There was a playful exchange about his possible death in the future, where he assured that his law firm will still be active, illustrating his serious stance on protecting his image.
Downey Jr. highlighted the importance of the human element in AI integration within Hollywood, stating, 'It always comes down to not the technology or the opportunity to line my pockets as much as, Who are the people involved with this?' This shows his focus on ethical considerations and relationships over mere financial gain when it comes to AI in entertainment.
Addressing his confidence in Marvel's practices, Downey Jr. expressed, 'I am not worried about them hijacking my character's soul because there's like three or four guys and gals who make all the decisions there anyway.' This comment reflects his trust in the integrity of the Marvel leadership and their respect for his legacy.
After winning an Oscar for his role in Oppenheimer, Downey Jr. indicated his concern was more about emotional depth than technology, stating, 'I have an actual emotional life that's occurring that doesn't have a lot of room for that.'
