Actor Abhishek Bachchan has given his opinion about AI (Artificial Intelligence) as to how it can be “detrimental for actors”. Speaking at the ET NOW Global Business Summit 2026, Abhishek said that AI scares him, adding that he isn’t very comfortable with it.
Abhishek Bachchan says AI scares him
Abhishek said that AI should be used responsibly. “AI scares me. It should scare every actor. In the creative field, AI is going to revolutionise a lot of stuff. If not used responsibly, it can be detrimental for actors. Behind the scenes, it can be beneficial for animation, special effects and more. It is going to reduce a lot of working hours that we spend, and your budget may come down. From a creative perspective, I have seen multiple products that are AI-generated. They are wonderful, but there’s no soul. There’s an imperfection to humanity,” said Abhishek.
Abhishek isn’t very comfortable with AI
The actor added that AI might impact several fields. “I think there’s going to be a lot of disruption in the medical and legal fields, especially with AI. As far as the creative and films are concerned, I am going to be off the fence about whether it is going to be beneficial or not. I don’t have a complete grasp of the AI landscape, so I am not very comfortable with it. I learn and read a lot about it,” he added.
Abhishek’s recent AI video
In the last few months, much AI content has emerged on social media platforms. Abhishek’s remark comes a few weeks after his fans presented him via AI avatars in an animated video of the song Just a Boy by DrINsaNE. It featured the actor in some of his iconic roles in films such as Guru, Bluffmaster, Dasvi, and Dhoom.
