OpenAI’s new video generation tool, “Sora 2,” is igniting significant discussions, and Sean Astin is sharing his perspective on the A.I. turmoil it has caused.
We caught up with the actor recently, and he described this technology as a “tsunami” crashing into Hollywood. He believes it’s crucial for studios and executives to establish robust guidelines regarding A.I.’s involvement if they wish to continue collaborating with professionals like him.

Sean is not limiting his calls to action to just contracts; he urges for legislative measures as well. He believes that California could soon criminalize the unauthorized use of someone’s personal information.
He also shared his thoughts regarding the opt-out system, arguing that it functions more like an open invitation—allowing anyone to act freely without consequence, only for issues to be addressed once they’re discovered.
