Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, Cameron said: “I still There is the danger of a Terminator -style apocalypsein which AI with weapons systems is combined, even to the level of nuclear weapons systems, nuclear defense counterattack, all that. “
Added: “I feel that we are at a high point of human development where three existential threats are presented: the climate and general degradation of the natural world, nuclear weapons and superintelligence.

James Cameron and the future of Avatar
Cameron declared in a new interview that he is “ready to direct” the films Avatar 4 and Avatar 5. The third “Avatar” movie, officially entitled Avatar: fire and ashit opens in cinemas at the end of this year.
Cameron initially expressed doubts about his future as director of “Avatar”, declaring Empire in 2022 that directing the franchise is “overwhelming” and that I could want to “give up the post” to another director from Avatar 4. But that is no longer the intention of the Oscar winner.
“There is no reason not to do it”Cameron said before his 71. Birthday on August about directing more sequelae of “Avatar” to Empire magazine in a new interview. “I am healthy, I am ready to start. I do not rule it out. That is, I have to do it with energy, to be able to handle the volume and energy of the work for another six or seven years. Do you understand? Maybe I cannot do it … but if I can, I will.”
Cameron said that he already has a history of delegating his management projects to other filmmakers, especially highlighting the delivery of ALITA: Combat Angel to Robert Rodríguez. Cameron was still very involved in the production of the film, but was not physically in command.
“He respected what I had written. We worked in close collaboration,” Cameron said about Rodríguez.
But Cameron’s plan for now is to direct “Avatar 4” and “Avatar 5”, even with other projects outside “Avatar” in development. The filmmaker is working on Adaptations of the books “The Ghost of Hiroshima” and “Los Devils”which could also affect its ability to direct more “avatar” sequelae.
