The email that Charisma recieved from Largo.ai was for the “100 Actors Program”, which uses artificial intelligence to connect actors with auditions that they would seem fit for.

Largo.ai says that it “will automatically suggest matching characters to producers/directors” and “you won’t be charged any commission for the roles you secure,” Deadline says.

“Welp, AI is coming for Casting Directors, Agents and Managers too,” Charisma posted. “Seen as intermediaries.’ AI protections across the board! ✊”

While speaking with the outlet, Charisma says that she find that process “ridiculous”.

“They may take data and statistics and spit out a formula that says this person is right for this part, but there’s no foresight,” she said. “AI doesn’t know me, they don’t know the richness of my soul. They don’t know my life experiences. They don’t know the books I’ve read. They’ve never had those conversations with me to glean how right I am for a part that maybe data would not foresee.”

Charisma added, “I have had wonderful casting directors that have brought me back time and time again to get me employed. I really am hard pressed to see what the advantage is to actors going this route.”
