## Summary

Sylvester Stallone has defended the use of artificial intelligence in filmmaking, saying it is “here to stay” and that the industry cannot stop its spread. He argued that filmmakers may be overwhelmed if they refuse to engage with the technology, while acknowledging that creative professionals have valid moral concerns.

Stallone cited his proposal to use AI de-ageing for a Rambo prequel, in which he hoped to play John Rambo at 18; studio bosses instead cast the younger Noah Centineo. On The Overlap, he also described wanting to combine human and AI performances, and pointed to the prospect of people selling their images for multiple digital avatars, including versions of Elvis. His comments come amid debate over AI in film, including Eli Roth’s admission that generative AI was used in a small portion of scenes in Ice Cream Man.
