18 December 2023<\/time>\n<\/p>\nIce-T \u201cwouldn\u2019t care\u201d if his \u2018Law and Order\u2019 character was played by AI. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The rapper, 65, who has portrayed his beloved role of Detective Odafin Tutuola on NBC\u2019s \u2018Law and Order: Special Victims Unit\u2019 since 2000 and said artificial intelligence could lead to his part being immortalised forever.<\/p>\n
He told Page Six: \u201cI think Ice-T could potentially act forever. I wouldn\u2019t care. I think to say \u2018no\u2019 would be selfish. <\/p>\n
\u201cA future AI version of me would be better than me.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Ice, born Tracy Lauren Marrow, joked he would only start to \u201cworry\u201d about being replaced by an AI robot if it could make love. <\/p>\n
\nHe spoke about the tech ahead of hosting a book launch for Mark Minevich\u2019s \u2018Our Planet Powered By AI\u2019. <\/p>\n
\nHis run as the NYPD\u2019s Odafin Tutuola makes Ice the longest-running male series actor in history, according to Deadline. <\/p>\n
\nAI was a thorny issue during the recent SAG-AFTRA strike that bought Hollywood to a standstill, and there have been some protections put in place over the use of the technology in the entertainment business. <\/p>\n
\nIce added: \u201cI believe it\u2019s coming and we need to just address it as it comes. \u201cThere is nothing you can do. One of my favourite quotes from (music producer) Quincy Jones is, \u2018If you want to lose a fight, fight the future\u2019.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIf you can\u2019t beat them, join them. I am trying to read as much (as I can) to be involved as it grows. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI think people are freaking because they think they are going to lose their jobs \u2013 but people can lose their jobs at any time. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI don\u2019t 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\u2019t imagine manual tasks, you imagine future (stuff.)\u201d <\/p>\n
\nIce also reassured fans about his role on \u2018Law and Order\u2019: \u201cI\u2019m on till the wheels fall off.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
