Pay the last payment the day before, and drop 100 the next day! Well-known sports brands "arbitrarily change preferential policies" lead to controversy

  Recently, many consumers gave feedback on the black cat complaint platform. The well-known sports brand Adidas issued a large coupon again after the consumer paid the final payment, and the price dropped. "backstab" had previously participated in the pre-sale of consumers, and the customer service refused to refund the difference. Up to now, there have been more than 20 collective complaints on the black cat complaint platform.

  A consumer described in detail the "backstab" behavior of the merchant in the complaint. On October 24th, after paying the deposit, he has been squatting in the live broadcast room to grab coupons. Officially, the denominations are 1000-200. However, after paying the final payment on the evening of the 31st, he found that a larger coupon of 1000-300 was issued on November 1st, and he worked hard to grab coupons in the live broadcast room. How to make up the bill and recharge the shopping card, but there was no coupon of 1000-300. The consumer thinks that it is unfair to change the preferential policies at will, and asks the merchants to make up the difference, but it is rejected. The merchant responded by saying that it accepted the refund of the return. However, the consumer’s coupons and accumulated red envelopes have been used, and the loss caused by the refund is too great. It questioned: Is it a consumer fraud that merchants induce consumers to participate in pre-sale with the so-called "lowest price" but change preferential policies at will?

  Up to now, Adidas Group has only indicated on the black cat complaint platform that it is aware of it and is in contact with consumers. There is no other response.

  The search of the reporters of the rule of law network found that there are not a few consumers who have encountered this experience. Some consumers have successfully defended their rights through Taobao platform intervention or calling the 12345 consumer hotline. However, many consumers still face the situation that merchants refuse to pay compensation and delay processing.

  In 2009, Taobao took the lead in launching the "Double Eleven" promotion. Since then, the annual "Double Eleven" has been regarded as a consumer carnival day, and major e-commerce platforms and merchants have launched various "Double Eleven" promotional activities, such as full reduction, pre-sale discounts, discounts for live broadcast rooms, signing in red envelopes, red envelopes for shop members, and candy teams. All kinds of consumer benefits have dazzled consumers. However, in recent years, the design of "Double Eleven" promotional items has become more and more complicated, and many consumers have complained. Now "Double Eleven" seems to be a double test of mental and physical strength, and it will never be a discount that you can’t understand, a full red envelope that you forget to use when you are not careful, a coupon that you can grab late at night and a spike price. Simple and clear discounts seem to have become a "past tense".

  In fact, the reporter of the rule of law network noticed that the situation of "backstab" consumers like Adidas is not an isolated case. During the "Double Eleven" in 2021, the beauty brand L ‘Oré al Paris claimed that the pre-sale of the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi was the biggest in the whole year. At that time, the price of the live broadcast room was 429 yuan and 50 pieces, which reached about 368 yuan after various discounts were superimposed. However, after the end of the pre-sale period, the official flagship store of L ‘Oré al Paris issued tens of thousands of store coupons of 999 minus 200 in early November, and with various platform discounts, the lowest hand price of this product was 257.7 yuan. The price difference was so large that it once aroused public anger, and consumers complained jointly. Finally, the brand publicly apologized and gave coupons to end the storm.

  During the "Double Eleven" in 2022, a netizen reported that an e-commerce platform intended to guide consumers to buy Apple mobile phones in advance, which led to the loss of 200 yuan for the first batch of buyers compared with those who bought later, and the platform refused to negotiate and compensate the difference. He said that he bought an Apple mobile phone on October 31, during which the platform induced consumers to say that the price of the "Double Eleven" activity of Apple mobile phone was similar on October 31 and November 1, and the cost of buying an Apple 14 mobile phone in the first wave of "Double Eleven" activities was 6349 yuan. However, only two days later, the platform subsidized the red envelope 100 yuan on November 3, and the purchase price on that day was 6,249 yuan. Since then, the second wave of "Double Eleven" activities has issued coupons 750 yuan, and the price of Apple’s 14 mobile phone has dropped to 6,149 yuan.

