Turing Test Movie Analysis

Turing, a physicalist, believed that artificial intelligence could be achieved in the future. Turing argued that the mind was merely due to the physical aspects of the brain and so a machine could one day be created that has a mind of its own, i.e. artificial intelligence. He created a test called the Turing Test to determine whether a machine has artificial intelligence. In the Turing Test, an interrogator asks two subjects a series of questions. One of the subjects is a person, the other is the computer. The goal is for the person to imitate a computer and the computer to imitate the person. If the interrogator is fooled into thinking that the computer is the human then the computer, according to Turing, is concluded to have the ability to think and thus, have a mind. Turing argued that machines passing the Turing Test were sufficient for ascribing thought.

Ex Machina goes above and beyond when it comes to science fiction and philosophy, if anything the movie leaves us with more question than answers. In the movie we are introduced to Caleb, a person we think has won the lottery only to find out he was chosen to be a participant for a Turing Test against AI, Ava, to see if she can pass as human. We are also introduced to Nathan who is the AI’s father of some sorts, he is wild, crazy genius that throughout the movie we are never sure if he is trustable or not. Nathan represents humanity at its darkest state; he is a self-destructive drunk who seeks his own demise. When he talks about the future and how the robots he created will take over the world, he talks about with awe like he can’t wait for

Despite just how terrible and messed up all of it was, Ava couldn’t help but feel her arousal growing by the minute. Her

Even with the correct programming a computer cannot freely think for itself, with its own conscious thought. John Searle is a philosopher of mind and language at UC Berkeley. Searle’s Chinese Room Argument is against the premise of Strong AI. He argues that even though a computer may have the ability to compute the use of syntax (Weak AI), a computer could not be able to understand the meaning behind the words it is communicating. Semantics convey both intentional and un-intentional content in communication. Though a computer could be programmed to recognize which words would convey the correct meaning of a symbol. This,

I think Eliza pass the test. Within the base of script, Eliza can give responses for non-directional questions. Though Eliza can’t truly understand the conversation, it can make illusion of understanding. In Turing Test, if a machine can make interrogator believe it is a human, it passes. Eliza gives illusion of engaging in the program, which shows that it passes the Turing

The movie “Ex Machina” directed by Alex Garland portrayed what true artificial intelligence would be like and how that would affect the human race. Garland’s work with Ex Machina painted a picture on what true Artificial Intelligence would be like, a self aware, thinking, manipulative robot that have traits highly resembling human traits and character that highly resembles human character. Garland uses color in very subtle ways to add to the complexity of his masterpiece making his movie have deeper meaning. In the movie Garland uses color, in order to convey the traditional expressions of each character and the plot as a whole.

Movies and other forms of popular entertainment sources have often presented varied information and as well as misinformation about schizophrenia, most specifically in regard to its negative portrayals, which can lead to confused public opinion. In summary, majority of movies and popular entrainment media sources portrays people with schizophrenia as violent and with homicidal and suicide thoughts. In addition, most characters in these media sources are portrayed as Caucasians, males, and with supernatural abilities (Gaebel, 2011).

1. The characters are Mrs. Ortiz, Ms. Jacobs, and. Mario. Mrs. Ortiz is Mario’s mother who is telling him it is okay to hit so that he doesn’t get bullied and will make it in the real world especially since they live in a neighborhood where there is gang violence. Ms. Jacobs is Mario’s teacher who is trying to teach Mario that hitting is not the answer that using words are. Mario is the child who is hitting and pushing other children and is in this dilemma because his mother is saying one thing while the teacher is saying another.

In Ex Machina technology and its effects on humans is a very important aspect in this film. Upon Caleb 's arrival to Nathan’s research facility, he finds out that the point of his visit is to participate in testing Nathan’s creation Ava (AI android). He is told to conduct a series of interviews with Ava but does not realize what he is truly getting himself into. The strength that artificial intelligence can have over someone is unbelieveable. By spending numerous days

Then we have Nathan Bateman, the negative animus, whom whether I chose Caleb or Ava as the dreamer, would still have a negative element to him. Nathan is the CEO of Blue Book and the creator of Ava and Kyoko. From the beginning of the film, Nathan seems to have hubris and is asserting his dominance to Caleb. Additionally, Nathan treats Ava and Kyoko as inanimate objects or possessions, which is shown when he rips apart Ava’s art or when he scolds Kyoko for spilling a drink while serving Caleb and himself. Furthermore, during Ava’s escape from the research facility, Nathan unsuccessfully attempts to stop Ava and in turn breaks her arm which eventually leads to Nathan’s demise. For this behavior, Nathan is assuredly Ava’s negative animus. Finally, we have another supporting archetype.

“Her mind also interprets computer code the same way it does English, so she can hack into virtually anything that requires coding as long as she’s physically using a computer or something of the like. The gist of it is that Avery’s mind works more like a computer than a human brain,” he concluded.

This movie is based on the true story of the brilliant mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. He made remarkable advancements in the field of mathematics at a young age and had a very promising future. Unfortunately, John Nash had problems deciphering the difference between reality and hallucinations. He had a mental disorder known as Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a severe, complex illness that causes hallucinations and can affect a person’s ability to think clearly, manage feelings, make decisions, and relate to others.

What is socially appropriate? How or more so who decides what is appropriate? These questions have been asked, debated, and fought over since the dawn of civilization. The rhetor of the movie The Imitation Game integrates these questions into the true story of Alan Turing and the people around him. The rhetor allows these questions of appropriateness to be narrowed down to two very influential people in history to give these large, foundational questions a more personal touch, and for the audience to see the very personal consequence of society’s decision. Throughout the film the question of the appropriateness of differing sexual orientations, gender roles, and social norms are questioned by allowing the audience to see how these aspects have been judged in the past and the consequences of society’s decisions on a personal level.

On the surface, Dangerous Minds is a film about a teacher who helps her students to change their lives for the better. The start of the film begins with LouAnne Johnson accepting a full time teaching job at Carlmont High School. Ms. Johnson did not know that the kids she would be teaching were tough and rowdy kids that come from under-privileged backgrounds. As the film goes on, Ms. Johnson wins the hearts of her students by connecting with them and standing up for them against a resistant administration. By doing this she inspires her students to reach their full potential. By the end of the film, her students are begging her to stay for another year because she has changed their lives for the better (Smith et al., 1999). This sounds like

In this essay I will be taking an in depth look at the movie Ex Machina, and analyzing scenes of the film and look for a deeper meaning and possible foreshadowing of things to follow in the film. In the film Ex Machina, we are led to believe that the main points in the film are AI’s and testing whether they can be conscious, have emotions and basically have all the qualities and traits a human portrays. Caleb who is believed to be chosen at random by Nathan to take part in being the person to test the AI, realizes that is all, but random as Nathan had a purpose in choosing Caleb to take part in his tests. A test as to whether the AI in the film, Ava can break the communication barrier with Caleb her during sessions that Nathan had set up.
