Ben Affleck Says AI Was Used in New Film ‘Animals’ but Keeps Details Secret

Ben Affleck says artificial intelligence was used for several parts of his upcoming Netflix film, Animals, but he will not reveal exactly where it appears. He said explaining the techniques could spoil the illusion filmmakers try to create for audiences. The actor and director said the technology was mainly used during post-production to speed up certain tasks. He stressed that Animals is a human drama rather than a visual-effects-heavy science-fiction film. Affleck plays Los Angeles mayoral candidate Mark Kimball, whose son is kidnapped, while Kerry Washington plays his wife. The film is scheduled for release on October 9. He also argued that AI should be brought into Hollywood under agreements that protect writers, performers and other creative workers.
