Hollywood has entered its most transformative era since the transition to sound: the age of Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Production. Technologies like 'The Volume' (an immersive LED screen used in 'The Mandalorian') have replaced traditional green screens, allowing actors to see the digital environment they are acting in. Meanwhile, the use of AI to 'de-age' actors (as seen with Harrison Ford in 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny') or recreate the voices of deceased stars has sparked intense legal and ethical debates. In 2023, the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes were largely fought over these issues, marking the first time in history that Hollywood's labor force went on strike to protect their 'digital likenesses' from being replaced by algorithms.
