That AI was used in the film in any form has sparked online outrage, with many suggesting it should disqualify it for awards consideration.

"The Brutalist" is the top favorite among bookmakers in the Oscar race, particularly in the most prestigious categories like Best Actor. However, the film's editor revealed that AI enhanced Adrien Brody's Hungarian accent,

"Adrien and Felicity’s performances are completely their own," says Corbet, after details emerged on how AI technology was used in the editing of the actors' scenes spoken in Hungarian.

Director Brady Corbet is defending the use of AI in “The Brutalist” after facing heavy backlash for utilizing the controversial tech to alter Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones' Hungarian dialect and to create certain images in the film’s ending.
