James Cameron, the acclaimed director of movies like Terminator and today in force thanks to ‘Avatar’, offered a controversial statement regarding the use of artificial intelligence by humanity in an interview he gave to CTV News. Let’s remember, the filmmaker was behind one of the most impressive science fiction films in cinema, such as ‘Terminator’, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton.
Cameron has been clear in saying that he shares everyone’s concerns about the constant use of artificial intelligence, but the phrase that has made him go viral was: “I warned you in 1984, and you didn’t listen to me.” In a clear reference to the year in which the first Terminator movie was released, a tape that came with a US$6.4 million and ended up collecting US$ 78.731.200.

The concerns of the also director of ‘Titanic‘ aim to know who is behind the use of AI, since he considers that “militarization is the greatest danger”, comparing this moment with what happened in the 80s when the nuclear arms race between the world powers (United States and Russia) took place.
«You could imagine an AI in a theater of combat, the whole thing is being fought by computers at a rate where humans can no longer intercede, and you don’t have the ability to de-escalate» he expressed.
Although it may sound like a conspiracy theorist, he is not the only person worried about how this new technology could be used. Not in vain Cameron has always stood out for being a visionary. Let’s hope that his worries don’t end up coming true, and that artificial intelligence continues to serve purposes focused entirely on improving humanity.
