Robots capable of killing off mankind may already have taken over the world thanks to the progress made in the field of Artificial Intelligence, according to the film director James Cameron, who created first two Terminator movies.
The 68-year-old Canadian filmmaker came to his scary conclusion on the SmartLess podcast, telling the hosts that he was worried about the real life threat posed by AI and posed the contention that humans could end up fighting a war with "someone smarter than ourselves".
The Oscar-winner, who also directed the two Avatar films, Aliens, The Abyss and Titanic, said AI could even have taken over the world and it may be too late to stop it. In an article in the Daily Star, he said: "I'm not afraid but I'm pretty concerned about the potential of misuse of AI. . . I think AI can be pretty great. I think it could also literally be the end of the world."
