Terminate the threat: Why haven’t we realised that someone, human or AI, is secretly controlling us online, asks the writer. — Others

THE 1991 American sci-fi movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day teaches us one valuable lesson: “Appearances are deceiving.”

In the movie, a man in a police uniform is, in fact, a T-1000 advanced cyborg that is a ruthless killing machine. Conversely, the man dressed like a motorcycle gangster, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, is a good cyborg whose mission is to protect John Connor, the future leader of the human resistance against the Artificial Intelligence that tries to annihilate human civilisation.
