“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin has licensed her name and likeness to the AI startup Fountain 0, becoming one of the most high-profile figures to provide her image for use in AI-generated films and television shows.

The agreement allows the company, which has produced the AI-generated films “Dreams of Violets” and the “Odyssey” adaptation “Odysseus: The Fall,” to produce adaptations of her novels. Those films may include Hostin’s own image, the use of which the company said Hostin will control.
