In a recent interview, actor Chris Pratt shared his perspective on the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the film industry. While some in Hollywood express concerns about AI's impact, Pratt views the technology as a tool that can enhance creativity and expand opportunities for filmmakers.
Pratt, known for his roles in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Jurassic World," has been actively exploring AI's potential. He mentioned dedicating time during makeup sessions to educate himself using various AI platforms, finding them to be "fantastic" and "amazing tools" that can accomplish a lot.
Addressing the challenges posed by new technologies, Pratt acknowledged the potential displacement of jobs within the film industry due to AI. He expressed empathy for those affected but emphasized the positive aspects, stating that AI could lead to more films and diverse storytelling by assisting in bringing creative visions to the screen.
Pratt's comments come ahead of the release of "Mercy," a science fiction thriller where he portrays Detective Chris Raven, who is tried by an AI judge for the murder of his wife. The film, directed by Timur Bekmambetov and co-starring Rebecca Ferguson, is set to hit theaters on January 23, 2026. (en.wikipedia.org)
While the film presents a dystopian view of AI in the justice system, Pratt's real-life perspective highlights a more optimistic outlook on AI's role in the creative process.
