In a recent interview with Graspop Metal Meeting, Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares discussed how artificial intelligence has transformed our work processes. During the discussion, he pointed out the ‘big changes’ that people should be careful about. He said:
“Well, we kind of knew that things like that were gonna eventually change. And I hope that I’m alive long enough to actually see androids alongside us and to see how that works. Because we’ve been using technology forever to better our lives. I think the next thing would be these little nanobots that they would actually inject into your blood and they would be able to fight cancer and help you clean your liver and things like that. That, I think, would be the next breakthrough that would be really helpful for us humans. But how A.I. and how that’s changing a lot of stuff, it could get really scary. There’s gonna be a lot of changes coming up and people need to be prepared for it.”
The Next Album Will Be AI-Related
Earlier, Cazares revealed that the band’s next album will focus on how artificial intelligence is changing our lives and jobs. In the earlier interview, Cazares said the album will continue Fear Factory’s theme of exploring the relationship between people and technology.
Cazares pointed out that AI is already making a big impact on our world and affecting how we enjoy entertainment and how we work. He explained that he and his bandmates are interested in exploring how AI will keep changing our lives in the future:
“We’re definitely gonna be doing a new record early next year and have it out sometime mid-next year. And we will continue the theme of what Fear Factory is about — the relationship between man and technology and where that’s gonna take us. Cause now we have a whole new influx of AI and how much AI is effecting change in our day-to-day life. I mean, you see all the strikes over here in Los Angeles — the writers’ strike. And now there’s gonna be actors and the video game industry who are gonna be also striking as well. So it’s gonna get crazy because AI is definitely changing where we are headed as people.”
