Pentagon is worrying about coming Pentagon is worrying about 'Terminator' coming true. Seriously.

It's Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor and former California governor, who is lending his persona as the famed Terminator from the movie franchise to the community-based traffic and navigation app Waze.

He points out that for half a century now, computing power has roughly doubled every two years – a trajectory of growth known as Moore's Law – and that computers are already capable of many actions far beyond what humans can do. In his scariest scenario, which sounds disturbingly close to the premise of the Arnie Schwarzenegger Terminator movies, he warns that computers could morph into an autarkic life form powerful enough to "destroy us, our carbon life forms, and inherit the Earth". Luckily he thinks this outcome unlikely, and in the end has no fear of the Rise of the Machines. "Computers are entirely rational creations. But true intelligence, the ability to create and to invent, is intuitive – and you can't do rational intuition."

If Skynet comes to fruition, it will probably use a Linux base, and the same is true for the cyborgs it will produce. You don't want to have something that can break down or look for updates right in the middle of an assault for the last base of the human resistance. This begs the question: Is Linus Torvalds still alive then to release kernels every Sunday or Skynet has adopted the naming systems and the GPL licenses for the OS used for its cyborgs?

Artificial Intelligence will rule Hollywood (intelligently) in 2015, with a slew of both iconic and new robots hitting the screen. From the Turing-bashing "Ex Machina" to old friends R2-D2 and C-3PO, and new enemies like the Avengers' Ultron, sentient robots will demonstrate a number of human and superhuman traits on-screen. But real-life robots may be just as thrilling. In this five-part series Live Science looks at these made-for-the-movies advances in machine intelligence.

Les films de guerre américains, comme "La Somme de toutes les peurs", où des terroristes font exploser une bombe nucléaire, font apparaître les liens étroits et renforcés, depuis le 11 septembre, entre l'industrie cinématographique et des autorités soucieuses d'améliorer leur image.
