'Titanic' director James Cameron is All In on AI

Jame Cameron, director of Titanic and The Terminator

Stability AI announced that James Cameron, renowned director of films like Titanic and The Terminator, has joined its board. This move is seen as a step towards the startup's goal of revolutionizing visual media with AI tools. Stability AI, based in London, has developed AI image-generation tools that compete with offerings from tech giants like Google and OpenAI. Cameron highlighted that generative AI and computer-generated imagery will unlock new creative possibilities for storytelling. However, the use of AI in Hollywood has faced resistance, as writers and actors went on strike in 2023, demanding protections against AI's unregulated influence on their work. Cameron is joining a board that also includes Sean Parker, former president of Facebook.

Sam Altman believes that Superintelligence is only a few thousand days away.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, believes superintelligent AI—technology surpassing human capabilities—could emerge in just a few thousand days, radically transforming life by solving complex problems like climate change and accelerating progress in areas like education and space exploration. He envisions AI-driven advancements such as personalized virtual tutors and autonomous assistants, but stresses the need for improved infrastructure and lower computing costs to avoid AI becoming a resource accessible only to the wealthy. While Altman acknowledges the potential risks of AI, some experts argue that AI's impact is overhyped and will never surpass human intelligence.
