The article celebrates the 35th anniversary of 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day,' reflecting on its prescient portrayal of artificial intelligence and its relevance today.

The piece highlights how contemporary audiences now live alongside AI technologies and engage in discussions about human oversight of autonomous systems.
