Arnold Schwarzenegger says that AI has transformed James Cameron’s The Terminator into a reality.
The rise of AI over the last year has been astounding, terrifying, and everything in between, but for Arnold Schwarzenegger, it’s the beginning of the future predicted in James Cameron’s The Terminator.
The Terminator imagined a future in which the artificial intelligence known as Skynet became self-aware and destroyed much of humanity. Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke recently about the AI prediction in The Terminator. We aren’t quite there yet, but it’s a step closer. “Today everyone is afraid of it, where this is going to go,“, the actor said during an Evening with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Los Angeles. “In this movie, ‘Terminator’, we talk about machines becoming self aware and taking over…Now, over the course decades, it is a reality. It’s no longer a fantasy or futuristic. It’s here now. And so this is the extraordinary writing of Jim Cameron.“
He is such an incredible writer and director. This is again, something that I wish I could claim credit for. I’m sorry, but I can’t.” “I only have to take credit for the character I played and how I played it. He has created this character. He has written it so well, he’s written the movie so well, and that’s why he is, you know, the number one director in the world.“Arnold Schwarzenegger can currently be seen starring in
