Keanu Reeves is opening up about what he thinks of DeepFake and AI technologies. The Matrix star is opposed to tech that he even added a clause in his contract so editors don’t manipulate his performance.

And then what’s going to be pushed on us? What’s going to be presented to us? It’s this sensorium. It’s spectacle. And it’s a system of control and manipulation.
