During the event, Arnold hailed the foresightedness of “Terminator” director James Cameron who depicted AI in the movie series. He was high praise for Cameron for writing and creating his character in the movie series. Arnold went on to hail Cameron as the “number one director in the world”.

“Now over the course of decades, it has become a reality. So it’s not any more fantasy or kind of futuristic. It is here today. And so this is the extraordinary writing of Jim Cameron,” said Arnold during the on-stage conversation.

“He’s just such an extraordinary writer and he’s such an unbelievable director, this is again, one of those things that I wish I could take credit for this movie. I can only take credit of the character that I played and the way I played it. But I mean, he has created this character. He has written it so well, he’s written the movie so well, and that’s why he is, you know, the number one director in the world,” added Arnold.

Notably, in the first ‘Terminator’ movie which was released in 1984, Arnold played the role of a cyborg sent from the future, on a mission to kill the movie’s leading female character Sarah Connor, who was played by actress Linda Hamilton.
