Bicentennial Man
Some individuals fear the concept of being overrun by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the future as technology keeps progressing but in the film "Bicentennial Man" it shows the public another possibility of something that can occur with the on-going development of AI consciousness. I found the movie very interesting and it captivated me how it incorporated ideas to make it comedic while still displaying beneficial ideas for the production of AI in the form of a human with human characteristics. The movie was able to give us an insight of a probability that AI robots walking among our society could serve as us favorable to perform our daily tasks and may even give us more time in abundance to do the things we like to do not only chores that we must complete. The film revolves around an AI robot named Andrew who instead of being normal and obeying orders of household chores, he is unique and grasps new ideas of how to feel and think in a different way than all the other robots while still performing tasks that it is commanded to do. Andrew adapts to these unique features that he has and in doing so he begins to realize that he would much rather be considered a human with human features than to be a robot with an eternal lifestyle. He finds an engineer to change up his outer features in order to look more human where he can express his feelings with his one of a kind face and body type, but this not enough for the court to consider him a human being because he has an infinite life and this would cause envy in other human beings who must die as the cycle of life goes. So he also changes this "unusual feature" but before he is announced a human--he sadly passes away. This goes to show us that future robotics may not want to do us harm but instead be more like us and will give up anything to be considered a normal human being and walk among the environment without any criticisms. In addition to wanting to be more like us, AI could also provide us with better improvements in medical research like Andrew did in the film.
