Here\u2019s what Wright said about Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey Wright gives his take on AI<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In his <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/jeffrey-wright-highest-2-lowest-interview\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:recent interview with Collider;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">recent interview with Collider<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/guides\/news\/2022919-the-batman-2-star-shares-exciting-photo-update-for-dc-movie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jeffrey Wright;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Jeffrey Wright<\/a> touched on many topics. Some were related to his work, others to his philosophy, but he eventually addressed the growing reliance on AI. He was already part of HBO\u2019s Westworld, which explored catastrophic ideas linked to the rise of technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWestworld was a documentary,\u201d Wright said when asked if the show was still relevant today. \u201cI think every day that becomes more and more the case. What Westworld was ultimately centered on was, yes, the technology, but more so its usage and by whom and to what end. It was a show, ultimately, about power and control by the few over the many. That\u2019s the thing that\u2019s most concerning to me \u2014 the distillation of power and wealth into the hands of an increasingly small circle of individuals. That\u2019s super dangerous,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Moreover, Wright had deeper views on this. He elaborated, \u201cI find it interesting and also concerning, too, the ways in which there\u2019s an overlap between the creeping political authoritarianism that we see not only in our country, but globally, with the kind of authoritarian intent that\u2019s built inside the companies that are producing these technologies.\u201d He added, \u201cIt\u2019s really fascinating and alarming. I think the most alarming aspect of it is the power of the technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wright called society\u2019s growing addiction \u201csuper frightening.\u201d He also said, \u201cWe\u2019re in a new and I think somewhat precarious place right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wright made it clear that he is not optimistic about an AI-led future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jeffrey Wright appears in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/guides\/news\/2022280-highest-2-lowest-release-date-time-where-to-watch\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Highest 2 Lowest;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Highest 2 Lowest<\/a>, which premieres on September 5, 2025, on Apple TV+.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/pop-culture\/news\/2023590-jeffrey-wright-ai-power-westworld\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Westworld\u2019s Jeffrey Wright Talks the Most \u2018Alarming Aspect\u2019 of AI;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Westworld\u2019s Jeffrey Wright Talks the Most \u2018Alarming Aspect\u2019 of AI<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net &#8211; Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jeffrey Wright, one of the busiest actors in recent years, sat down for an interview ahead of Spike&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":199359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[738,185,171,105936,67,132,68,26480],"class_list":{"0":"post-199358","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-artificial-intelligence","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-jeffrey-wright","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us","15":"tag-westworld"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115145677712105235","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