  According to the public opinion analysis of China Consumers Association on consumer rights protection from October 20 to November 13, 2022, there are 768,340 negative messages about "promotional price disputes", accounting for 14.01% of the total spit information.
%, with a daily average of 30,734, showing a fluctuating upward trend. Spitting is concentrated in the second half of the promotion period, and the content of spitting mainly points to the problems of price increase first and then discount, high pre-sale price and so on.

  Lawyer Zhang Yinfu, a senior partner of Beijing Yingke Law Firm, said that if a merchant deliberately conceals or exaggerates the preferential strength during the pre-sale, it is suspected of fraud. As the main body of selling goods, merchants need to bear corresponding responsibilities for the goods they sell. The Measures for Punishment of Infringement on Consumers’ Rights and Interests stipulates that the information provided by business operators to consumers about goods or services shall be true, comprehensive and accurate, and they shall not engage in any of the following false or misleading propaganda acts, and shall not sell goods or services at false "clearance price", "sale price", "lowest price" or other deceptive prices. The Measures for Punishment of Consumer Fraud stipulates that operators who provide goods or services fraudulently shall be given the following penalties according to law: 1. The administrative department for industry and commerce shall order them to make corrections, and may impose a single punishment or a warning according to the circumstances, confiscate the illegal income and impose a fine of more than one time but less than five times the illegal income, and impose a fine of less than 10,000 yuan if there is no illegal income. 2. If the circumstances are serious, it shall be ordered to suspend business for rectification and revoke its business license. According to Article 55 of the Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests in People’s Republic of China (PRC), if an operator commits fraud in providing goods or services, he shall increase the compensation for the losses suffered by the consumer according to his requirements.

  "The key to this incident is whether the merchants promise to pre-sell consumers to enjoy the’ lowest price’. If the merchant makes it clear that consumers in the pre-sale period can buy goods at the lowest price, but then changing the promotion method violates the previous commitment, it is an infringement of consumers’ right to know and choose. " Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary general of china law society Consumer Protection Law Research Association, pointed out.

  As for the way that merchants allow consumers to return goods and refund, but refuse to pay the difference, Chen Yinjiang said that it is the right of consumers to choose to return goods or refund the difference, and merchants should compensate consumers for the actual losses caused by their actions. In addition, the platform’s responsibility for assistance should also be seriously implemented. After discovering or receiving complaints from consumers, the e-commerce platform has the obligation to assist consumers in investigating rights protection and urge businesses to deal with them. If the platform provider knows or should know that the seller or service provider uses its platform to infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and fails to take necessary measures, it shall be jointly and severally liable with the seller or service provider according to law.

  "With the advent of the’ Double Eleven’, consumers need to be cautious while enjoying shopping happiness, and pay attention to retaining relevant evidence such as consumption vouchers, product discount interfaces, and video and audio in the live broadcast room as a guarantee for future rights protection." Chen Yinjiang said.

He was popular with Dao Lang for 15 years, and now he is down and out, attracting A Mei’s pity.

"knowing that it is impossible for you to leave his world, I am still silly to wait until the day when the miracle occurs, until that day.
You will find that the person who really loves you is alone in mourning … "Whenever a familiar melody rings, there will always be a person in my mind, and that is him. When he was a hit, he was even more popular than Dao Lang at that time. His song has been sung for more than ten years. However, the love song prince was born out of wedlock at the age of 40, and his image plummeted. Now A Mei, who is down and out, pities him. He is Li Shengjie.

Around 2004, popular songs were rampant in the Chinese music scene, and a large number of pop singers emerged. Up to now, their songs are also widely sung. For example, Tang Lei’s Lilacs, Dao Lang’s The First Snow in 2002, Pang Long’s Two Butterflies, Yang Chengang’s Mice Love Rice, Vowing to Pray for Buddha, Wang Qiang’s Don’t Come Back in Autumn, etc., and he also made his debut at this time.

He was born in Bay Bay, and he loved music since childhood. He was also trained by a professional singing teacher. In 1997, on the variety show "Super Newcomer King", he relied on an "I"
Swear won the championship and began to debut.

