Tom Cruise says advances in artificial intelligence are coming and will affect filmmaking, but he believes cinema will not disappear. Speaking in London at a career retrospective event, he argues that audiences still want to experience “real things” on screen.
Both outlets report that Cruise frames AI as an industry reality rather than an immediate end point. He reflects on his decades-long career, with references to well-known roles, while emphasizing that filmmakers should continue creating. The accounts share the same core message—AI will happen, but viewer demand for authenticity will help sustain traditional moviegoing—while focusing mainly on his comments and the setting of the discussion rather than specific predictions about regulation or technology.
