Adrien Brody opened up at the Red Sea Film Festival that artificial intelligence could never capture the emotions that actors bring to a role.

The two-time Oscar winner reflected on his work in The Brutalist, a film that sparked debate for its use of AI.

The 52-year-old actor said the heart of storytelling remains human, while AI works for the vision.

Brody continued explaining that technology can offer new tools for filmmakers but it cannot replace the depth and honesty that come from human experiences.

However, the Pianist actor further said that actors carry a responsibility to bring authenticity to every performance and no machine can ever replicate that connection.

“Even if you can fabricate it or whatever, we really should always cherish and support the creative process and the beauty of filmmaking,” he added.

The actor also highlighted the choices artists have in embracing technology.

Moreover, filming The Brutalist took just 23 days, and Brody said he focused completely on his performance himself and remained dedicated.

While addressing about his social skills, he shared that he avoided spending time socially with cast and crew during emotional scenes to protect the energy needed for his work.

Brody also admitted that acting can be unpredictable and some days are more challenging than others but performers must stay present and give their best.

Describing acting as a process, the actor shared that it requires discipline, focus and emotional availability.

He also spoke about his enduring passion for storytelling, and working with renowned directors and co-stars, Brody said he continues to love acting and to create an environment where others can shine.
