Right away, Terminator Zero introduces us to what we should fear.
Eiko, a resistance member in an apocalyptic future, holds her breath while hiding as the Terminator ’s heavy footsteps march through a hallway of bloodied bodies. A dying soldier groans for help before a comrade activates a bomb, right before their robotic predator guns him down. Eiko shoots the bomb before bolting away into the smoke, starting a trigger-happy chase from her pursuer.
Similar to the Terminator films, an AI called Skynet has initiated the apocalypse after deciding humanity is a threat that needs to be eliminated in Terminator Zero. This reality is reflected in the opening where Eiko is evading the Terminator in 2022. However, the series swaps between two timelines. Back in 1997, scientist Malcolm Lee is developing an AI called Kokoro that could be the one salvation against Skynet. Unlike Skynet, which has decided humanity is a threat, Kokoro is still deciding.

James Cameron, director of the first two Terminator films, once spoke about leaning more into AI if he were to ever do a Terminator reboot. Similarly, Tomlin addressed AI in the Q&A at the premiere. Terminator Zero’s production started in 2021, when AI was still in its infancy.
