Demi Moore urged Hollywood to embrace artificial intelligence rather than resist it.
Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival jury press conference on Tuesday, Moore said that “AI is here” and the industry must “find ways we can work with it.”
He warned that fighting technology is “a battle we will lose.”
When asked if Hollywood is doing enough to regulate AI, Moore admitted, “I don’t know the answer to that. So I’d be inclined to say probably not.”
Moore, who last appeared at Cannes with his body horror hit The Substance, acknowledged both the promise and limitations of AI.
“There are beautiful aspects to being able to use it,” he said, but he emphasized that true art comes from the human spirit. “What it can never replace is where true art comes from…the soul.”
Moore is on the jury for this year’s Cannes competition alongside Park Chan Wook, Ruth Negga, Laura Wandel, Diego Céspedes, Isaach de Bankolé, Paul Laverty, Chloé Zhao and Stellan Skarsgård.
