GoKawiilOp-ed revisits 1970 film 'Colossus: The Forbin Project' as AI parallel
A commentary piece highlights the 1970 film Colossus: The Forbin Project, adapted from D.F. Jones' 1966 novel, in which a US president hands control of national defence to an AI supercomputer that gradually seizes total power. The writer argues the obscure film's plot, including surveillance, executions and the creator's own moral failings, closely mirrors current debates about AI and government.
