Some of the more overt worries question the safety of AI controlling something like self-driving vehicles.
However, for the United States, something goes terribly wrongand a nuclear warhead is triggered in Los Angeles.
Whatever we did for the specifics of that event wasn’t important to the story.
He started by thinking aboutself-driving carstoif [AI on] a plane went wrong:
… Would we then ban AI?
I don’t know.
Then you go, Okay, what if a plane went wrong?
Because of AI onboard?
You know, would we ban it from planes?
We would definitely ban it then.
Edwards warned that a catastrophic situationwill comein the real world, even if itsnot the nuclear version.
The downside is it will kill 40,000 people every year in America.'
Are you all still cool with it?
You’d go, ‘No, no, no, stop, stop.
We can’t possibly do that.’
But we did do that with cars, right?
Cars kill 40,000 people every year, but we tolerate it because the advantages are massive, right?
So we sort of just accept that as part of having a car.
We are sort of seeing a little bit of that already.
But why would you ban it, you know, and now we’re in 2023.
When it comes to the exploration of AI in storytelling, its been done quite often.
But withThe Creator, what particular tropes did Gareth Edwards want to avoid?
We didn’t want to play that trick on the audience.
And so it wasn’t a film about that kind of twist.
And then it goes off in its own tangent.
And it’s just thrown away.
Will AI Be Worth the Dangerous Collateral Damage?
One of the most interesting parts of Gareth Edwards quotes is his comparison to car-related fatalitiesbecause its absolutely true.
Who is to say that AI wont get to the same point?
The closer AI gets to military operations, the slippier that slope becomes.
It is a shame the film doesnt offer up more details about what happened in Los Angeles.
Though, its completely understandable why Edwards chose that approach.
