'Battlestar Galactica' star says show's AI warnings more timely as sci-fi fantasies come to life

Tricia Helfer, who played a humanoid robot Cylon on "Battlestar Galactica," says the show's look at the conflict between humans and AI still resonates today. "We did warn against AI while we were shooting it," Helfer told Fox News Digital at the Beverly Hills Film Festival this week. She continued, "It was 20 years ago, and I've recently re-watched it and went, 'Oh my gosh, it's even more relevant now.' So I think we just really need to be careful. It's a slippery slope between using it to our advantage and having it maybe be able to control us a little bit." "I think we're a little bit far off from the humanoid Cylons yet and humanoid robots, but I don't know, they're coming," Helfer added.
