The Rise of The Machines
In 1984, James Cameron’s The Terminator debuted on our screens. The movie is a hybrid of action, science fiction, and thriller, touching on subjects such as time travel, artificial intelligence, and the effects of human actions on future events. The robots in the Terminator movies, particularly Skynet, the artificial intelligence system, show the ability to learn and adapt. Skynet is presented as a sophisticated and self-aware AI system that continually gains knowledge and begins to learn and evolve over time. Skynet uses this power to become a formidable foe for human resistance.
Watching the movie as a young boy was incredible, amazing, and exciting. I was just glad of the fact that everything I watched was certainly NEVER going to happen. Fast forward nearly 40 years, and this past weekend I gave my interns the task of watching the movie so they could understand how fast the world has caught up.
