Week #6- Ex Machina- AI

This week for a different class, I had to watch Ex Machina and it was all about AI. It was actually a really good movie. I didn't think I would like it very much, but it gave me a better idea of what AI actually is. In this movie, it shows a guy that builds a robot, actually many robots, that are very human like. When they don't have clothes on they definitely look like robots and not human, but when they had clothes on, you wouldn't even have been able to tell that they were robots. The robot, Ava, had human level intelligence and human level emotions, which was honestly kind of scary because she is clearly not human.

*SPOILER ALERT*

She and the student, Caleb, who is working with the guy who created Ava, have some real romantic emotions for one another. Caleb eventually finds out that the creator of robots, Nathan, has a bunch of other ones in his bedroom and its actually super creepy to see them, but he tries to take control of this guys house. Nathan's house was so technologically advanced that you can't go anywhere without a key card and so Caleb's plan was to take over the system and make it so that Ava and himself could leave the house. So in the Ava ends up killing Nathan and one of the other robots and she left the house because she got Nathans key card. So I'm not too sure how this movie makes me feel about AI because on one hand, they can help out humans a lot and help do good things for humans and on the other hand, they can be harmful and want to kill you, haha. But of course, it is just a movie, so I do think that AI is helpful for humans and it could really help us in the long run.
