Gal Gadot takes a bold stand on AI amid new movie 'Bitcoin' controversy

Gal Gadot is justifying the use of artificial intelligence in her new movie Bitcoin and claimed that it is not going to affect her performance.

The Wonder Woman star is gearing up for another big-screen role in Doug Liman's controversial upcoming movie, which has taken help from AI to create sets and backgrounds as well as lighting.

Explaining the need to use AI in the film, Gadot said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, "This was the longest contract I have ever worked on."

She continued, "It was six months for my lawyers to go through every scenario we could think about as far as the AI component of it. I absolutely did not want the AI to have anything to do with my performance.

"We had to protect that, to such an extent that SAG called my lawyers to ask for pointers to update the SAG contract to protect other actors... As far as the performances, it's all me."

Though she admitted she is afraid of AI, she questioned, "I am going to be afraid and look away?" She bluntly added, "No."

"I am afraid and I am playing with it and learning it and trying to educate myself with it. I think that the train has left the station," she further shared, adding, "I am trying to make the best of it and protect whatever I can protect."

One of the benefits of using AI was that the crew didn't have to wait for a polished set for the next scene during filming.

"It felt like a pure art form of creating a movie," she shared. "Here, we would film non-stop because we didn't have to wait for lighting. We would film on and on and on for 10 hours. That was amazing."

A release date for Bitcoin has not been revealed yet.
