Artificial intelligence statement from the famous director Christopher Nolan

Successful director Christopher Nolan, the name behind popular films such as Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Memento and Batman trilogy, gave his honest opinion on artificial intelligence in a new interview. While the Oscar-nominated filmmaker touched on the dangers of artificial intelligence, he cited the threat of artificial intelligence to business as the reason why the subject occupied the agenda so much.

“The growth and problems of artificial intelligence for weapons systems have been clear for many years,” Nolan said. The famous director also said, “Few journalists bothered to write about it. Now there is a chatbot that can write articles for a local newspaper, and it has suddenly become a crisis.” used the phrases.

“Simple problem”

Nolan said the main problem with AI is “a very simple problem” and that the technology is being used by companies to “evade responsibility for their actions”. This essentially means a reference to artificial intelligence regulations.

Nolan continued: “If we endorse the view that AI is very powerful, we’re also confirming the view that it can free people from responsibility for their actions—military, socioeconomic. I don’t know what happened, but throughout history humankind has had a tendency to create false idols, shape something in our own image, and then say we have divine powers because we did it.”

Artificial intelligence should not be in human status

Adding that he thinks there is “a real danger” in artificial intelligence, Nolan said, “I define danger as avoiding responsibility.” “I still feel that artificial intelligence can be a very powerful tool for us. I’m optimistic about that. I’m really optimistic,” Nolan said. According to the director, AI should be seen as a tool and the person using it should be responsible for the results: “If we at some point legally give AI a human status as we do to companies, yes, we will have big problems.”

Will Nolan use artificial intelligence technologies in his films?

During the interview, Nolan was also asked if he would use artificial intelligence technologies in his films. As Nolan expected: “You know me, I’m more of an ex-analogue filmmaker. I’m filming. And I’m trying to give players complete reality around that. My view on technology as it relates to my job is that I want to use technology for what it’s best at. For example, if we’re using a stunt, it’s a dangerous stunt. You can do this with much more visible wires and then paint the wires. Things like that.” Meanwhile, Nolan’s latest movie, “Oppenheimer,” will hit theaters on July 21.
