Arnold Schwarzenegger says Terminator is a reality

Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke about the similarities between artificial intelligence in the cult film franchise “Terminator” and life today. About it reported People edition.

“Today everyone is afraid of this, of what it will lead to. In The Terminator, we’re talking about machines that become self-aware and take over. Now, decades later, it has become a reality. So it’s not fantasy or anything futuristic anymore. It’s here and now,” Schwarzenegger said, referring to current concerns about artificial intelligence.

Arnold Schwarzenegger played the title role of a cyborg killer in the Terminator movie franchise. The first part of the series tells the story of the confrontation between the soldier Kyle Reese and the cyborg terminator, who arrived in 1984 from a post-apocalyptic future, where killer machines rule the world, and humanity is on the verge of extinction.

Earlier, Elon Musk said that AI “has the potential to destroy civilization,” and also recalled that a similar scenario was played out in the Terminator film series. “But everything will not happen like in the Terminator, because the mind will be in the data centers. Robots will only be the final factor,” he stressed.
