Beverly Hills, California – “Battlestar Galactica “Star Trice Helfer believes that the show was a foreseen warning for artificial intelligence when he debuted more than 20 years ago.
“We warned against the IA while we were shooting him,” Helfe said to Fox News Digital at the Beverly Hills Film Festival this week.
He continued, “it was 20 years ago, and recently I looked at it and I went,” Oh my God, it’s even more relevant now “. So I think we really have to be careful.
“I think we are still a bit far from the humanoid cylon and humanoid robots, but I don’t know, they are coming,” added Helfe.

As for the IA, the Canadian actress said: “It is not going away, so I think it is something we will have to embrace. But I think one of the” Battlestar Galactica “things has done of what he warned. And this is, I think, something we have to assure us (it is) that we have the adjustments and an understanding of how quickly and how much there has been technology.

In 2023, Esmail spoke with The Hollywood journalist On how the sight of the new version of AI would evolve from the original.
“The world is changing too quickly for us. I want to say, when we started working on it, obviously I was aware of the AI, but now, four or five years later, it is in the public consciousness and is now so influential in the way we tell the story,” Esmail said to the outlet. “The piece of allegory is also something that is crystallized in a different way. Attention is the same, which is the fear of technology and how it could take over, but this idea of” robots will be our sovereigns “is a very easy and excessive way of looking at it. Now that the audience is more sophisticated on the consequences, I think we must combine that” is a Battlestar “.”
“It is a slippery slope between using it to our advantage and perhaps able to control us a little.”
While Helfer believes that humanoid robots are still in the future a little distant, there are some attempts to create them today.
