A.I. Artificial Intelligence is a 2001 science-fiction drama directed by Steven Spielberg. The movie was based on a
Steven Spielberg directed the science fiction drama A.I. Artificial Intelligence in 2001. The short tale "Supertoys
Last All Summer Long" by Brian Aldiss served as the inspiration for the film. Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law,
Frances O'Connor, and William Hurt are the movie's stars.

The film is set in a futuristic setting where the world is trying to combat climate change and its effects. They have
come up with all possible solutions, one of which was controlling overpopulation by having a strict policy on
reproducing. When a couple wants to have a child, they must apply for a license to have one. This rule gave way to
the idea of producing a child , like robot that provides genuine love for its parents. The first of this kind was given to
a couple who had a son with an incurable disease and was currently in cryostasis. The robot served as a substitute
for their son to provide emotional love to the mother as she was always worried because of her real son. Although
the child-like robot eventually becomes their child, unexpected events have happened that led the robot to question
its existence and discover where it truly belongs.

The movie started with a narration from Professor Hobby saying that creating an artificial being has been the dream
of a man since the birth of science. And One thing that is the same with the movie and real-life was the evident
depletion of natural resources. In the film, they have come up with the strict control of human reproduction that only
allows licensed couples to have children. Can't we live in peace with robots? But however intelligent an A.I. can be,
it will never change the fact that humans created it, and I think what we created reflected ourselves.

There are three main issues raised in this movie - the moral responsibility of us humans to artificially intelligent
machines that we created, what abilities a robot should have to be considered an equal with humans, and why we
can't peacefully co-exist with robots. And in The movie started with Professor Hobby proposing that an A.I. can be
capable of feeling the love - the kind of love that a child has for its parent. These are the abilities that a robot should
have to be considered equal to humans. As Monica imprints on David, he starts to love Monica as his mother, but
she abandons David when her real son miraculously recovers from his disease.
This is where the question about our moral responsibilities to Als we created must be answered.

Since this film is a science fiction drama and was set in an era where the technology is advanced enough for making
A.l.s, metal buildings, flying robots, modem cars, and other unrealistic things we could achieve with technology, the
visual animation or CGI throughout the film is surprisingly good considering that it was produced in the early 2000s.
in Another thing that made the movie so marvelous was the sound effects and color palette used a film with an idea
like this was produced in 2001. This movie will undoubtedly be one of my favorites. It is definitely worth the watch
For Analysis Conclusion )

1. Yes because people have been fascinated by artificial creatures for a very long time. Since we have
them, we've thought about how lifelike sculptures would act if they were actually alive. More recently,
our perceptions of how well we believe computers perform specific activities have influenced our
beliefs about how well robots might function. AI intelligence will surpass human intelligence since it is
able to learn, which indicates that it is advancing in intelligence (in 2013 AI was about the same
intelligence as a 4 year old). By 2029, artificial intelligence is anticipated to match human intelligence
at full maturity.

2. should licensed parents, in my opinion, as doing so would help to reduce population. The population
increase and economic progress in India are causing a number of severe environmental catastrophes
The environment of a growing nation like India is threatened by the expansion and intensification of
agriculture, the unchecked growth of urbanization and industrialization, and the deterioration of
natural ecosystems The growth of our population trends has substantially altered land-use patterns
and negatively impacted India's forest ecology, along with the consequent need for food, energy, and
shelter. One of the effects of population growth is poverty, and the way that people live in poverty
significantly contributes to environmental degradation, whether via the need for fuel for cooking or
for survival.

3. In human employment, robots frequently take the place of humans. In a capitalist system, for
instance, business owners must take all necessary steps to boost earnings. Robots are the ideal
candidates for the job due to their ruthless effectiveness. A robot that can work continuously for 24
hours per day, seven days per week, simply beats humans in every manner. People may be forced to
leave careers they have devoted their entire lives to due to this reality. And the Human contact will
deteriorate as robots become increasingly commonplace. In any public space, there will be a throng
of people hooked to their screens. We run the risk of forgetting what it's like to engage with people in
the real world. Robots must exhibit emotional realism in order to be classified as humans.

4. The film A.I. demonstrates how the human race has become lazy and now needs support just to
complete daily tasks. Everything in life begins innocently enough, but then the "mad scientist" appears
and questions every assumption about what should or shouldn't be done in a certain situation. The
realization is that we should, not that we should become so advanced that we lose sight of our place in
the bigger picture. Do we outlaw all births just because it would be more efficient to have a child in a
pod or be able to produce one? It demonstrates how, if we only think about how much money we can
make or how much more convenient something will be for us, we will make poor decisions.
Yes, Since robots and other artificial agents cannot be held morally accountable, it is up to people to
prepare for and stop any negative effects of the adoption of AI and robotics. Robots need to display
reliance. " They are "human-tethered" artefacts, and they hold that accountability cannot be moved to
the artefacts since human designers' and developers' efforts are intrinsically tied to the actions and
outputs of robots and computer systems. Consider a door opener as an illustration.
On the other hand, if the door was opened by a sensor that detected the approach of a human, the
mechanical door opener would not be considered to have done a good deed.
