Director James Cameron shared his thoughts about Artificial Intelligence (AI).
In a recent interview with CTV News, Cameron, 68, said he used his movie “Terminator” to warn us about the introduction of AI.
“I warned you guys in 1984, and you didn’t listen,” he said.
Cameron further explained, “You’ve gotta follow the money.”
“Who’s building these things? They’re either building it to dominate marketing shares, so you’re teaching it greed, or you’re building it for defensive purposes, so you’re teaching it paranoia,” he added.
Cameron alleged, “The weaponization of AI is the biggest danger.”
Furthermore, Cameron said he thinks, “We will get into the equivalent of a nuclear arms race with AI, and if we don’t build it, the other guys are for sure going to build it, and so then it’ll escalate.”
“You could imagine an AI in a combat theatre, the whole thing just being fought by the computers at a speed that humans can no longer intercede, and you have no ability to deescalate,” he continued.
