James Cameron expresses concern that the use of artificial intelligence in global arms could result in a Terminator-style apocalypse. He acknowledges reliance on AI for his work but fears its potential misuse with weapons systems, particularly nuclear ones. Cameron emphasizes human fallibility in decision-making and highlights past mistakes that nearly led to nuclear conflicts. He identifies climate change, nuclear weapons, and super-intelligence as simultaneous existential threats facing humanity at this time, suggesting that managing super-intelligence might provide a solution.
There's still a danger of a Terminator-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems.
Humans are fallible, and there have been a lot of mistakes made that have put us right on the brink of international incidents that could have led to nuclear war.
We're at this cusp in human development where you've got the three existential threats: climate, nuclear weapons, and super-intelligence manifesting and peaking at the same time.
Maybe the super-intelligence is the answer.
