US actor urges her peers to work with the technology, but stresses it can never replace ‘true art’ created by humans

Demi Moore has said her peers cannot resist the rise of artificial intelligence, saying “to fight it is a battle we will lose”.

The actor, who is a member of the Cannes film festival jury, was asked during a press conference on Tuesday how AI was affecting the industry and whether she believed more regulation was needed.

“I always feel that against-ness breeds against-ness,” she said. “AI is here. And so to fight it is to fight something that is a battle that we will lose. So to find ways in which we can work with it I think is a more valuable path to take.”

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.”
