Speaking at a Cannes Film Festival jury press conference, actor Demi Moore says artificial intelligence is already part of filmmaking and that Hollywood should “find ways” to work with it rather than oppose it. Multiple outlets report that Moore frames resistance as a “losing battle,” using phrasing such as “to fight it is to fight” a battle that the industry will likely lose. She also indicates that while AI can affect how movies are made, it does not replace what she describes as human “true art.”

When asked about AI’s impact on the movie business and whether additional regulation is needed, Moore’s remarks reflect both acceptance of the technology and concern about governance. Sources describe her as saying Hollywood should collaborate with AI “not fight it,” while also suggesting that regulation is an open issue. One outlet also reports that her comments drew backlash, though the underlying substance across reports is that she urges adaptation. Overall, Moore’s position centers on working with AI now, rather than treating it solely as something to block or avoid.
