'Oppenheimer' director Christopher Nolan issued a warning about artificial intelligence after a special screening of the film.
According to Variety on the 15th (local time), after the 'Oppenheimer' premiere in New York, Nolan spoke about the future dangers of artificial intelligence. "AI systems will ultimately find their way into defense infrastructure and wield them at will. People who program and use them say they're separate, but that's not true," he argued.
He continued, "We need a sense of responsibility. We must hold people accountable for the AI they use as a tool," he said firmly.
Nolan's comments came at a time when the Actors and Broadcasters Union of America (SAG-AFTRA) ordered a strike to join WGA members and picket lines. He added, "The same goes for AI, as it relates to the ongoing labor strike in Hollywood. When we innovate with technology, we must hold ourselves accountable."
Regarding AI, in an article published by the New York Times in May, AI pioneer Dr. Jeffrey Hinton also expressed regret over his AI research. He issued a statement warning of the dangers of artificial intelligence and expressed regret over the recent AI-related issues.
Now, following the Writers Guild of America strike, the Hollywood Actors Guild is also on strike after 630,000. While introducing artificial intelligence (AI) actors on large streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, they are demanding protection of digital portrait rights to rule out the possibility of their appearance or voice being stolen without permission. In addition, it demanded measures to improve the treatment environment such as medical care and insurance, as well as the production environment that has changed according to technological development.
Due to the general strike, the filming of major works such as 'Gladiator 2' and 'Mission Impossible' were completely stopped, and actors in the films that were about to be screened showed appearances such as declaring their absence from previews.
Matt Damon, the lead actor of 'Oppenheimer', also left the premiere, saying, "If the movie stars go on strike, I will pack my bags and go home."
'Oppenheimer' is a movie about the nuclear development project of Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), a genius scientist who may have to destroy to save the world, and will be released in Korea on August 15th.
