Recently, well-known director Christopher Nolan said in the latest media interview that the moral dilemma brought by artificial intelligence is similar to that facing Oppenheimer, and reminds people to be wary of the "Oppenheimer's Moment" of artificial intelligence. The film will be officially released in the mainland on August 30.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Oppenheimer" directed by British-American film director Christopher Nolan is being released in North America. Recently, Nolan mentioned in an interview with the United States National Broadcasting Corporation that artificial intelligence may become the "Oppenheimer's moment" in the 21st century, and reminded people to note that the world is facing a powerful threat no less than nuclear weapons.

"We may trigger a chain reaction and destroy the whole world. I believe we did it." The protagonist Oppenheimer said at the end of the movie "Opinheimer". The film tells the life story of Robert Oppenheimer (J) of the United States. Oppenheimer had presided over the creation of the world's first atomic bomb, but after the atomic bomb incident in Hiroshima, Japan, he fell into guilt and pain. With the end of World War II, countries embarked on an arms race to create weapons of mass destruction, and no one knew where it would lead human society. This is the dilemma faced by Oppenheimer in the film.

In the interview, Nolan said that the moral dilemma brought by artificial intelligence today is exactly the same as the dilemma Oppenheimer faces. “When I now talk to cutting-edge researchers in the field of AI, they actually call AI their 'Oppenheimer's Moment, the development of new technologies can have unintended consequences, then in the process, What responsibilities do scientists need to bear?”

Also interviewed with Nolan was contemporary theoretical physicist Carlo. "The questions raised by the film are not only about the 1940s, but also about scientists' morality." Rovelli said these questions were "urgent" and said he had thought about what would Oppenheimer would have if he came to the 21st century. Go to adapt.

Nolan also said that the idea of ​​producing and using AI in this case is "terrible" because as AI systems enter the field of defense infrastructure, Ultimately they may be responsible for nuclear weapons”.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, many experts warned that if the so-called "weaponization of artificial intelligence" occurs and humans can no longer fully control autonomous weapon systems, this will pose a threat to national security. Dresp-, a professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, who specializes in philosophy, artificial intelligence and information, wrote in March this year in the journal Frontier of Artificial Intelligence: "A kind of The new weapons of mass destruction that are completely different, more complex and harmful have turned from risk to reality.”

Meanwhile, other possible risks associated with artificial intelligence include unfair environments, stereotypes, slander, increased extremist ideology, etc. Fearing that it might eventually replace people’s work, Hollywood screenwriters and actors have launched a massive joint strike with demanding film companies promise not to replace them with artificial intelligence.

"Oppenheimer" is scheduled for release in the mainland.

"Oppenheimer" is another new work released by Nolan after "Creedy" in 2020. The film's poster states that the film is shot in real scenes with IMAX film cameras, rather than special effects. In this regard, Nolan once said that such shooting technology can ensure that "the lens will make people feel it personally." He tried to restore the real feeling that the first nuclear explosion gave people - "dangerous, beautiful and terrible". Nolan said he hopes that those who watch Oppenheimer will be more aware of the crisis we face today.

It is reported that the film will be officially released in the mainland on August 30.
