Jennifer Lopez entered the AI controversy conversation at her recent movie premiere.
The actress’s latest film, Atlas, delves into the realm of artificial intelligence. In the movie, 54-year-old Lopez portrays a data analyst who must depend on cutting-edge technology to safeguard humanity from an evil robot.
“I think this movie does a good job of showing how AI could go incredibly wrong, and this is how it could go really right,” Lopez told Variety at the film’s Los Angeles premiere.
She went on to say how the technology affected her personally. The Marry Me actress explained how she’s seen ads using digitally manipulated photos of her face with “wrinkles” to sell “skincare that I know nothing about.”

“It’s really scary,” she continued. “Right away we had them stealing our faces. So, yes, [AI] is really scary.”
However, she is “open to all possibilities” of the good AI can do.
“These movies that are talking about AI — especially this one — do a really good job of showing both sides,” the “On The Floor” singer said.
In the film, she stars alongside actors Simu Liu and Sterling Knight. The movie premiered on Netflix on Friday, May 24.
Just two days later, the actress went to social media to celebrate the movie’s success. “Play with fire and you’ll get burned 🔥 #1 MOVIE GLOBALLY #ATLAS #Netflix💥,” she wrote via Instagram, alongside a sneak peek scene from the movie.
During a press conference to promote the film in Mexico City on Wednesday, May 22, Lopez was asked by a reporter about the rumors involving her relationship with her husband Ben Affleck. Multiple sources have revealed that their marriage is on the rocks and that they are currently living in separate houses.
“Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? These rumors?” the reporter asked. “What is the truth? What is the truth of the situation?”
Co-star Liu chimed in to say, “Okay, we’re not doing that,” while Lopez responded, “You know better than that.”
