But, I can give you reassurance that the age of AI voiceover may in fact be to the benefit of serious professional voice actors.
Scientists develop Terminator-style stretchable liquid metal
A new host of liquid metals that have applications towards soft robotics are making movies like'The Terminator' transcend make-believe. According to researchers, experimental liquid metals like gallium and other alloys, when supplemented with nickel or iron, are able to flex and mold into shapes with the use of magnets, much like the iconic movie villain, T-1000 from'The Terminator 2: Judgement Day.' While other such metals have been developed, they contended with two major drawbacks. A new host of liquid metals that have applications towards soft robotics are making movies like'The Terminator' transcend make-believe toward real life. Researchers say experimental liquid metals like gallium and other alloys, when supplemented with nickel or iron, are able to flex and mold into shapes with the use of magnets. A new material revealed by the American Chemical Society solves to major problems experienced by similar substances.
Google Wants To Avoid Judgement Day, Building AI Kill Switch
Humans have been obsessed with the idea of AI and robots taking over the world as we know it. Several tech pundits from Stephen Hawking to Elon Musk have warned us to be careful, and now Google is working on a kill switch to avoid judgement day terminator style. If you haven't watched Terminator then you must be living under a rock. The movie follows the story of John Connor who is sent back in time to stop Skynet, the world's first super computer with a mind of its own that later conquers the world waging a war to terminate humans from the surface of the earth.
