## Summary

Grimes will appear in the AI-generated sci-fi anthology *Gods Don’t Give Gifts*, lending the film both her likeness and voice. The project is billed as the first AI film to reach cinemas, making it a test of whether AI-made films can attract audiences and succeed commercially.

Directed by Jack London, who is known online as Gossip Goblin, the film is set for release on 4 December. Its four linked stories explore a future where bodies are disposable and consciousness is commoditised, themes that echo Grimes’ past interest in transhumanism and AI. Producer Fable says using performers’ likenesses alongside their vocal performances could become more common in AI animation, while earlier AI film experiments have yet to show that the technology is essential to storytelling.
