Since the film revolves around the concepts of bad robots and good robots, Jennifer Lopez, when asked how she feels about the use of AI said, “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.”

Talking from personal experience, Jennifer Lopez said that she has seen ads “selling skincare that I know nothing about” using manipulated photos of her face covered in “wrinkles.” JLo said, “It’s really scary. Right away we had them stealing our faces. So, yes, [AI] is really scary.”

The actress-singer further explained, “I think you should be respectful of AI…We have to be open to all possibilities. These movies that are talking about AI — especially this one — do a really good job of showing both sides.”

Atlas also stars Sterling K Brown who plays a military officer fighting alongside Atlas. Talking about his experience working with JLo, he said that he was gobsmacked by Lopez’s work ethic. “Moguls be moguling,” he said. “She was talking earlier today about how she has brought down her level of commitment. I would have marvelled to see her at full tilt because it looked like it was full tilt when we were together. There was always something happening.”
