The final days of Cannes Lions 2026 brought the week's biggest ideas together: AI as infrastructure, people as the point, and conviction as the quality that separates those who follow change from those who lead it. Our Cannes Correspondents report from the Croisette one last time.

Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity 2026 opened with a question that refused to go away all week: as AI becomes more capable, what becomes more valuable about being human? Our Cannes Correspondents report on different sessions, stages and conversations and bringing the best of it back to our Members.

The second in our series explores emotion, perhaps the most fundamental human advantage of all. AI can read emotion, detect sentiment and measure reactions, but it cannot create feeling. Drawing on behavioural science, this piece argues that emotional significance may become one of the scarcest and most valuable assets in an AI driven world, and asks leaders whether their organisations are designing memorable emotional moments or merely efficient journeys.

This is a behavioural science series of articles exploring the human capabilities AI may make more - not less - valuable. AI is a technological tidal wave, it will change so many ways in which we operate, work and even live. As the new world evolves, we need to ask increasingly important questions of leaders, brands and organisations, namely what remaining human advantages is we need to identify, give salience to, nurture and protect.
