Demi Moore says film industry should embrace the rise of AI at Cannes while sparking health concerns from fans
Demi Moore has made bombshell claims that the film industry should embrace the rise of AI while sparking concerns for her health at the Cannes Film Festival.
Demi Moore has made bombshell claims that the film industry should embrace the rise of artificial intelligence, as “to fight it is a battle we will lose”.
The 63-year-old actress offered her take on AI and its role in the future of film during a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday.
“I always feel that against-ness breeds against-ness,” she said, alongside fellow Cannes jury members Stellan Skarsgård and jury resident Park Chan-wook.

She added: “Are we doing enough to protect ourselves? I don’t know the answer to that. And so my inclination would be to say probably not.”
The Substance star said the world shouldn’t be scared of what AI can bring, as it could “never replace” what human creatives are capable of.
“The truth is, there really isn’t anything to fear because what it can never replace is what true art comes from, which is not the physical; it comes from the soul,” she continued.
“It comes from the spirit of each and every one of us sitting here, to each and every one of us who creates every day. And that they can never recreate through something that is technical.”
It comes after the Ghost actress sparked health concerns with her slender figure, and fans took to her latest Instagram post to wish her well.
Moore shared a video of her looking glamorous in a strapless, sequin Jacquemus gown for the Cannes opening ceremony dinner, and while most fans complimented her outfit, some were worried about her.
“I’ve been a big fan of yours for years, Demi, and I say with the utmost compassion that I hope you take care of your health. A lot of people care about you,” one fan said.
Another said: “Always been beautiful, but please look after yourself, getting far too thin and it’s not healthy.”
“Beautiful dress, but she is too skinny,” a third added.
However some fans came to Moore’s defence.
“Ok for everyone saying she is too skinny..I am 57 and as you get older, your appetite decreases and newsflash some of us get thin. Stop being so judgemental,” one fan said.
Another said: “She’s beautiful and always has been but let’s please stop with the passive aggressive childish comments. I hope she does feel good in herself and yes, I agree this is not healthy. Whatever she is going through is hers to work through and we don’t need to be cruel as she moves through it.”
“The hair being styled down, the dress on her, and the matching natural diamond jewellery are perfection. I love when a stylist loves the person they’re dressing,” a third added.
