The Sundance Film Festival this year has sparked significant discussion regarding the role of AI in filmmaking, particularly in relation to Oscar nominees like The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez. Dávíd Jancsó, editor of The Brutalist, revealed that AI voice-cloning software was used to correct Hungarian dialogue in the film. This raises questions about the integrity of performances when enhanced by AI, prompting comparisons to athletes using steroids. While the use of AI was minimal and consented to by actors, it challenges traditional notions of performance and authenticity in cinema.
"If you're coming from the Anglo-Saxon world certain sounds can be particularly hard to grasp. We were very careful about keeping their performances."
"Should a performance that was enhanced by AI really be awarded an Oscar, or is relying on AI... akin to an athlete taking steroids?"
