“We’ve been developing it for a number of years, and we plan to go ahead with it very soon. Raquel Welch is not available, but we think we can make a pretty good movie,” he said.

“Science fiction allows us to imagine futures that can emerge from our present day. When Star Wars came along, science fiction seemed to suddenly become very upbeat, [all about] entertainment and adventure.

“Who gets to decide what’s good for humanity? Machine intelligence will only be a reflection of us. It’ll be us with all our flaws and all of our potentially evil intentions.

This is what concerns me.”
