An Analysis of The Representation of Artificial Intelligence In Modern Science Fiction Cinema

Abstract

In this project I am going to analyze different representations of artificial intelligence in three science fiction films: I, Robot, Her and The Matrix Trilogy. The approach to the analysis will heavily rely on the works of contemporary thinkers related to the subject. It will not criticize or question the representation of AI based on current and past advances in the field. In the following chapters as I progress in my analysis, I am going to apply Nick Bostrom’s categorization for artificial superintelligence.
