While live theater and physical presence on set remain human-centric, the occupation is highly exposed due to AI's ability to generate digital likenesses, synthesize voices, and replace background extras or voiceover artists. The core work product—audio and video—is increasingly susceptible to generative AI, leading to significant industry restructuring and potential displacement in digital media productions.
