Actress Gal Gadot has defended her involvement in an upcoming film that utilizes artificial intelligence for its sets and lighting design. During an appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Gadot discussed her role in director Doug Liman’s project “Bitcoin,” which has sparked debate within the entertainment industry over its use of AI technology in production.
Gadot emphasized that her performance and likeness were fully protected throughout the filmmaking process. Legal representatives spent approximately six months reviewing contracts and protocols to ensure artificial intelligence would not be applied to any aspect of the actors’ work. The actress stressed that all on-screen performances were entirely her own, without any digital alteration or AI involvement.
The star acknowledged her concerns about artificial intelligence while advocating for engagement with the technology rather than resistance. Gadot argued that the entertainment industry must adapt to new tools or risk becoming obsolete. She noted that the AI application on this particular production was limited to environmental elements and lighting, while the crew remained large and actively involved in the filmmaking process.
Gadot compared the shooting experience to theater work, as actors performed in a minimal warehouse setting without waiting for traditional lighting setups. She characterized the approach as a return to pure filmmaking artistry, allowing for continuous filming without the standard production delays actors typically encounter on conventional film sets.
