Movies about artificial intelligence may be pure fiction, exaggerated, or suggest things that might never happen, but they are all based on a real technology that is still in development, and that has even led men like Elon Musk to express concern about what it is.. What could happen if we don’t control it from now on?
We have no idea what the future may hold for artificial intelligence at this point, but many people and experts have been curious about it for a while, which has sparked a variety of theories and proposals that, in turn, have inspired some of the most unsettling cinematic works.
We already have robot dogs that dance, technology that can read your sleep patterns and alert you when to get up, family voice-impersonation apps, and even smart assistants that can tell you the weather, movie times, and even try to tell you jokes. All of these innovations will only get better as time goes on.
What is going to happen? Science can do extraordinary things, and there are already some movies that propose scenarios, inventions, and trailers that aren’t exactly innocent or good for humans (and yes, Her with Joaquin Phoenix may seem romantic to you, but is it really?).
