Glenn Close acknowledged the changing landscape of the entertainment industry during a stop in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival.
The Academy Award-nominated actress has been working hard to keep her "balance" recently, ahead of celebrating Sundance Institute icon Michelle Satter.
"I'm lucky enough to have a job," Close told The Hollywood Reporter . "There have been a lot of people in Los Angeles who have been affected and then now by the fires. I'm surprised at how little work is done in our profession. I'm a big reader of history, and unfortunately I don't think enough people in this country understand the history as well. Something we just got into.
"The bottom line is (artificial intelligence). It's going to be what is the truth? Truth is a big question."

Close told the outlet that she recently finished reading Yuval Noah Harari's novel "Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI," and that she found a book more terrifying than any I've ever read. "
When asked about her explanation for AI, Close said: "It depends on how it's processed."
"I don't want my image or my voice to be rebuilt," she noted. "I mean, people need jobs. It's a sad predicament."

Nervous Thoughts: “Is there less progress because of doing this? I don’t know. I think we lose a place like Sundance, and where what Michelle did was so important — a story about what it means to do one person.
"We have to keep coming back and be inspired by the things that teach us, things that help us stay emotionally informed about what it means to be human and (always) look into someone else's eyes - not a screen - but into the eyes of another person my eyes.

Close isn't the only star to question the use of artificial intelligence in Hollywood of late.
"I don't want my image or my voice to be rebuilt. I mean, people need jobs. It's a sad dilemma."

Last year, Nicolas Cage warned actors of the need to control their images amid the rise in the popularity of artificial intelligence.
"There's a new technology in town. It's a technology that's only the last 42 years. But these 10 young actors, of this generation for sure, they're calling it "ebdr." This technology wants to make you of musical instruments as film actors.
EBDR stands for "Employment-Based Digital Replica," one of two digital replicas being settled by actors union SAG-AFTRA and Studios following last year's twin strikes.

Depending on the rules in the contract, "EBDR is eBDR in connection with your work on the film," which may require things like scanning actors' bodies. Compensation is based on the extent to which the performer personally works on the scene in which the digital reproduction is used, and the performer is entitled to residuals from the appearance of his or her reproduction in the finished product.
"Studios want this so they can change your face after they've already filmed it - they can change your face, they can change your voice, they can change your boundaries, they can change your body language, they can change your body language Show,” Cage warns.

"I ask you, if you are approached by a studio to sign a contract that allows them to use EBDR on your performance, I want you to consider what I call 'mvmfmbmi' - my voice, my face, my body, my Imagination - My performance is to protect your instrument."
Robert Downey Jr. admits he plans to sue if his likeness is used alongside AI, while Ben Affleck thinks movies will be the last thing going for artificial intelligence.

"AI can give you a brilliant parody of scripture that sounds like Queen Elizabeth, but it can't write to Shakespeare," Affleck said at CNBC's Delivering Alpha 2024 Investor Summit. "You have two actors or three in a room. The ability of one or four actors to discern and construct flavor, which is currently completely eluded by artificial intelligence, I think will be there for a meaningful period of time.”
He added: "What AI will do is take away the harder, less creative, more expensive aspects of filmmaking, it will make the cost lower, it will lower the barrier to entry, it will allow more voices to be heard, it will will make it easier for people who want to make 'Good Will Hunting' Go out and do it.
