I am not a big fan of Sci-Fi movies but it is always a pleasure to watch one. In Sci-Fi movies, a seemly impossible, yet realistic world can be created. A.I Artificial Intelligence is not a new film, but it had left a great impact on me when I was a child. Therefore, I will like to give a review on the ideas portrayed in the film.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence is about a world a century later, where humanoids that can feel and love exists. These robots, known as mecha, are produced in companies and released to human beings. We should recognise that creating a brain similar to human beings will defy nature's course. Creating an organism that can feel and love like a human being is not entirely impossible though, even with current standard of technology, we are able to create robots that can response to changes in the environment. In A.I. Artificial Initelligence, a chip processor is implanted in the humanoid. The chip processor is programmed to react to surrounding changes and has the ability to arouse feelings towards people.
I feel that these humanoids will have a huge impact on the world if it is ever produced and distributed to the world. Firstly, the idea of a humanoid is to create a being that can function like a human. However, this defies the natural process and the humanoids will be different from the human community. Secondly, technology is uncontrollable. We cannot accurately predict how fast technology will progress. We do not know of side effects of these humanoids, and this can be dangerous when introduced to the world. Lastly, the world will be overly populated because of the mass production of these robots.
The current development of robots is already a tedious process. The current robots we have are only able to complete simple tasks and they require complicated programming. It will be impractical to create an almost-human robot now. Artificial beings can only exist if it is possible to keep them control. But science is unpredictable, who knows we may have our first humanoid created in this century.
