Zelda Williams, daughter of the late actor and comedian Robin Williams, has once again spoken out against artificial intelligence content that recreates her father’s likeness. The filmmaker, known for directing Lisa Frankenstein, took to X (formerly Twitter) to address a clip circulating online that some users claimed was a genuine private recording of the beloved star, who died in 2014.
Zelda dismissed the video as fabricated, arguing that it was clearly produced using AI technology rather than being an authentic recording. She went further, criticizing the quality of the fake, describing it as unconvincing and easy to spot as artificial. Her message underscored a growing frustration among the actor’s family over the use of his image and voice in digital content he never consented to create.
This isn’t the first time Zelda has pushed back against AI-generated tributes or recreations of her father. She has previously urged fans and social media users to stop producing and sharing such material, emphasizing that it disrespects his memory and misrepresents who he was. The incident reflects a broader debate about the ethics of using AI to resurrect deceased celebrities, especially without family approval.
