<p>&#8220;Law &amp; Order SVU&#8221; star Ice-T says he&#8217;s not worried that an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/maybe-we-really-should-be-scared-to-death-of-artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Artificial Intelligence</a> (AI) version of himself could eventually take his place onscreen, continuing his character&#8217;s story arc in perpetuity.</p>
<p>Ice-T, born Tracy Lauren Marrow, already holds the record for playing the same character — Detective Odafin Tutuola on NBC’s &#8220;Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit&#8221; — on a primetime television series. That happened entirely by chance, <a href="https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/how-long-has-ice-t-been-on-law-order-svu#:~:text=Ice%20T%20has%20since%20appeared,longest%2Drunning%20female%20actor.)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he said</a> at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2022 — after a four-episode guest spot turned into a run that has lasted more than two decades and 500 episodes. Carrying on that role via AI would only extend his run.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think Ice-T could potentially act forever,&#8221; the actor referenced himself in the third person when talking to entertainment site <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/12/15/celebrity-news/ice-t-could-potentially-act-forever-with-ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a>. &#8220;I wouldn’t care. I think to say ‘no’ would be selfish. A future AI version of me would be better than me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ice-T spoke with journalists just before he was slated to host a book launch for &#8220;Our Planet Powered By AI,&#8221; by Mark Minevich — and despite the recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sag-aftra-actors-strike-ends-after-118-days-with-tentative-agreement-reached" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SAG-AFTRA strike</a> that centered on issues related to the use of AI in film, he argued that people should be ready to work with the technology rather than against it.</p>
<p>&#8220;I believe it’s coming and we need to just address it as it comes. There is nothing you can do,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;One of my favorite quotes from Quincy Jones is, &#8216;if you want to lose a fight, fight the future.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If you can’t beat them, join them. I am trying to read as much [as I can] to be involved as it grows,&#8221; he said, adding that the main concern for most people seemed to be that AI would take their livelihood.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think people are freaking because they think they are going to lose their jobs — but people can lose their jobs at any time,&#8221; he pointed out. &#8220;I don’t think people will lose jobs, they will have different jobs, we will become more computer-ish type people. When you imagine the future, you don’t imagine manual tasks, you imagine future s***.&#8221;</p>
