Kayla’s Week 5 Response

Posted by Kayla Ye on

The aim of achieving the perfect way to create artificial intelligence, an AI, is one that many people wish to achieve and one that society is anticipating. The movie Ex Machina (2015) explores the development of a somewhat “perfect” AI Ava, who draws parallels to a robot that exists today, Sophia. In the movie, Ava’s creator Nathan mentioned something that society now days all believe to be true. That is, we are all being watched through our screens and everything we do can be tracked. No one is safe from the devices we all have become depend on. One thing this movie brought to light was the idea that we all expect AI’s to be the perfect human. In the movie, Caleb is questioned by Ava as to what would happen to her if she were to fail the test in which he responds that she might be switched off. Ava then asks Caleb if he, as a human, has someone to test him and if he fails, he will be switched off. With some who fear that one day, technology would be the end of humanity, why is there a strive for the creation of something too perfect for society to handle? Its clear that the human species will cease to exist because there will always be something a robot cannot do, so whats the purpose of creating something that is better than us in every way. Towards the end of the movie, Caleb starts to question if he himself is an AI because it seems that everyone aside from Nathan is an AI. It brings up the question of whether or not there exists and AI in society today. Maybe there is a Kyoto in society but theyre made so perfectly that we don’t even realize it.

After watching Ex Machina I think it is very interesting movie. Although I hear about the AI but the movie make it seem more like human that’s my first movie I watch related to the AI. And in the movie AI Ava can feel Celeb’s emotion which it very seem impossible. As we all know how could it be possible for machine to become a human that feel other’s emotion in that case it seem to be the AI can replace human being. But I can’t truthy tell if she understand the emotion of people. One thing that I’m sure about is that she want to run always from the lab and let other human being helping her which is kind of interesting point that present in the movie and  there is human helping her. I wonder the what did the creator of this AI did to her and what kind of code did the creator put into her make her have the idea and the concept for escaping. The creator of this AI must be so smart that the AI itself have it’s own idea and thinking about itself. I wander what kind of idea the author of the movie trying to express, is it that the AI are too smart will replace the human or the AI is also need freedom. Therefore, I conclude that AI for the future development if they are as smart as human or better then should we have put the code to prevent it to take over that will be a question to think about before anything. And we should also think about what should we put AI for and if they are smarter will they rewrite the code. So AI will be our friend or not will be the question we need to think about.
