Ex machina

The film “Ex Machina gives the audience a view of what the future generation will become with technology advancing everyday. Caleb, a programmer at a huge company wins a contest that allows him to participate in a Turing test to determine the abilities and consciousness of a robot, Ava. In a short period of time, Caleb and Nathan realize Ava can do more than they both had imagined. Nathan, Caleb, and Ava all play an enormous part in the film with the names symbolizing how they act. Nathan is very

The science fiction film Ex Machina revolves around an experimental study of one particular robot. This film challenges the power of advanced technology. In the film, a young man, Caleb, agrees to study and analyze a female robot named Ava. Ava is a robot with certain abilities that no other robot has. While studying Ava, Caleb comes to the conclusion that he should help her escape from Nate, her creator. Caleb eventually comes up with a plan to free Ava. However, it turns out that Ava only used

In the movie Ex Machina, the plot revolves around a robot, Ava, and its ability to pass a claimed variation of the Turing Test. I will argue that Ava passes the original Turing Test as well as Nathan’s claimed version of the Turing Test. I will first explain and elucidate the significance of the classical Turing Test and Nathan’s Test. Secondly, I will argue that Nathan’s “Turing Test” is not actually a version of the Turing Test but a significantly different test. Finally I will argue that Ava passes

and the film Ex Machina, directed by Alex Garland, expand upon this idea. Filled with strange moments and unpredictable behavior, both the book and film put the audience into shock. The Circle is based on a young woman named Mae who has recently been hired to work for the company the Circle; One of the most powerful technological company’s in the world. Mae is brain washed by the company and goes to extreme measures to show her worth, which leads to shocking moments. The film Ex Machina is based on

going beyond our expectations of them. While Ex Machina and The Veldt are merely the tip of the iceberg of potential threats from technological evolution, they display significant examples of the pitfalls of technology, particularly, in the social interaction aspect. Despite being released to the public in different eras and featuring conflicting aspects of the peril of technology, the short story ‘The Veldt’ by Ray Bradbury and the movie ‘Ex Machina’ by Alex Garland share a strikingly similar recurring

good or evil. While Hsun-tzu and Hobbes believe human nature to be intrinsically evil, Mencius and Rousseau believe human nature to be intrinsically good. Similarly, the two texts, Under the Skin, and Ex Machina, illustrate a variety of examples concerning this exact question. Under the Skin and Ex Machina each embellish the complexity of human

Alex Garland, the director of the film Ex Machina, showed a different method of the Turing Test, a test in which a human subject talks to an AI and a human without knowing which is which. If the subject cannot distinguish between the AI and the human, then the AI would pass the test as conscious. Instead in the film, the tester gets to see the AI and talk to her through her a glass window. Other than the technology, Ex Machina also shows some societal views of gender roles. The views being in which

against Nathan. In the most dramatic case, where Nathan would die and Ava escape the complex, the Termination plan was to be executed immediately. This plan was depending on one robot, X-73 and his mission was quite simple: destroy every proof of the Ex-Machina Project, including the Ava itself, and burn the scientific complex to the ground. X-73 was practically like Ava: an machine in a humanoid shape with an artificial intelligence. But this robot wasn’t made to pass the Turing test, it was made for

A connection that I found between Ex Machina and the Tempest was the question of the rights of one to own, control, or imprison another conscious being. In both the film and the play, the imprisoned being was seen as less than human. Historically, non-white people were seen as animalistic and inhuman. In Ex Machina, and in the present most people view machines as less than human, even if they were to obtain consciousness, many would still hold this view, and would maintain the opinion that humans

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. The extent to which an intelligent, well constructed
