Scarlett Johansson wary of AI 'threat'

Scarlett Johansson doesn't think AI can replicate the "soulfulness" of an actor. The 40-year-old movie star believes AI has a role to play in the long-term future of the film industry, but doesn't think the technology can replace the emotional core of an actor's performance. "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," she told The Sunday Times newspaper. However, Johansson believes AI poses a threat to society more broadly. "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." Johansson began working in the film industry as a child, and recently acknowledged that child stardom can be a "dangerous thing". The actor - who made her film debut in North, the 1994 fantasy-comedy movie - thinks she was "very fortunate" to come through child stardom unscathed. "Making decisions on your own - like, adult decisions as a kid - it's a dangerous thing, right?" she told Vanity Fair magazine. She has seen other child stars struggle to cope with the pressures of fame and success. "I lived through that and also was very fortunate that I dodged a lot of it." Johansson starred alongside Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, the 2003 comedy drama, and now views the film as a turning point in her career. "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. "It sort of felt like, 'Oh, I guess this is my identity now as an actor.' There wasn't much I could do with that." Scarlett Johansson doesn't think AI can replicate the "soulfulness" of an actor.
