KARACHI: Pakistani actor Ahad Raza Mir has stirred discussion in the entertainment industry with his recent remarks about the future of acting and artificial intelligence, saying that in the coming years he might “sell [Ahad Raza Mir] face to AI,” predicting that his digital likeness could appear in multiple projects annually.
Speaking during an interview about the evolution of the television industry and the growing influence of technology, Ahad humorously reflected on how AI and digital avatars could reshape performance and production in the coming decade.
“At this rate, maybe I won’t even have to act anymore,” he joked. “In a few years, I’ll sell my face to AI — and you’ll see 10 dramas from me every year without me stepping on set.”
The actor, known for acclaimed performances in dramas such as Yakeen Ka Safar and Ehd-e-Wafa, added that while artificial intelligence could make entertainment more efficient, it also raises important questions about authenticity, creativity, and ownership in the arts.
Industry insiders have taken his remarks as both a lighthearted comment and a thought-provoking statement about how technology may transform Pakistan’s media landscape.
Fans on social media reacted with amusement and curiosity, debating the possibilities of AI-generated performances and how such innovations might change the face of acting in the near future.
