Cate Blanchett 'deeply concerned' by AI impact

The Australian actress says the threat of AI is "very real" as "you can totally replace anyone".

The actress, who has won two Oscars for her roles in The Aviator and Blue Jasmine, said she thought AI advancements were "experimentation for its own sake". The film's director, Guy Maddin, added that he intentionally does not reveal the ideologies or allegories of the characters because "there's an attempt when making sense of a movie for an audience to project on to it a message, a lesson, to find themselves in it". "They're not politicians for very long, the structures that make them world leaders evaporate incredibly quickly," Blanchet told the BBC.
