STAR WARS on AI: "If droids could think, there'd be none of us"


George Lucas's film comment on A.I. was in Star Wars Episode .

In it, the character Obi-Wan Kenobi is talking to an old friend, who is helping him to crack a crime case.

Obi-Wan has a killers dart used for assassination in his hand.

After consulting the Jedi's AI system, the dart remained unclassified- it's origin unknown.

But after consultation with an old friend, who has done some laps around the galaxy, he discovered the answer.

Or more accurately, his friend did, and the friend lauded his superiority to the droid (or AI) intelligence.

In response to this Obi-Wan said:

If droids could think, they'd be none of us.
