Deepika Padukone, one of Bollywood’s most recognisable stars, has ventured into artificial intelligence as the new voice of Meta AI across several countries.
Speaking at CNBC’s Global Leadership Summit, she called the collaboration an exciting new step and recalled how she was once mocked for the same voice early in her career.
At the event, Deepika shared, “When I entered the industry, people used to mock my voice and accent and now, ironically, I’ve become the voice of Meta AI! I’ve learned to own it, and perhaps that’s exactly why this happened.”
Speaking about artificial intelligence, she said, “I’m thrilled about its possibilities, but the one thing AI can never replace is human emotion. It can’t replicate how an actor feels or expresses, because you can’t infuse soul into AI.”
Deepika made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Om Shanti Om’, directed by Farah Khan, in 2007.
Deepika was last seen in ‘Singham Again’, directed by Rohit Shetty, alongside Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, and Tiger Shroff. The film hit theatres last year. She is currently working with Shah Rukh Khan on his upcoming film ‘King’ and will also feature in Atlee’s next project opposite Allu Arjun.
