My son and I went to see the movie Tron: Ares, this past week. I was excited to see this 2025 sequel, because the original Tron movie from 1982 is a classic and one of my ’80s sci-fi technology favorites along with the movie War Games.
Without ruining the plot for readers, the 2025 Tron, the latest installment in the franchise, flips the script on the 1982 version. Instead of a human entering into a computer and facing various tests and adventures, a computer “AI agent” comes to life and enters our real world. There are plenty of interesting twists and turns in the movie, and I actually thought the movie was just OK overall. To be honest, I liked the original better.
But this blog is about some of the areas I started thinking about related to the movie’s themes. And the clearest example of a lesson from Tron: Ares is that an AI agent can go rogue and not obey clear instructions.
I wondered: Could that really happen in the future? Or, more pertinent, is it happening now with AI agents?
