Tom Holland Thinks “Creativity Is Safe From AI” Because It “Doesn’t Have A Soul”

As the future of generative AI continues to loom over Hollywood, Tom Holland isn’t worried about it coming for his job.

The BAFTA winner recently gave his opinions on the limitations of artificial intelligence, which he noted “doesn’t have a soul,” explaining why “I feel protected” the technology as a creative.

“Creativity is safe from AI because creativity has to do with the human experience. It’s about emotions, it’s about understanding one another,” he said on Spain’s El Hormiguero talk show.

“AI can sift through data, but it can’t understand people’s emotions. It doesn’t understand the difference between being happy and being sad,” added Holland. “The way artists paint, it’s not about what they’re copying, it’s about expressing themselves, so I feel protected. [AI] doesn’t have a soul.”

The use of AI in Hollywood continues to be a hot-button topic. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA has endorsed the Trump administration’s AI policy framework, which calls for Congress to enact legislation that includes parental controls, intellectual property rights protection, First Amendment protections, expanding AI workforce development, allowing data centers to generate their own power and removing legal barriers that limit AI innovation.
