Scarlett Johansson wary of AI ‘threat'
Scarlett Johansson doesn't think AI can replicate the 'soulfulness' of an actor or actress.
The 40-year-old movie star believes AI has a role to play in the long-term future of the film industry, but Scarlett doesn't think the technology can replace the emotional core of an actor or actress' performance.
She told The Sunday Times newspaper: 'I just don't believe the work I do can be done by AI. I don't believe the soulfulness of a performance can be replicated.'
Despite this, Scarlett believes AI poses a threat to society more broadly.
The Hollywood star explained: 'The bigger picture - about how we human beings, with fragile egos, can continue to have the trust that we have to have in one another, to continue as a society. It's a moral compass.
'We move around the world every day just knowing we have to trust in some basic reality that we all agree on. AI threatens the foundation of that, and that to me is very haunting.'
Scarlett began working in the film industry as a child, and she recently acknowledged that child stardom can be a 'dangerous thing'.
The actress - who made her film debut in North, the 1994 fantasy-comedy movie - thinks she was 'very fortunate' to come through child stardom unscathed.
Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine, Scarlett explained: 'Making decisions on your own - like, adult decisions as a kid - it's a dangerous thing, right?'
The Hollywood actress has seen other child stars struggle to cope with the pressures of fame and success.
But Scarlett is thankful that she 'dodged a lot of it'. She said: ' I lived through that and also was very fortunate that I dodged a lot of it.'
Scarlett starred alongside Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, the 2003 comedy-drama movie, and she now views the film as a turning point in her career.
She explained: 'After Lost in Translation, every role that I was offered for years was 'the girlfriend,' 'the other woman,' a sex object - I couldn't get out of the cycle.

Ryan Reynolds was fraught with nerves before Wrexham's historic promotion
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Ryan Reynolds was 'adult diaper nervous' before Wrexham's latest promotion. The Welsh football club made history earlier this year by becoming the first team in the English league system to win three consecutive promotions and the Deadpool actor - who co-owns the club with fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney - has revealed his fragile emotional state before the historic feat was achieved. Speaking in the finale of the fourth season of documentary Welcome to Wrexham, Ryan said: 'I feel very nervous, like, very very nervous. 'Like, adult diaper nervous.' Ryan's nerves came before Wrexham's promotion rivals Wycombe Wanderers lost 1-0 to Leyton Orient in April, which allowed the club to seal promotion to the Championship by beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 later that day. The 48-year-old star explained: 'That was the moment I think all of us, everybody, the entire town, went 'Holy s***, this could happen.

Khloe Kardashian felt ‘more confident' before weight loss
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Khloe Kardashian felt 'way more confident' before she lost weight. The 40-year-old reality star has opened up about her fitness journey and the public's reaction to her weight loss as she hit out at the 'gross' response from certain people. Speaking on her own Khloe in Wonder Land podcast, she told fitness influencer Whitney Simmons: 'The bigger I was, I was way more confident. 'I think because, like, what are going to say about me? I know all the things you're going to say. I would have my days that I would feel low and all of that. 'When I started my fitness journey and, like, becoming in shape, I felt such a need that I had to keep this up, like even if it wasn't for me. I felt like, 'Well, I can't get fat again, because everyone is expecting that to happen.' ' Instead, she found herself getting 'a different type of attention'. She added: 'It was also a different type of attention I was now receiving. 'And then once I got a little older, I was like, 'Wait, this is gross.' I hated that that's why I was getting more attention because I looked a certain way.' Khloe insisted she had the 'same amount of people' sending her abuse regardless of her weight. She explained: 'I've learned, no matter what, I'm never going to make people happy because I was once bigger, I was thinner, and I had the same amount of people, but from different ends. 'When I lost weight, I was 'a traitor to the bigger community'; I'm 'not myself'; I'm 'not funny anymore.' I'm 'not all the things' that I still am at my core. 'I just aesthetically look a little different, or a lot different, whatever you want to say.' Although she has been through lots of ups and downs in her own life, Khloe is determined to achieve something positive using her 'platform'. The star - who has daughter True, seven, and son Tatum, two, with her ex-partner Tristan Thompson - recently told PEOPLE magazine: 'I feel like I was given this opportunity, these platforms, for a reason. 'And it's really easy to sort of believe the hype and forget really where you came from and just believe the BS because so much of it is filler. 'We have to have some sort of core and heart and moral compass.'
