Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke at an event about artificial intelligence. The actor stated that the film “Terminator” has now become a reality.
The actor Arnold Schwarzenegger was first seen in his cult role as Terminator in 1984.
The setting of the film is the year 2029, and intelligent machines rule over the Earth, while only a few surviving humans remain.
A topic that now, 39 years after the release of Terminator, according to Arnold Schwarzenegger, is no longer so far from reality.
“Now, over the decades, it has become a reality”
At a press event on June 28, 2023, in Los Angeles, the Terminator actor said that James Cameron’s cult film from 1984 has now become a reality, as reported by the American magazine People:
Today, everyone is afraid of where this will lead. And in this film, in Terminator, we talk about machines becoming self-aware and seizing power.
The actor states that the film had already addressed the topic of artificial intelligence back then.
In Arnold Schwarzenegger’s view, we have now reached a time where the story from back then no longer represents unrealistic ideas.
Now, over the decades, it has become a reality. So it is no longer a fantasy or futuristic.
It is here today. Just like Jim [James] Cameron’s extraordinary script.

After that, Arnold Schwarzenegger adds commendatory words for the Terminator director and screenwriter, emphasizing:
He is simply such an extraordinary writer and such an incredible director. I wish I could take the credits for this film. I can only accept the praise for the role I played and the way I played it.
But I mean, he created this character. He wrote it so well, he wrote the movie so well, and that’s why he is the number one among directors in the world.
However, Arnold Schwarzenegger did not want to accept one role and instead passed it on to another well-known action actor:
