James Cameron expressed his belief that artificial general intelligence will not arise from government-funded programs but will instead emerge from multibillion-dollar private tech research, which poses significant risks.
He warned that by living alongside a super-intelligent entity governed by corporate rules and goals, we might inhabit a world that lacks consent and democracy, fundamentally altering societal dynamics.
Cameron highlighted the danger of surveillance capitalism rapidly transforming into digital totalitarianism, emphasizing that tech companies could become unaccountable arbiters of 'human good', echoing dystopian themes from his films.
He concluded that the current reality of these developments is scarier than the science fiction depicted in 'The Terminator', marking a shift from fiction to a concerning present.
