Pakistan, Oct. 2 -- Ben Affleck has revealed that artificial intelligence played a role in his upcoming thriller Animals. The actor and director said his team used AI for "lots of things" during the film's production.

Affleck discussed the technology while speaking about the changing film industry. However, he avoided explaining exactly how his team used AI in the movie. He compared those details to a magician revealing a trick before performing it.

The filmmaker called Animals "a very human movie" and described AI as an ethical filmmaking tool. He also said the industry has adopted many new technologies throughout its history. Moreover, Affleck does not think AI can create a movie people want from a simple written prompt.
