Keanu Reeves talks going into ‘deepfake land’: ‘That’s scary’

Keanu Reeves commented in a new interview on the deepfake trend, saying he thinks the concept is "scary."

"What’s frustrating about that is you lose your agency," Reeves told the magazine. "When you give a performance in a film, you know you’re going to be edited, but you’re participating in that. If you go into deepfake land, it has none of your points of view. That’s scary." 

He continued, "It’s going to be interesting to see how humans deal with these technologies. They’re having such cultural, sociological impacts, and the species is being studied. There’s so much ‘data’ on behaviors now. Technologies are finding places in our education, in our medicine, in our entertainment, in our politics, and how we war and how we work."

It was revealed in the interview that "The Matrix" star has a clause in his contract saying that his performances cannot be manipulated without his approval.
