Cate Blanchett has told the BBC she is “deeply concerned” about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI).

Speaking on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the Australian actress said: “I’m looking at these robots and driverless cars and I don’t really know what that’s bringing anybody.”

Blanchett, 55, was promoting her new film Rumours – an apocalyptic comedy about a group of world leaders trapped in a forest.

“Our film looks like a sweet little documentary compared to what’s going on in the world,” she said.
