“Machines gain self-awareness and take over”: “iron Arnie” said that the future of the “Terminator” has already arrived (6 photos)

But the hottest is yet to come.





In 1984, the Terminator came out on the screens and thundered all over the world.



Schwarzenegger became a real star, and James Cameron - one of the most promising American directors. Although in a couple of years before that, the bosses of the film studios did not let him go beyond the threshold and trusted shoot only vigorous trash, like a sequel to a horror movie about piranhas.

It just so happened that Cameron chose the right actor for the role of a cyborg killer, and Schwarzenegger helped him find an additional financing. In the end, both became celebrities, earned hundreds million dollars and built completely insane careers.

It all started with an idea about a piece of iron that wants to deprive humanity of the future.



And this week, Arnold performed at a creative evening and touched on the topic of artificial intelligence. According to him, the future, which Cameron then indicated in the "Terminator" becomes everyday life.

Today everyone is afraid of this, of what it will lead to - Schwarzenegger said. “And in this film, in Terminator, we are talking about that machines become self-aware and take over.

Now, decades later, it has become a reality. This is no longer science fiction or futurism. We see it here and now.



So Arnold "looks at the root." Or maybe not: now no one knows what the development of neural networks will lead to and artificial intelligence. Perhaps in a few decades they quietly replace a person in a variety of areas. Or will they remain advertised toy and "horror story" for movies and computer games.
