world, and humans fight desperately to survive.
2) The Stepford Wives from 1975. 202 This is an old movie that was well ahead
of its time. In this movie, the women in the small city of Stepford have
been brainwashed by a men’s club, where innovative scientists are
creating robots out of the women in town, in order to control them. In
the end, the men who conspired against the women are being killed.
This is an early example of AI. People thought this movie was quite
terrifying at the time, so much so that the film industry in 1987 decided
to make a sequel for television called The Stepford Children. Other
versions were also made later.
3) Automata from 2014, 203 starring Antonio Banderas. This is an interesting
movie in the sense that in 2044 (one year before Dr. Kurzweil says the
Singularity will become reality), robots can modify themselves and
thus become a real threat to humankind. This is a film entirely about
robots out of control.
4) Ex Machina from 2015. 204 This is my own favorite on this subject because
it gives many clues to what is going on today and what is quite likely to
happen in the near future on the subject of creating machines that
become sentient and infested with AI. From being a great asset to their
creator, they eventually turn against him, being superior to him in
intelligence, but without any emotions. Ex Machina is revealing the
truth about the purpose of AI to replace man with machine.
5) Her from 2013, 205 starring Joaquin Phoenix. This movie is about a lonely
writer who has problems with female relationships and falls in love
with an Operating System (OS), which is AI. He gets involved with
“her” on an emotional level and starts interacting with her seductive
conversations. This movie is about it being easier to deal with a robot
than to engage in a human relationship, which is exactly what is being
discussed all over the media right now, when robotic sex dolls are
widely distributed on the market. You can read more about robot sex in
an upcoming chapter.
These five examples are of course only the tip of the iceberg; there are
