September 27, 2024 at 2:00 AM "CHiPs" star Erik Estrada shared a warning about how artificial intelligence can "destroy lives." During an interview with Fox News Digital, the 75-year-old actor and "Divine Renovation" host acknowledged the benefits of AI but cautioned that the new technology is also frequently being used for nefarious purposes. "I think just like the Internet, just like the cell phones, just like everything — they need to just use the positive side of it," Estrada said. "The side which can help or employ and create goodwill, good things, good jobs, good fortune for people that want to go in that direction and not, of course, use the negative stuff." "CHiPs" star Erik Estrada warned about the dangers posed by AI. Estrada pointed to how AI can be used to create deepfakes — deceptive pictures, videos and audio that misrepresent people or events. While some deepfakes can be harmless, the technology can be used to carry out scams and identity theft, spread propaganda, damage careers and reputations and manipulate elections. "Divine Renovation's" second season, which Estrada described as "really heartwarming," was shot in Torrington, Connecticut. "It's a great, great season," he told Fox News Digital. "We got a segment with these dogs that are service dogs for people with PTSD. Incredible, incredible segment." "The Bold and the Beautiful" alum said another segment of the show was filmed at the FISH (Friends In Service To Humanity of Northwestern Connecticut) shelter. "We give them a new floor and some other adjustments, a renovation in the big house that they have," he said. "And then we put a flagpole out there because they just got a grant to be able to bring in veterans and house them and feed them. "So, we gave the veterans a pole so they can do their flag ceremonies. And the mayor comes out, and the whole thing is awesome. And then we do a thing with the police officer and his family because he has a son that has a major disability. "We fixed it up where we put a track from his bedroom into the bathroom so it just airlifts him into the bathroom. Made the bathroom bigger. Gave them a removable aluminum ramp outside so it would be convenient, they wouldn't have to go downstairs," he added. "So, it's a lot of this and a lot of that. And it's great." The second season of "Divine Renovation" is available to stream now on Amazon Prime, Roku, Tubi and other streaming platforms. While speaking with Fox News Digital, Estrada reflected on how he leans on his Christian faith to overcome hardships in his own life. The actor explained he finds solace and guidance by connecting to God through prayer. "I apologize for the mistakes I make and choices I've made and ask, 'Hey, please forgive me. I'll try not to do that again, and I'll try to get it right. But help me. I could use your help right now. It's wearing on me emotionally and mentally and causes me to lose sleep,'" Estrada said. "And I find out that talking to yourself, talking to your inner guide, to your inner self, is God anyway," he said. "So, it helps." The second season of "Divine Renovation" is available to stream now on Amazon Prime, Roku, Tubi and other streaming platforms.
