The film 'The Brutalist' is embroiled in controversy over its use of generative AI during post-production, raising questions about its eligibility for an Oscar. Director Brady Cohen revealed that AI was utilized to enhance audio and create accurate Hungarian dialects for actors Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones. Editor Dávid Jancsó noted the technology helped produce architectural drawings due to budget constraints. Despite the intention to improve authenticity, the film's reliance on AI is viewed skeptically amid ongoing debates on AI’s role in creative industries, especially following recent Hollywood protests.
