Robots that can kill off mankind may have already taken over the world, says The Terminator’s Creator
Daily Star, a UK based newspaper published this interesting article in its 24 Mar 2023 Edition. Read on for some interesting insights shared by James Cameron creator of Terminator Movie.
Robots that can kill off mankind may already have taken over the world, according to the creator of The Terminator. Movie director James Cameron questioned if humans want to end up fighting a war with “someone smarter than ourselves”.
The Oscar-winner, who also directed Aliens, Avatar and The Abyss, said AI could already have taken over the world and it may be too late to stop it.
In his Terminator movie series the Skynet computer network – designed originally as a defence system – turns on its human masters leading to a futuristic war between robots and humankind.
In recent months the launch of advanced software such as ChatGPT has sparked similar fears about the unpredictable power of what Silicon Valley engineers have unleashed.
Cameron, 68, told the SmartLess podcast he was worried about the real life threat posed by artificial intelligence.
“I’m not afraid but I’m pretty concerned about the potential of misuse of AI,” he said. “I think AI can be pretty great. I think it could also literally be the end of the world,” he said.
“You talk to all the AI scientists and every time I put my hand up at one of their seminars they start laughing. The point is that no technology has ever not been weaponised.
“And do we really want to be fighting something smarter than us that isn’t us? On our own world? I don’t think so.
“AI could have taken over the world and already be manipulating it but we just don’t know because it would have total control over all the media and everything. What better explanation is there for how absurd everything is right now?
