  "account": "Gal Gadot confidently accepts her role in Doug Liman's AI-powered film Bitcoin, despite having apprehensions about the technology. In an interview on Josh Horowitz's podcast Happy Sad Confused, she confessed, \"I am afraid of AI, but I am going to be afraid and look away? No. I am afraid. But I am playing with it and learning it and trying to educate myself. The train has left the station. You’re going to work with it or be out of the game completely.\" Co-starring alongside Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson, and Isla Fisher, Bitcoin was filmed on an empty stage, utilizing AI for production design and lighting. Gadot emphasized that AI played no role in her acting work, as her and her lawyers underwent a six-month contract review to prevent AI interference. This extensive process reportedly caught the attention of the Screen Actors Guild, who sought their insights for updating the existing SAG contract. Although Gadot does not appear to be an AI advocate, she acknowledges her determination to capitalize on the situation while safeguarding her performance. She appreciated the minimalist production process, which allowed for nonstop filming and made the movie-making experience feel like a \"pure art form of creating a movie.\" Gadot's previous leading role was in the live-action Snow White remake, which did not meet expectations. Her next appearance will be in the Prime Video action film The Runner.",
