It has been confirmed by The Brutalist’s editor Dávid Jancsó that AI was used in the film to enhance the Hungarian language performed by stars Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones, and to create drawings and buildings seen in the Venice Biennale sequence.

It is perhaps this return to the cinematic spectacle of the mid-20th century that has made some view The Brutalist ’s use of an AI speech-enhancing software as some sort of betrayal to the craft and not as another tool available to filmmakers to enhance the impact and credibility of their storytelling.
