeness in a way that bypasses the actor. While the reports center on his reaction, they do not indicate any confirmed studio plan for using AI to replace or emulate his voice. The statements nonetheless highlight ongoing debates in the entertainment industry about the use of voice-synthesis technology and the boundaries between digital recreation and performance by the original actor.
