Emily Blunt Shares Thoughts on AI and New Technology in Latest Movie “The Fall Guy”
Emily Blunt, known for her captivating performances on the big screen, is making headlines once again, but this time for her thoughts on artificial intelligence and new technology in the film industry. The actress, who recently attended the 96th Annual Academy Awards, is currently promoting her latest movie, The Fall Guy, alongside co-star Ryan Gosling.
In a recent interview with The Times, Blunt expressed her concerns about AI and its impact on the cinema industry. She highlighted the importance of the people working behind the scenes to bring a movie to life, emphasizing that every human touch is essential in the filmmaking process.
The conversation turned to a viral email from BBC discussing the possibility of substituting actors with computers, a topic that surprised Blunt and made her question the use of artificial intelligence in the industry. She pondered whether AI is truly for the greater good of cinema and people’s jobs.
The Fall Guy, the movie in which Blunt and Gosling star, focuses on practical stunts rather than relying on AI technology. Gosling shared that the film was made before the strikes and concerns about artificial intelligence, but its emphasis on practical stunts remains timely.
Blunt’s comments on AI and new technology echo her previous statements during the promotion of Oppenheimer, where she expressed her disdain for algorithms determining the success of art and content. Both Blunt and Gosling emphasized the importance of the film crew working tirelessly on set to make a cinematic production successful.
As the debate around artificial intelligence in the film industry continues, Blunt’s insights shed light on the potential impact of new technology on the creative process and the people behind the scenes.
