Charlie Brooker, the creator of Black Mirror, recently shared his concerns about the future and what we should be paying attention to. As the highly anticipated sixth season of the Netflix series approaches, Brooker takes the opportunity to offer us a warning about the societal issues that lie ahead. In a previous update, he expressed his disappointment with the capabilities of ChatGPT, an AI language model. Now, he sheds light on what worries him in the short and long term.
Brooker’s immediate concern is the rise of disinformation and misinformation. He refers to a recent viral image of the Pope wearing a puffer jacket, which was generated by AI. The terrifying aspect is when such content is weaponized, and the gatekeepers who have the power to control it either don’t care or actively encourage it. Brooker fears the consequences of people acting out of fear and ignorance, making it one of the biggest challenges we will face in the next decade. Furthermore, he highlights the ongoing issues of climate change and nuclear weapons as other significant concerns for the future.
As we eagerly anticipate the return of Black Mirror, let’s take a closer look at what the sixth season has in store. The star-studded cast includes Aaron Paul, Anjana Vasan, Annie Murphy, Auden Thornton, Ben Barnes, Clara Rugaard, Daniel Portman, Danny Ramirez, Himesh Patel, John Hannah, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Monica Dolan, Myha’la Herrold, Paapa Essiedu, Rob Delaney, Rory Culkin, Salma Hayek Pinault, Samuel Blenkin, and Zazie Beetz.
