Actor Emily Blunt says she was “terrified” of artificial intelligence and chose not to use it during the production of Steven Spielberg’s upcoming sci-fi film “Disclosure Day.” Multiple outlets report that Blunt discussed avoiding AI for a key on-screen moment involving an extraterrestrial presence. In “Disclosure Day,” Blunt plays meteorologist Margaret Fairchild, a Kansas City TV weather anchor who is overcome by a mysterious alien force while taping a live broadcast. Several reports say the decision related to how the alien vocal sound was created, with Blunt describing an approach of making “weird” or “strange” sounds herself rather than relying on AI-generated audio. According to the accounts, Blunt considered using AI to produce or assist with the alien voice but ultimately refused, stating her fear of AI and opting for a more human-centered method on set. The film is directed by Spielberg and is scheduled for release by Universal Pictures.
