Arnold Schwarzenegger Credits James Cameron’s Genius for Predicting Humankind’s Biggest Dread Right Now: “We Are Now in Fear of Self-Awareness of Machines”

The SAG AFTRA strike has concluded recently, and the $450 Million rich Arnold Schwarzenegger is happy about the new development. One of the crucial issues in the tentative deal touches on how to protect actors and writers from AI intrusion into the creative field. But the recent threat from AI was told almost four decades earlier by Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron duo.

The 76-year-old who recently appeared on The Issue Is with Elex Michaelson podcast applauded the remarkable vision of his 1984 iconic film director James Cameron, as The Terminator story is now a reality.

In the recent past, Artificial Intelligence has evolved, becoming a significant part of personal and professional life. While the advantages of such technological advancement are many, one cannot underestimate the threat of AI to people’s livelihoods. The WGA and SAG AFTRA double strikes asking for protection from AI is testimony to this fear among the masses.

Elex Michaelson was appalled by the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1984 movie The Terminator, which revolves around destructive artificial intelligence, is now a reality. But Arnie credits the film’s director, James Camron, for envisaging the threat from AI almost four decades back.

 “Jim Cameron did such an unbelievable job that it actually was the most sophisticatedly written movie of that year and for a long time to come because everything that he predicted in this film is becoming a reality, where we now kind of in fear of this self-awareness of the machines,” Schwarzenegger said appreciating the farsightedness of one of his favorite directors. However, the 76-year-old wouldn’t let go of the positive aspects of AI despite the looming threats.

While many refrain from using AI altogether, given the complexities, Schwarzenegger makes most of everything to benefit his fitness village. The Arnold’s Pump Club subscribers requested the bodybuilding icon to start fitness podcasts to help them get their fitness mantras despite a busy schedule. Arnie opted for an AI solution to meet his fans’ appeals.

“With my schedule. I couldn’t possibly read these emails every day… so I trained a machine with about every little detail of my voice,” he said in an Instagram post. However, given the AI threat, Schwarzenegger assured, “The Arnold’s Pump Club-800 is a good machine I trained to help humanity, but I know how to handle it if it turns on us.”
