Director James Cameron believes that the rise of artificial intelligence could lead to an apocalyptic event mirroring the plot of one of his most famous films.
“Look, I mean, I do think there’s still a danger of a Terminator-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defense counterstrike, all that stuff,” Cameron said in an interview with Rolling Stone.
The Terminator is Cameron’s classic 1984 action flick about a cyborg assassin (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) who travels back in time from a future in which a self-conscious AI has triggered a nuclear apocalypse.
