Tilda Swinton drew a sharp line between cinema and artificial intelligence at a Cannes Film Festival masterclass, arguing that AI poses a genuine threat only when filmmakers default to the predictable.

“I believe as long as what we’re not producing is formulaic and in some way tiring for the audience, AI doesn’t have a chance,” Swinton said during a wide-ranging on-stage conversation moderated by Didier Allouch. “But as long as we can continue to do that, then we have to watch out.”
