Jodie Foster<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n During a candid speech at the Aspen Festival of Ideas, the Oscar-winning actress sparked debate after pointing out Brad Pitt<\/a><\/strong>Hit racing drama F1 as an example of filmmaking that felt shaped by artificial intelligence. <\/p>\n While praising the film’s commercial success, Foster questioned the approach to storytelling, sparking a broader conversation about the rapidly expanding role of technology in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n Speaking to former Sony executive Michael Linton, Jodie Foster discussed how artificial intelligence is changing modern filmmaking.<\/p>\n When the conversation turned to the growing influence of artificial intelligence, Foster singled out one of the biggest box-office successes of the past year: Pitt’s F1.<\/p>\n “I’m not saying that disparagingly, how could I? That movie made millions of dollars, but you look at a movie like F1 and I think F1 was made by artificial intelligence,” she said, according to Diversity<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Foster also added, “Isn’t it? I mean, the structure was exactly the structure you learn in school.”<\/p>\n The actress went on to explain that it wasn’t the technology behind the visual effects that caught her attention, but the film’s narrative and dialogue.<\/p>\n She claimed that the cast performed “the lines exactly as they would have been written if a computer had written exactly what would be correct for the time”.<\/p>\n Foster added that the filmmakers “were able to dominate the technology to make something big and beautiful where a lot of information comes from other places.”<\/p>\n![\"Jodie](\"https:\/\/media.theblast.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=543,fit=crop,quality=75,gravity=auto,metadata=none,format=auto,onerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/jodie-foster-768x543.jpg\")
