As technology rapidly advances, the notion of artificial intelligence is becoming less of a science fiction pipe dream, and more of a reality for our future. In his film, Ex Machina, Alex Garland takes a thoughtful approach to the question of what it is to be an artificially conscious being. Throughout the movie, Ava demonstrates many human-like behaviors, yet nothing to indicate that she is clearly conscious. Nathan's ultimate test for Ava's sentience is whether she develops any actual feelings
Ex Machina begins with a man, Caleb, sitting in front of his computer at work and discovering he won a contest to visit the company’s CEO, Nathan, for a week. The way this first scene is shot shows a connection to and reliance on technology, and a disconnect from real human interaction.

Caleb has his earphones in and
After watching Ex Machina, there was a specific scene that caught my attention. During a scene, the main characters Caleb and Ava, or A1, were in the middle of a session. Ava begins to ask Caleb multiple, straight to the point questions. She even noticed that he was getting uncomfortable and commented on that. After she told Caleb to wait there with his eyes clothes.

I choose the movie “Ex Machina” for this assignment. It is British science fiction film released in 2015.

Ex Machina challenges our ability to make sense of someone else’s mind. The intersection of AI, gender, social structures, and philosophy are inseparable and provoke a lot of reactions. So much of the movie was about the male gaze, female form, female figure, and much more. When you consider the larger text, we quickly landed on male fear of female power. In this case, sexuality is used to manipulating men, which is a central part of the plot. We are stuck in this female AI cycle and it reinforces
In film, Ex Machina, the plot revolves around a robot, Ava, and its ability to pass the Turing Test. More importantly, the film raises the question of whether or not Ava is conscious. I will argue that Ava is conscious. To do this, I will first define and explain what consciousness is.

Then, since consciousness can only be physically understood, we can only use behavior type

Be that as it may, Ava's simply the most recent in a long queue of counterfeit enchantresses, lady friends and moms. Why are such a significant number of reasoning machines female? The main female robot, ostensibly, was the enchantress Maria in the 1927 film Metropolis — who likewise happens to be one of the principal portrayals of robots, full
gender depiction in Ex Machina. The existing conversation among scholars is that the movie is sexist and portrays women in a negative light. I think this is an interesting question to ask. Your essay has a clear “they say—I ask” thought movie. I was able to see that the scholars see an issue with gender in the movie, and then you ask what can be done to fix it.
