AI Is Inevitable and Looks Like Jared Leto

The new film, *Tron: Ares*, centers on a conflict between two tech company CEOs vying for control of the future. One CEO is pushing forward with artificial intelligence, hoping it will be a force for good – a cautiously optimistic outlook, to say the least. The film essentially accepts that AI is inevitable, but suggests we can only hope it will be friendly, and that it will take the form of Jared Leto. Leto plays Ares, a highly advanced program created by Julian Dillinger (played by Evan Peters), a cynical character who has taken over his family’s company. His mother, Elisabeth (Gillian Anderson, who seems to be enjoying her role), is a strong and determined leader. The film, directed by Joachim Rønning, depicts a fierce competition between Dillinger Systems and Flynn’s ENCOM to lead the AI revolution. It’s a somewhat unsettling thought that the fate of humanity might rest with either a defense contractor or a gaming company.
