Jodie Foster discusses how artificial intelligence is affecting filmmaking, pointing to Brad Pitt’s Apple film “F1” as an example. Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival in a conversation titled “Who Owns the Future of Hollywood” with former Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton, Foster said the movie felt like it was made with AI and “written by a computer.” Across outlets, she links her impression to the film’s highly conventional, formula-like structure, describing it as the type of storyline “you would learn in school.” Foster also says she does not raise the comment in a disparaging way, framing the use of AI as a growing reality in Hollywood. Some reports add that she encourages filmmakers to use AI positively. Several outlets further note that Foster references her own project, including how AI has been used to create dream sequences in her work “My Private Life,” while using “F1” to illustrate her broader point about machine assistance in production. The remarks focus on her perception of the film’s narrative design rather than on any confirmed information about how “F1” was created.
