A few days ago, after the Oppenheimer screening at The Whitby Hotel in New York City, USA, Nolan attended a promotional panel with scientists and Kai Bird, one of the authors of the American Prometheus book on which Oppenheimer is based, to talk about the film he directed. .
Stating that he told the “story of a man who regrets that he did not take into account the consequences of a great technological innovation” in the Oppenheimer film, Nolan stated that there are some parallels between this story and “the future of artificial intelligence”.
Nolan said that the penetration of artificial intelligence into defense infrastructure could lead to complex consequences.
When Chuck Todd, the moderator of Meet the Press, asked Nolan what Silicon Valley should learn from the film: “I think what I’m going to ask them to consider is the concept of accountability,” he said. “When you innovate through technology, you have to make sure there is accountability. Companies have been on the rise over the past 15 years who have been babbling about words like ‘algorithm’ without knowing what it means in any meaningful or mathematical context.”
Nolan states that with the use of artificial intelligence systems in the defense infrastructure, it will also be effective on nuclear weapons. In addition, the famous director emphasizes that artificial intelligence should be positioned as a separate entity from the people who program it, put it into use or use it, and that we are also responsible for the tools we have.
Director; He emphasized that the Oppenheimer movie is a warning for the future of artificial intelligence.
Nolan added that artificial intelligence researchers look to the story of the Oppenheimer movie to tell what the responsibilities of scientists who develop new technologies that can lead to undesirable consequences are.
When asked whether Silicon Valley is currently considering AI responsibility, Nolan replied, “They say they’re doing it. I hope it continues like this. Oppenheimer’s story may not provide easy answers to these questions, but it serves as a cautionary tale.” He once again emphasized the parallelism between film and artificial intelligence technologies.
