AI’s Growing Role in Hollywood: Enhancing Performances or Crossing Ethical Lines?

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in Hollywood is sparking significant debate, particularly concerning its role in refining actors’ performances. Recent films like The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez have utilized AI to enhance dialogue and singing, respectively.

In The Brutalist, actors Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones worked extensively with a dialect coach to perfect their Hungarian accents. However, to achieve flawless pronunciation, the filmmakers employed Respeecher, an AI tool, to fine-tune specific vowels and letters in the actors’ Hungarian dialogue.

In Emilia Pérez, AI was used to blend lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón’s singing voice with that of French pop star Camille, thereby extending Gascón’s vocal range.

Why It Matters: As AI becomes more integrated into filmmaking, it’s essential to examine its impact on the authenticity of performances and the recognition of actors’ work. Striking a balance between leveraging technology for enhancement and preserving artistic integrity is crucial for the future of the industry.
