Scarlett Johansson doesn't think AI can replicate the 'soulfulness' of an actor or actress
Movie star Scarlett Johansson has warned of the potential dangers of AI.
Scarlett Johansson doesn't think AI can replicate the "soulfulness" of an actor or actress.
The 40-year-old movie star believes AI has a role to play in the long-term future of the film industry, but Scarlett doesn't think the technology can replace the emotional core of an actor or actress' performance.
She told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I just don't believe the work I do can be done by AI. I don't believe the soulfulness of a performance can be replicated."
Despite this, Scarlett believes AI poses a threat to society more broadly.
The Hollywood star explained: "The bigger picture - about how we human beings, with fragile egos, can continue to have the trust that we have to have in one another, to continue as a society. It's a moral compass.
"We move around the world every day just knowing we have to trust in some basic reality that we all agree on. AI threatens the foundation of that, and that to me is very haunting."
