Ex Machina

Ex Machina was a brilliant film. Artificial Intelligence portrayed that way was very interesting. It was as though it were an imminent threat in the hands of our unlikliest offenders of it’s natural law. Caleb never could wish for the chance to meet one of his idols the way he did. The scenes of luxury leading up to the meet and the kind of person Nathan was denoted to be was full of many sensations. The colors of the environment and the anticipation of a character who appears to be an up-and-coming genius led us to Nathan; whom created Ava. Our feelings about Ava our developed by Caleb and his experiences interviewing her. Which were some very intense and interesting scenes. What this scenes say about A.I. I think were pretty obvious. It wasn’t until the other autonomous beings were unearthed that my own fears played a part in the story. AI is built up of many components. Google’s search engine and it’s ability to complete searches based on phrases or even loosely translated or even relevant information is uncanny. Place that one monumental capability into a walking, seemingly nature-sustaining, entity and you have what is to the beholder a powerful tool. A self learning tool; or a weapon; or a sensitive companion as AVA proved to be the above in many situations. However, again, it wasn’t until Caleb’s assistance revealed itself to be an entity as well. Nathan in essence surrounded himself with the only controls worthy of his intelligence. Caleb was simply a hired hacker whose sole responsibility was to find the flaws in Nathan’s ultimate creations.
