Singer Grimes to Debut in a Feature Film Made Entirely With AI

Canadian singer Grimes, who is also the former wife of Elon Musk, will make her feature film debut in a movie created entirely with artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The film is Gods Don’t Give Gifts, an anthology of science fiction short films that AI studio Fable will release on 4 December. The project arrives while many representatives of the creative industries are rejecting AI in artistic work.

Image and voice for the film

The artist has given permission for her image and voice to be used in the film. It is being promoted as the first fully AI-generated feature-length film, intended to be shown on the big screens of cinemas.

A new album

Alongside the film, Grimes has begun promoting her upcoming album, Psy Opera. She names artificial intelligence as the main source of inspiration for that record too.

Against the prevailing mood

While several voices in the creative sectors loudly criticise the arrival of AI in artistic creation and point to its lack of authenticity, Grimes has embraced the new technology openly. Her approach makes her one of the first musicians to take part in a film made entirely with the help of AI.
