Cate Blanchett voices concerns over AI's potential to replace actors

Cate Blanchett expressed serious concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in a recent interview. She stated that AI poses a "very real" threat, capable of replacing anyone, including actors, by replicating voices and appearances. While promoting her new film "Rumours," Blanchett emphasized her worries about AI's effects on society rather than her own career. She described advancements in AI as "experimentation for its own sake," highlighting both its creative potential and destructive consequences. In "Rumours," Blanchett plays a fictional German Chancellor at a G7 summit. The film explores the absurdity of political leaders, with the director intentionally avoiding real-world political references to allow audiences to interpret the characters freely.
