Emily Blunt Says She Is ‘Terrified of AI’ and Refused to Use it on ‘Disclosure Day’

Emily Blunt stated on the podcast 'Hot Ones' that she is 'terrified' of AI and refused to use it for a vocalization in Steven Spielberg's upcoming film 'Disclosure Day.' According to her comments, she instead performed clicking, humming, and breathing sounds for the role herself. The remarks were made during a promotional interview for the film.

Blunt did not specify which scene required the vocalization or how the AI would have been used. 'Disclosure Day' is directed by Steven Spielberg and is expected to be released later this year. The actress has not previously publicly commented on AI in film production.

Her comments come amid broader industry debate about the use of AI in entertainment, including its impact on voice actors and other performers. While some productions have adopted AI for dubbing or background vocals, others face criticism from unions and artists concerned about job displacement. The extent of AI usage in 'Disclosure Day' has not been detailed by the studio.
