In the movie a super-rich malevolent megalomaniac, attempts to take control of human free-will via implants and the ubiquitous 'smart' phone. In a way his deranged intelligence, coupled with his immense technological power, is a metaphor for the fear of AI and AGI gone array. We also see low Earth orbit satellite destruction, remote control of vehicles and a lot more techno gadgetry much of it spoofing James Bond movies. Kingsman: The Secret Service I loved it.a spy spoof, with Colin Firth as one of the leading characters! But, there are links to the discussion about technology's capability to transform/change humanity. Last week I took myself off to see another movie. There are not only potential advantages, but also perhaps major risks associated with the development of artificial intelligence and super-intelligence.What may have been considered scifi ten or more years ago, is no longer a tenant of the impossible. These discussions are taking place at the very pointy end of scientific and philosophical research *.
Īnd, another movie is called Ex Machina directed by Alex Garland.īoth tell tales of artificial general intelligence, robots and human reaction to these.īoth movies come at a time when serious discussions about artificial intelligence and artificial general intelligence are occurring around the world. There are a couple of movies coming out soon that I am really looking forward to seeing. One is called Chappie from District 9 director Neil Blomkamp.
