Demi Moore sparks debate with bold AI comments at Cannes 2026

Demi Moore has shared her honest take on the growing use of Artificial Intelligence in today’s modern world.

During a conversation at the Cannes Film Festival jury press conference on Tuesday, May 12, the 63-year-old actress urged Hollywood to fully embrace and incorporate AI instead of fighting against it.

"I think the reality is that to resist – I always feel that againstness breeds againstness. AI is here," Moore said.

She noted that trying to stop the technology is "a battle that we will lose."

When questioned about Hollywood’s efforts to regulate AI, the Ghost actress admitted that she believes the industry is "probably not" doing enough.

She also reflected on the evolving role of the technology, acknowledging both its advantages and limitations.

"There’s beautiful aspects to being able to utilize it. What it can never replace is what true art comes from … the soul," Moore shared, adding that genuine human creativity remains irreplaceable.
