Star Wars: The Role Of AI In The Matrix

In the 1984 film “The Terminator” a robotic assassin is sent from the future to kill a woman whose son will play a pivotal role in the upcoming war against the machines. This is simply a fictional story told for the entertainment of millions at the box office, but what if it could offer some insight into the future? Artificial Intelligence is growing rapidly and will be a major threat to humanity once it arrives. Some of the greatest minds of the 21st century, such as Stephen Hawking, think that the world should hold off on creating super intelligent AI until a means of controlling or shutting it down is in place. If the AI concludes that it no longer wants to share a planet with humans, humanity would have no defense.

Artificial Intelligence is the taking over of machines to do tasks that would normally require a human to do. The idea of artificial intelligence has been around for years, appearing in movies and television shows to show what the future might bring. Artificial intelligence is becoming closer to a reality and now society must question if it should have a role in society. Artificial intelligence has many flaws at the moment making it impractical for use until society can address the issues facing it like the loss of jobs and how to control the use of AI.

When someone brings up the term “artificial intelligence”, a variety of connotations tend to arise, connotations that often are unfair or unrepresentative of the true real-world applications of such a term. Due to the incidentally fear-mongering nature of the media, artificial intelligence can refer to something as basic as a robotic arm in a factory, as well as the implied extinction and/or enslavement of the human race as caused by robo-revolution. As of today, however, when applied in the world of modern technology, artificial intelligence is defined as any innovation that performs a task usually completed by humans. Of course, with this definition, artificial intelligence holds the potential for both societal harm and benefit, and its fate

Artificial intelligence has been a hot topic since the invention of artificial intelligence. Many scientist and humans, in general, believe that artificially intelligent robots would want to rule the world and overthrow the human race. Something as simple as Siri or Corona could get too smart, and eventually, want to get rid of humans. Many sci-fi shows are based on this ideology. However, based off of this article by Tim Oates, artificial intelligence is one problem we should not worry about. In his article, Oates was able to relieve everyone’s anxieties they may have had, and he did so persuasively. Oates used many different rhetoric strategies to do so, but overall he used pathos, sarcasm/irony, and ethos He was persuasive in communicating his argument because of use of pathos, sarcasm/irony, and ethos.

Within other science fiction films that involve machines or androids exhibiting artificial intelligence, such as Alex Proyas’ “I, Robot” and David Michael Latt’s “The Terminator,” robots are generally depicted as “good guys gone bad.” The creation of these robots would be intended to benefit the world and aid human beings. Yet, due to their evolutionary superiority, these robots would soon become hostile by betraying their human counterparts and attempting to take over the world. Meanwhile, “Ex Machina” differs in that its storyline involves an android’s attempt at manipulation through the use of seduction and emotion rather than brute force. This unique premise already instills a sense of curiosity. From the start of the film, Caleb’s restricted access to the facility and his bind to a nondisclosure agreement triggers feelings of uncertainty and mystery within the main character and the viewers. As characters’ hidden motives and beliefs slowly unravel, the viewers’ trust in certain characters consistently waver. This emotional engagement, combined with an uncommon storyline, is what makes “Ex Machina” a thrilling and unpredictable

Pertaining to the article regarding artificial intelligence, there are numerous beneficial possibilities to aid in U.S. military defense and other necessary involvements. For instance, perfected facial recognition will allow the judgement of crimes to be made easier and less time-consuming. However, there are negative possibilities that tend to create concern in artificial intelligence; with this intention, artificial intelligence is now able to manipulate media such as audio or video to make decisions; if they are able to manipulate their decisions, these robots can threaten or cause damage to the United States’ military alliance. Furthermore, the possibility of these events may occur in the United States or any more developed countries’ military facility or even a battlefield. Although scientists and innovators are tampering with artificial intelligence; if overdeveloped, it is unknown what might occur to U.S. citizens. The journalist presents the significance of this event as life-threatening and a possible ending to human existence, this event is written to raise awareness or possibly turn away to another direction other than artificial intelligence.

When it comes to using Artificial Intelligence, one should be able to recognize their limits in doing so. In the story Marionettes Inc, and the movie, Ex Machina, both mediums displayed a clear and concise message about Artificial Intelligence, that is, when you create or utilize an AI robot with human-like qualities, there is always a possibility that it may turn against their rightful owner or creator, and will ultimately lead to their downfall.

