Martin Luther King Jr.’s Daughter Bernice King Backs Robin Williams’ Daughter’s Plea For Fans To Stop Creating Al Videos Of Late Stars

Dr. #BerniceKing is speaking out in support of Zelda Williams’ call for people to stop using artificial intelligence to recreate the likenesses of deceased public figures.

Responding to Zelda’s viral message about #AI-generated clips of her late father, Jumanji star #RobinWilliams, Dr. Bernice wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “I concur concerning my father. Please stop.” As the daughter of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Bernice has long advocated for the ethical use of her father’s image and words.

Zelda’s original message condemned the growing trend of #AI-generated videos that imitate her father’s voice and performance style, describing them as “gross” and disrespectful to his memory. “You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings,” she wrote. Dr. Bernice’s endorsement adds weight to the conversation, underscoring how AI misuse can affect families of cultural icons who are still working to preserve their loved ones’ true legacy.
