Mechanically, no, technology has not caught up to make M3GAN in real life, both Palmer and Wilson said. But the AI systems that power M3GAN in the film are already in the works, Palmer and WIlson said. AI already harms people "every day," Palmer said, albeit in less visible ways than, say, M3GAN knocking a young bully into oncoming traffic. Social media addiction, he said, is powered by AI, as is the "prolific dissemination of misinformation. "Social media just wants to dominate your attention and will say or do anything it can to maximize those interactions."
