Actress Cate Blanchett said she worries that artificial intelligence (AI) could “totally replace” anyone and said it’s a much bigger problem than just how it will affect her career.
Speaking to the BBC, the 55-year-old actress admitted she’s “deeply concerned” about the technology and worried more “about the impact it’s going have on the average person” than her industry.
“I’m looking at these robots and driverless cars … and I don’t really know what that’s bringing anybody,” Blanchett said. “I’m worried about us as a species, it’s a much bigger problem.”
“You can totally replace … any person,” she added. “Forget whether they’re an actor or not, if you’ve recorded yourself … for three or four seconds your voice can be replicated.”
