James Cameron rejects the use of AI in Avatar: Fire and Ash
During a recent interview with comicsJames Cameron addressed the worrying issue surrounding the use of AI and how it appears they are starting to take this situation more into account.
“I think they’re hearing that now. They call it the ‘Skynet Problem’ and it’s being debated. But obviously what they’re talking about is alignment. If you are aware of general intelligence issues and AI in general, alignment is important.
And they must be trained, taught, limited so that they work only for the good of humanity. The problem is: who makes this decision? Who decides what is best for us? We can’t agree on anything.
All religions disagree on issues of ethics, morality, etc. All governments have different ideas, so What morality, what idea of what is best for us will prevail?
Alignment cannot be achieved unless humans have consensus, and we do not. We are probably in a world with almost no consensus at the moment.
And then you start adding misinformation and intentional misinformation. Plus, it’s like we won’t figure it out in time. And they are running in this direction with billions and billions of dollars invested”, he explained.
In turn, the filmmaker highlighted that He did not and does not want to use generative AI in any of the films in his saga avatar because he respects both the actors and the entire team behind them.
“I’m not negative about generative AI, I just wanted to point out that we don’t use it in movies. avatar. We honor and celebrate actors. We don’t replace them. This will reach its limit. I think Hollywood will police itself on this. We will find the solution. But we can only do this as artists if we exist”, he commented.
