Possible future of artificial intelligence, analogies in films.

The problem of artificial intelligence has been agitating scientists since 19 century. It’s not invented yet, but many films that tell about its creation and spread have already appeared.

In 1999 film “The Matrix” came out and became a big event in the world of cinema and fantasy. The film was based on a theory that the Matrix (computer system) dominates the world and needs people only to get energy. And such or similar way of evolution is really possible.

The rate of technological innovation is doubled every ten year; sphere of software is developed even more rapidly. People are at the beginning of era of creating independent artificial intelligence that will exceed abilities of human mind. If such artificial intelligence starts develop itself, new and rational machines will appear. And there is an important question, how two different types of rational creatures will coexist. Here are possible ways:
1. Dominance of people.
2. Coexistence with minimum of contacts.
3. Synthesis of human and artificial intelligence (creation of cyborgs or supermen).
4. Dominance of artificial intelligence (this way is in the film).

Whatever it will be, great transformations are in store for people.

Here is a list of other films that raise a question of artificial intelligence.

· Star Wars

· Artificial intelligence

· Blade Runner

· Bicentennial Man

· The Thirteenth Floor

· Transformers

· The Terminator

· I, Robot

Of course, it’s not everything. But in most such films people and robots can’t coexist quietly. And it should make us thoughtful…
