Dame Judi Dench, John Cena and Awkwafina will voice Meta AI, an artificial intelligence developed by Meta, the owner of Instagram and Facebook.
As part of an update to the Llama model, people will be able to interact with Meta AI, the company’s ChatGPT-like chatbot, and talk to celebrities to get responses.
Frozen star Kristen Bell and comedian Keegan-Michael Key are also among the nominees.
At Meta’s annual Connect conference, CEO Mark Zuckerberg also unveiled Orion smart glasses, which he described as “the most advanced pair of glasses the world has ever seen.”
In addition to Orion, he also showed off an update to Meta’s smart glasses, developed in collaboration with Ray-Ban, that will enable live translation.
While wearing it, Zuckerberg spoke to Mexican fighter Brandon Moreno in English, and Moreno responded in Spanish, with the conversation being translated in real time.

People can also dub their videos into another language to make it appear as though they are speaking in their native language, and even change the lip movements to make it appear as though they are speaking in their native language.
“We are building a future that is more open, more accessible, more natural and more focused on human connection,” Zuckerberg said.
“This is a continuation of the values and ideas we brought to the apps and technology we built over Meta’s first 20 years.”
The AI update for influencers will allow them to create AI versions of themselves and interact with their fans.

Meta AI currently has 500 million users, according to the company.
Jeremy Goldman of research firm eMarketer called the figures “staggering.”
“Meta has transformed from just a social media company into a leading AI company,” he said.
“Zuckerberg’s use of celebrity voices isn’t just for fun, it’s a direct challenge to OpenAI that focuses on real-world utility.”
“Meta is aggressively undercutting Apple’s Vision Pro in its bid to dominate the mid-range AR/VR market.”
The VR goggles, which were launched to much anticipation earlier this year, cost $3,500 (£2,600).
