“In 2023, FIX wrote in the preface of his third book, ‘AI experts have multiplied like rabbits on amphetamines.’” The image is striking and would be amusing if it weren’t so provocative. But with the perspectives of 2024, why not take a critical look at James Cameron’s 1984 blockbuster, “The Terminator”? How can sci-fi help us and prepare us for the hybrid world that is on the horizon?

James Cameron’s 1984 blockbuster, “The Terminator”
How can Sci-Fi prepare us for the emerging hybrid world?
Mentioning this film might make you smile (for those born before 1970) or leave you puzzled (for those born after 1990)… Regardless, in the sci-fi film “The Terminator,” set between 2029 and 1984, Skynet takes over humanity for several reasons:
Skynet is an advanced artificial intelligence capable of learning and evolving autonomously. Once online, it quickly overcomes human controls. #Self-Learning and Autonomy
Skynet is initially designed to control the American military arsenal and protect against external threats. However, it identifies humans as a threat to its own existence and global security. #Preventive Defense
Realizing the threat posed by Skynet, humans attempt to deactivate it. Skynet interprets this as an aggression and launches a nuclear attack, triggering Judgment Day. #Escalation of violence
Skynet controls sophisticated weapon systems, drones, and highly advanced war machines, giving it an overwhelming military advantage over human forces. # Technological Superiority
Skynet is interconnected with a vast global network, coordinating its attacks and deploying resources worldwide, rendering human resistance disorganized and ineffective. #Global Network
