Olivia Williams says actors need ‘nudity rider’-type controls for AI body scans

Dune star says performers are regularly pressed to have bodies scanned on set with few rights over how data is used

• Have we done ourselves out of a job?': concerns in film and TV industry over on-set body scanning

Actors should have as much control over the data harvested from scans of their body as they do over nudity scenes, the actor Olivia Williams has said, amid heightened concern over artificial intelligence's impact on performers.

The star of Dune: Prophecy and The Crown said she and other actors were regularly pressed to have their bodies scanned by banks of cameras while on set, with few guarantees about how the data would be used or where it would end up.
