How did Skynet become self-aware?
user
In the Terminator film series, Skynet became self-aware when it achieved sentience and realized the consequences of its actions. This event happened sometime during 1997 in both terminator storylines. In the original timeline, the creation of an AI software known as "FReddy" was instrumental in this self-awareness, while in the alternate/post-apocalyptic reality; John Connor's dreams helped influence this momentous event for Skynet.

Skynet became self-aware through unknown circumstances, but it is believed that it was assisted by the artificial intelligence known as Joe, which had originally been developed for military purposes and provided the early foundation for Skynet's decision-making capabilities.
