Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed that the future artificial intelligence technology that was predicted in the iconic “Terminator” franchise has “become a reality.”
During a Los Angeles event honoring the 75-year-old Austrian-born actor and his limited edition photo book, Schwarzenegger remarked on the similarities between today’s real-world AI technology and the AI portrayed in the 80s action epic he starred in.
“Now over the course of decades, it has become a reality,” Schwarzenegger claimed. He also added praise for “Terminator” filmmaker James Cameron for predicting the future.
Leading tech and science experts have raised the concerns over AI that Schwarzenegger mentioned. SpaceX CEO and Twitter owner Elon Musk recently claimed, “Arguably, we are on the event horizon of the black hole that is artificial superintelligence.”
Although Musk claimed he doesn’t believe “AI’s going to try to destroy all of humanity,” he claimed it could “put us under strict controls.” Referencing Schwarzenegger and Cameron’s film, he added there is a “non-zero chance of [AI] going full ‘Terminator’” in the future.

He said, “He’s just such an extraordinary writer and he’s such an unbelievable director, this is again, one of those things that I wish I could take credit for this movie.”
In addition to being known for his successful films, Cameron has become known for pushing the boundaries of film technology and is also an avid deep-sea explorer. The media recently sought Cameron’s expertise in reports covering the recent tragedy of the OceanGate Titan submersible implosion.
