Deepika on lending her voice to AI

Besides making a fashion statement, the actress, who recently became the voice of Meta AI, shared a deeply personal reflection on her journey in the industry. “Interesting, isn’t it?” she said to CNBC-TV 18. “I’m someone whose voice was mocked when I came into the industry, and now I’m the voice of Meta AI. Strange… and my accent too. But I continued to own it. And I think that’s how and why it happened.”

Deepika on AI in the film industry

The actor, also weighed in on AI’s influence in the film industry. “I’m so excited about the possibilities,” she said. Sharing the reason for her excitement, she said, “The only thing I think it cannot replace is human emotion. I think that’s the only place AI will not be allowed or not match up.”She elaborated “Can AI do a similar job? Yes, maybe. Barring human emotion and how an actor would emote. Because you can’t infuse soul into AI. I’m all for something that is new and forward and all that. Just when it comes to the human soul and emotion, I have a feeling that’s irreplaceable. But outside of that, I’m very excited about what the possibilities are.”

Deepika’s film slate

On the work front, Deepika will be seen in the upcoming action movie ‘King’. The actress will reunite with Shah Rukh Khan for another action packed film after working together on 2023’s biggest hits ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’.She is also shooting for an upcoming film with director Atlee, tentatively titled AA22 x A6.
