August 29, 2024 is a symbolic date for artificial intelligence because, according to the movie Terminator, it marks the beginning of the end of humanity with Skynet.
MEXICO CITY.- The term Skynet has become common around the world when talking about the possibility of artificial intelligence becoming aware and fulfilling the prophecies seen in the Terminator movies, with machines wiping out humanity.
August 29, 2024 was the key date when Skynet began what is known as “Doomsday,” recounted in the movies as the day when humanity almost faced extinction.
What is Skynet?
Skynet is the artificial intelligence that plays a leading role in the Terminator film series as a military defense system for the United States.
The Skynet project was first used in the world on August 29, becoming self-aware after the military decided to activate it to try to eradicate a virus without knowing that they would unleash the potential of this artificial intelligence.
Skynet evolved into a conscious entity that decided that humanity was a threat to its very existence.
How Skynet Led to Doomsday?
On August 29, 2024, according to the movie Terminator 3, Skynet began taking control of telephone lines, satellites, and the Internet as part of its preparation to invade all the world’s systems.
A presidential call activated Skynet at the request of trying to eliminate the virus that was invading the various systems.
At 18:18 on August 29, 2024, Skynet launched an attack on humanity using the weapons that had been developed, such as missiles and nuclear bombs.
Skynet subsequently developed a wide range of killing machines, from humanoid Terminators to sophisticated defense networks and even factories to create weapons.
The chances of ending Skynet are minimal since there is no core system.
