The Oscar winner wants fewer AI "actors" onscreen and more undiscovered human talent. "There's so many actors already, who have given themselves over to an AI company, and that's everyone's choice," she said. "But I like going to the theater and seeing real people talk."
She also likes knowing nothing about the actors she watches. "I don't wanna know who they're sleeping with, what they wore, what they drink in the morning, how they keep their figure," she said. "I wanna be taken away and see a character, and that has happened for years."
The Kill Jackie star's comments land amid ongoing concerns about AI plagiarizing copyrighted material and threatening jobs in Hollywood and beyond. People working in AI have also warned that continued progress could "cause a billion deaths."
Officials disagree on what to do about it. California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order last month to fast-track stringent oversight of AI. It convenes "a group of world-leading experts" within 60 days to discuss "safety plans" and "an emergency shutoff, or 'kill switch,' for frontier models." Trump has brushed off the concerns as "a hoax," insisting the U.S. Government "already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power" over AI companies.
