It Has Been A Long Time Coming,

but it appears that A1 powered robots are now becoming talented 'actors',

 as ‘b’, the world’s first film to feature an AI powered robot in the lead role was just announced, the upcoming film, 'b', which reportedly revolves around “a scientist who discovers dangers associated with a program he created to perfect human DNA and helps the artificially intelligent woman he designed (Erica) escape,” stars Erica, a humanoid robot powered by artificial intelligence, 

developed by Japanese scientists Hiroshi Ishiguro and Kohei Ogawa as part of their robotics studies, Erica was taught to act by applying the principles of method acting to artificial intelligence, “In other methods of acting, actors involve their own life experiences in the role,” Sam Khoze, a producer and writer on the film, told The Hollywood Reporter. “But Erica has no life experiences. She was created from scratch to play the role. We had to simulate her motions and emotions through one-on-one sessions, such as controlling the speed of her movements, talking through her feelings and coaching character development and body language.” the film has a budget of $70 million, so ‘b’ will likely not be some obscure short film done solely to tick the “world’s first film with an AI-powered lead” it will not be released until at least 2021, I wonder if it will be worth the wait?
