What did Hollywood understand about artificial intelligence before chatbots, agents, and generative models became part of our daily lives?
In this episode, we explore MovieMaker Magazine’s ranking of ten great stories about AI: A.I. Artificial Intelligence, The Artifice Girl, Her, M3gan, Black Mirror: San Junipero, RoboCop, Blade Runner, The Matrix, The Terminator, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Rather than simply repeating the list, we connect each film to real problems facing AI today: anthropomorphism and emotional bonds, autonomy, decision delegation, digital identity, human oversight, synthetic content, algorithms as intermediaries, autonomous agents, permissions, and goal alignment.
The conclusion: many movies exaggerated the technology, but they were right to show that risk depends not only on how intelligent a machine is, but also on the power we give it, the objectives we define, and who remains responsible when we automate a decision.
