Christopher Nolan — the Hollywood director known for cerebral, original blockbusters — is warning that artificial intelligence is about to reach an “Oppenheimer moment,” and he insists that people need to be “held accountable” for its development.hits theaters next weekend, likens the rise of AI to the development of the atomic bomb, a saga his new film explores.
Indeed, there is a parallel to the development and deployment of America’s first atomic bomb. Some scientists feared that if an atomic bomb were to be set off, it could be powerful enough to actually rip away Earth’s entire atmosphere, utterly laying waste to the whole world. That possibility was an unknown factor as the first bombs were tested.
“When I talk to the leading researchers in the field of AI right now, for example, they literally refer to this — right now — as their Oppenheimer moment,” Nolan continued. “They’re looking to history to say, ‘What are the responsibilities for scientists developing new technologies that may have unintended consequences?’”
