Jennifer Lopez, who stars in the Netflix Sci-Fi film Atlas, shared her thoughts on AI at the Los Angeles premiere of the movie. In Atlas, Lopez plays a data analyst who must rely on AI to save Earth from an evil robot. She believes the film does a good job of highlighting the potential dangers and benefits of AI.
Lopez expressed her concerns about AI, citing experiences where she felt her face was used without her consent in skincare ads and manipulated photos. She finds AI to be “really scary” based on these encounters. Despite this fear, she believes it is important to respect AI and be open to the possibilities it presents.
The film Atlas is now available for streaming on Netflix. The fear of AI taking over jobs in various industries, including Hollywood, is a common concern. However, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos believes in the unique value that humans bring to creative projects and does not see AI as a threat to job security in the entertainment industry.
Recent controversies in Hollywood, such as the feud between OpenAI and Scarlett Johansson over the use of her voice in an AI model, have also raised concerns about AI ethics. Despite these issues, Lopez believes that exploring both the positive and negative aspects of AI in films like Atlas can help us better understand and navigate the technology’s potential impact on society.
Lopez’s experience with using facial recognition technology has led her to be cautious when it comes to relying too heavily on artificial intelligence (AI). However, she also recognizes its potential benefits.
Atlas explores themes of artificial intelligence and its impact on society. As a character who relies on technology to save humanity from an evil robot, Lopez sees firsthand how powerful these tools can be for good or bad.
“I think it’s important for us as a society to have conversations about these things,” said Lopez at the premiere.
“We need to acknowledge both the positive and negative aspects of technology so that we can make informed decisions about how we use them.”
