Gal Gadot is publicly backing the use of AI in her upcoming film Bitcoin: Killing Satoshi, telling actors they need to adapt or risk being left behind. The comments come after her lawyers spent six months negotiating her contract to protect her performance.
The film and the AI question
Bitcoin: Killing Satoshi centers on the mystery of Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The production has drawn attention for its use of AI, though details on how the technology is applied remain scarce. Gadot's involvement has put her at the center of a debate that's been simmering across Hollywood.
Gadot's blunt advice
In a statement, Gadot said actors should "work with it or be out of the game." She didn't elaborate on the specifics of the film's AI use, but her tone was direct. It's a rare public endorsement from a major star, most of whom have been cautious about embracing the technology.
Six months of contract talks
Gadot's lawyers spent half a year negotiating her deal for the film. The focus, according to the actress, was protecting her performance. That's a long time for a contract, and it suggests the negotiations were tense. The final terms haven't been disclosed, but the length of the talks points to how carefully her team approached the AI elements.
A sign of the times
The negotiation is a reminder that actors are trying to carve out protections as studios experiment with AI. Gadot's willingness to work with the technology, after securing those protections, could set a tone for others. She's not fighting the trend—she's trying to shape how it applies to her.
Gadot's stance is clear: adapt or get left behind. The contract is done, and she's moving forward.
