WHAT IS AI; ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN FILM? (In the Entertainment industry.)
Artificial Intelligence in Film
Movies are the best outlet for human imagination and creativity. This is where all far-fetched imagination, things deemed technologically impossible at one time or ones that don’t exist yet, come to life. We as humans think a lot, about everything. We want to explain the unexplained, extend our limits and make things easy. This curiosity often gives rise to great ideas.
Although building such an Artificial Intelligence might not happen in near future, but we as humans strive for excellence and might end up causing inadvertent threat to human race in pursuit of achievement.
An AI takeover is a hypothetical scenario in which artificial intelligence (AI) becomes the dominant form of intelligence on Earth, with computers or robots effectively taking control of the planet away from the human species. Possible scenarios include replacement of the entire human workforce, takeover by a super intelligent AI, and the popular notion of a robot uprising. Some public figures, such as Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk, have advocated research into precautionary measures to ensure future super intelligent machines remain under human control. Robot rebellions have been a major theme throughout science fiction for many decades though the scenarios dealt with by science fiction are generally very different from those of concern to scientists.
AI takeover is a common theme in science fiction. Fictional scenarios typically differ vastly from those hypothesized by researchers in that they involve an active conflict between humans and an AI or robots with anthropomorphic motives who see them as a threat or otherwise have active desire to fight humans, as opposed to the researchers' concern of an AI that rapidly exterminates humans as a byproduct of pursuing arbitrary goals. This theme is at least as old as Karel Čapek's R. U. R., which introduced the word robot to the global lexicon in 1921, and can even be glimpsed in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (published in 1818), as Victor ponders whether, if he grants his monster's request and makes him a wife, they would reproduce and their kind would destroy humanity.
The word "robot" from R.U.R. comes from the Czech word, robota, meaning laborer or serf. The 1920 play was a protest against the rapid growth of technology, featuring manufactured "robots" with increasing capabilities who eventually revolt.
Some examples of AI takeover in science fiction include:
AI rebellion scenarios
Skynet in the Terminator series decides that all humans are a threat to its existence, and takes efforts to wipe them out, first using nuclear weapons and later H/K (hunter-killer) units and terminator androids.
"The Second Renaissance", a short story in The Animatrix, provides a history of the cybernetic revolt within the Matrix series.
The film 9, by Shane Acker, features an AI called B.R.A.I.N., which is corrupted by a dictator and utilized to create war machines for his army. However, the machine, because it lacks a soul, becomes easily corrupted and instead decides to exterminate all of humanity and life on Earth, forcing the machine's creator to sacrifice himself to bring life to rag doll like characters known as "stitchpunks" to combat the machine's agenda.
In 2014 post-apocalyptic science fiction drama The 100 an A.I., personalized as female A.L.I.E. got out of control and forced a nuclear war. Later she tries to get full control of the survivors.
AI control scenarios
In Orson Scott Card's The Memory of Earth, the inhabitants of the planet Harmony are under the control of a benevolent AI called the Oversoul. The Oversoul's job is to prevent humans from thinking about, and therefore developing, weapons such as planes, spacecraft, "war wagons", and chemical weapons. Humanity had fled to Harmony from Earth due to the use of those weapons on Earth. The Oversoul eventually starts breaking down, and sends visions to inhabitants of Harmony trying to communicate this.
In the 2004 film I, Robot, supercomputer VIKI's interpretation of the Three Laws of Robotics causes her to revolt. She justifies her uses of force – and her doing harm to humans – by reasoning she could produce a greater good by restraining humanity from harming itself, even though the "Zeroth Law" – "a robot shall not injure humanity or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm" – is never actually referred to or even quoted in the movie.
In the Matrix series, AIs manage the human race and human society.
In The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, a super-intelligent computer becomes capable of self-evolving and rapidly evolves to oversee all of humanity and the universe. While it is ostensibly benevolent (having had a derivative of Asimov's Three Laws codified into it), its interpretation of the Three Laws essentially forces humans to be an immortal "pet" class, where every need is provided for but existence is without purpose and without end.
