Former actress Joey Wong has spoken out on the use of her likeness in an AI-generated game trailer, defending her decision to license her image. Wong appeared as a digital fox spirit in the official trailer for fantasy game Tian Xia's 18th anniversary, sparking debate over AI in showbiz. She stated, "We are using AI, not being used by AI," expressing hope to connect with younger gamers through this opportunity.
Wong, known for her role in A Chinese Ghost Story, retired from showbiz in 2004 to move to Canada, where she now runs a moxibustion therapy centre. She encouraged the public to embrace emerging technologies while reminding them to decide how to use them. Other actors, such as Lawrence Ng and Tony Leung, have also weighed in on the issue, with Leung describing AI as a "double-edged sword" that could lead to job losses due to a lack of creativity.
