Natasha Lyonne Talks ‘Uncanny Valley’ Directorial Debut, Use Of “Copyright-Clean” AI & Danger Of AGI

Part of Hollywood's cohort of ethical AI advocates, Natasha Lyonne is walking the talk with her upcoming feature directorial debut.

Ahead of the Season 2 premiere of Poker Face, returning May 8 with three episodes on Peacock, the 2x Golden Globe nominee told Deadline how she plans to utilize artificial intelligence in Uncanny Valley, in contrast from the “dirty model” on which the tech is often built. Last month, Lyonne joined Paul McCartney, Ava DuVernay, Taika Waititi, Cate Blanchett, Alfonso Cuarón, Lilly Wachowski, Ben Stiller and more than 400 entertainment industry professionals in urging the Trump administration to strengthen copyright rules against AI amid pressure from tech companies. The Poker Face star emphasized the “real problem” of data theft and fair use currently at play with tools like OpenAI and ChatGPT, as opposed to regulated forms of AI like the program she plans to use for Uncanny Valley.
