Jennifer Lopez calls AI 'Really Scary' after experiencing fake skincare ads using her image

Jennifer Lopez has voiced her concerns about artificial intelligence (AI), calling it "really scary" after encountering manipulated ads using her image. These ads falsely promoted skincare products, showing her face covered in wrinkles, which she had no knowledge of. Lopez shared her experiences at the Los Angeles premiere of her new Netflix sci-fi action movie "Atlas."

In "Atlas," directed by Brad Peyton, Lopez plays a data analyst who relies on AI to save Earth from an evil robot, portrayed by Simu Liu.The movie explores both the potential dangers and benefits of AI. Lopez believes the film effectively highlights how AI can be both incredibly problematic and incredibly helpful.
Lopez emphasized the need to be cautious and respectful of AI. “Right away we had them stealing our faces. So, yes, [AI] is really scary,” she said. She acknowledged the importance of being open to the possibilities of AI, while also understanding the risks.
Sterling K. Brown, who co-stars with Lopez as a military officer in "Atlas," praised her dedication and work ethic. “Moguls be moguling,” he remarked, noting how Lopez manages her numerous commitments. Despite Lopez claiming to have reduced her workload, Brown was impressed by her constant activity on set. He shared that during breaks, they had interesting conversations, including stories about her time as a Fly Girl on the TV show "In Living Color" and her experiences with Rosie Perez.

"Atlas" has been a hit on Netflix, ranking among the top 10 most-watched movies over the Memorial Day weekend. The film's success and the discussions around it underscore the ongoing debates about the role of AI in society and the entertainment industry.
Jennifer Lopez's recent comments highlight the real-world implications of AI misuse, as well as the potential benefits depicted in her latest movie, "Atlas." Her experiences with fake ads using her image underscore the need for careful consideration and regulation of AI technologies.
