Tom Hanks is talking about AI technology that could potentially make it possible for him to continue appearing in new films even after his death.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Death is no longer the end of an actor’s career, Tom Hanks theorized during a recent conversation on “The Adam Buxton Podcast” (via BBC). Why?