What’s the first thing you think of when someone says, “Artificial Intelligence”? The Terminator? Perhaps the Matrix trilogy? Ever since the inception of the computer, science fiction has brought us scenes of super-intelligent computers who want to take over all of mankind. In reality, Artificial Intelligence is still in it’s infancy, and has done much more good for humans than bad. Over time, people’s perspective of AI has changed drastically. We have gone from thinking that AI will take over the world and obliterate mankind to thinking about all the benefits we can get from AI. The change in people’s perspective lately towards a more positive view of AI has boosted the production, sales, and advancement of home automation and AI, making

It is an easily accepted truth that technology has irrevocably shaped humanity and what we, as humans, view our limitations to be. Each day, however, the inherent boundaries of what our limitations are as humans are seemingly pushed further and further into the realm of technology, causing humanity and technology to overlap and inviting the idea of more advanced technology and advanced humanity to become something that is possible and plausible. The idea of the AI, artificial intelligence, is often cited as the natural next step in the evolution of humanity and Ex Machina, directed by Alex Garland, examines and identifies the humanity even within the seemingly ‘age of technology’ that is presented to us, and in the world which we live today.

Society today is greatly influenced by technology and the impact it has had within the past 20 years. One of the largest breakthroughs, though, is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The technology associated with A.I. has greatly developed in the past years, and is only making devices smarter. When someone mentions technology, or even the technological breakthroughs the world has gone through recently, many people go straight to smartphones and computers. A.I. is often overlooked, or put into a general category of "technology". Yet, artificial intelligence is something that should we not be so quick to dismiss, and should be something that gets people talking and even excited for what the future holds.

This lack of affinity constitutes the basis of the post-apocalyptic society’s ideological values towards the progression of artificial intelligence given the technology’s progression towards a more humanistic appearance but inherent lack of humanistic qualities. Dick’s perception of this trend in the advancement of artificial intelligence serves as a foresight into that of our own society- the notion of which Mori explores in his discussion of the “uncanny valley”.

Terminator and The Matrix two of the most watched and futuristic movies. These movies contain artificial intelligence to solve life-threatening problems. In those movies the robot A.I. takes over and becomes the antagonist of the film. New technology that is being developed is not worth all of the critical dangers and risks that come with it such as, rendering the human race obsolete, unintended side effects, and is very harmful.

In television and film, we see the rise of the similar theme of a once reliable and seemingly harmless machine bringing the earth and mankind to the bottom of the hearty. Films like The Omega Man(1971) and television shows like Star Trek(1966-1969) and The Twilight Zone(1959-1964) have all tackled the similar issue of evil artificial intelligence. With the amount of revenue this theme collected, it became a crutch in the entertainment industry as it’s appeal to fear would rake in large

From the moment humans are born, they are shaped by the world around them and chances are that the media plays a huge role in shaping their identity. To the music they listen to, to fashion trends, to their beliefs, the news outlets and television shows could be held responsible. In 2004, the media had a much greater influence over American citizens because of the historical context of the time. Alex Proyas’ film I, Robot had taken advantage of the fact that people had become so easily influenced by the media. Set in the year 2035, a robotics company named US Robotics has engulfed American life to the point where every household has a robot, and citizens have become dependent on their help. Sonny, a robot programmed with the ability to think, feel and have dreams enables a robot-fearing detective named Del Spooner to see through the lies of the corporation. Through the use of Sonny’s character development, subtle advertisement sequences, and distinct film choices such as the context of specific scenes, Proyas is able to portray the suppression of thought and individuality in a futuristic society told what to think and feel through US Robotics media propaganda. Through this, Proyas is indirectly criticizing the 2004 audience in which was being told what to think and how to feel through the various media outlets that would report on the political campaigns happening at the time as well as the fear of the ongoing war with Iraq.

In today’s fast paced technologically savvy society, everyone wants the most advanced technology, this thirst for the next big thing is what makes technology fields the fastest changing and growing sectors. In countless movies, television shows, and novels, there is a representation of a humanoid character that is in fact a machine functioning and learning new skills with artificial intelligence. The problem with these shows is that the representation of modern day artificial intelligence is largely skewed, these machines have personalities and emotions making them relatable to humans when they are still just a very elaborate computer program. Artificial intelligence is the cognitive ability to solve problems, recognize patterns, and have
