Harrison Ford, the iconic actor known for his roles in the Indiana Jones and Star Wars franchises, recently expressed his satisfaction with Troy Baker's portrayal of Indiana Jones in the video game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. In a discussion with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Ford humorously remarked, "You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it."

Released in December, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has been hailed as an "authentic" addition to the beloved series, though it may not be considered canonical. This comes in contrast to the latest film in the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which was released in 2023 and received a less enthusiastic response from audiences. Given the positive reception of the game, the creative minds behind the franchise might be encouraged to explore this new direction rather than bringing Ford back to don the iconic fedora.

Ford joins a chorus of industry figures critical of artificial intelligence in media. Notable peers like Tim Burton have described AI-generated art as "very disturbing," while Nicolas Cage has labeled it a "dead end." The use of AI has also sparked concerns among voice actors, with Ned Luke from Grand Theft Auto V publicly condemning a chatbot that utilized his voice without permission. Similarly, Doug Cockle, known for his role in The Witcher, acknowledged AI as "inevitable" but "dangerous," echoing Luke's sentiment that such technologies could "effectively rob [voice actors] of income."
