Demi Moore Urges Hollywood to Embrace AI at Cannes, Triggering Backlash Over Film's Future
6 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 14
Cannes remarks from Demi Moore set off immediate online backlash after she said Hollywood's fight against AI is a battle it will lose and should shift toward working with the technology.
Moore argued AI is already here and can offer "beautiful aspects" if used well, while adding the industry is probably not doing enough to protect itself from the risks.
Critics on social media accused her of ceding filmmaking to Silicon Valley and sounding more like an investor than an artist, though supporters said AI is inevitable and those who resist it will fall behind.
At the same Cannes appearance, Moore also warned against self-censorship in entertainment, saying political expression is central to art and creativity.
If AI makes filmmaking cheaper, why has Los Angeles lost over 40,000 entertainment jobs since 2022?
As AI promises efficiency, why are artists being paid near-minimum wage to secretly train their own replacements?