Later, with the advice and help of Bao Bida, he released his first album "Cold Coffee" in 1999, but his music career was bleak because of publicity problems. After a few years of silence, he returned to the earth in 2002, and released the album "Infatuation Absolute". The title song of "Infatuation Absolute" was also a hit, which was popular all over the Taiwan Straits and was sung in the streets, and he also ushered in the peak of his career.

Then, while the iron was hot, an album "Absolute Infatuation Let Go of Hands" was released, and a song "Let Go of Hands" became popular all over the country again. At that time, he appeared in Shang Yan with these two songs, and even overshadowed the then popular Dao Lang. A song "infatuation is absolute" has been popular for 15 years, during which he sang it 8000 times himself.

However, after 2009, he gradually faded out of everyone’s sight. It was not until 2013 that it was reported by the media that the love song prince was unmarried and had children, which caused his reputation to be damaged and the scenery was no longer there.

Last year’s
At that time, he appeared at the scene of "The Voice of Dreams", which immediately aroused the whole audience’s nostalgia. He also had deep feelings with the on-site tutor, but now he can only go down to the acupuncture point, which also caused A Mei to cry, only pity.

  He used to be a love song prince. I hope he can cheer up and bring us more extraordinary works.

Economic observation: Only when the economic prosperity benefits the people at night can it last forever

  After the hustle and bustle of the day, when the night falls and the lights are on, people who like nightlife have a happy time.

  There was a nightlife in ancient China. "Thousands of trees are blooming in the easterly night, and the stars are raining, and BMW cars are carving incense all over the road. The phoenix flute is moving, the jade pot is turning, and the fish and dragon dance all night. " In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xin Qiji’s first poem "Jade Case Yuan Xi" was inscribed, which vividly described the bright lights and crowds on the night of the last Yuan Festival.

  Today, after urbanization has gathered a large number of people, the fast pace and high pressure of modern life have given birth to people’s need to relax and release themselves. Rich information, increased income and improved living conditions also make it more convenient to go out for consumption activities at night. Night economy is becoming a consumption force that cannot be ignored.

  Night economy improves consumption convenience and enriches people’s lives.

  Night economy is an important part of urban economy. The city at night has a unique charm, attracting people to wander among them.

  Night economy mainly includes catering, shopping, entertainment, leisure, health care, education, film and television, tourism, sports, etc. When it comes to nightlife, tasting delicious food is definitely the first choice. In Guangzhou, which is famous for its delicious food, the famous night market food garden has the most famous time-honored restaurants and various garden-style restaurants in Guangzhou, and also collects old Guangzhou snacks, such as Shahefen, Seto Powder and Cantonese dim sum. Chengdu, which is famous for its leisure, and Kuanzhai Lane’s night market have both areas for displaying ancient art and culture, as well as local delicacies and snacks in Chengdu, such as Ye Erao and the Three Cannons. In the capital Beijing, going to Guijie to taste delicious food and going to Sanlitun to experience bar culture is a necessary "punch-in" trip for many people.

  In addition to food, culture and entertainment are also essential. Movies, dramas, cross talks, concerts, art exhibitions, etc. satisfy people’s spiritual life, while various shopping centers, comprehensive shopping malls and other commercial places integrate eating, drinking, playing and entertainment, making people who are keen on shopping linger. Zou Tongqian, a professor at beijing international studies university China Institute of Culture and Tourism Industry, said that museums, exhibition halls, art galleries, concert halls, movie halls and gymnasiums are the most active places for night consumption, and there are more and more night consumption items.

  The consumption increment brought by the night economy is also very objective. The consumption data released by Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce during this year’s "May 1" holiday shows that the major business districts are full of popularity, night consumption continues to heat up, catering consumption is hot, and smart and energy-saving home appliances are popular. The 60 retail and catering enterprises monitored by the commerce department realized a cumulative sales of 3.22 billion yuan, up 6.5% year-on-year. The characteristics of Beijing’s nighttime economy are prominent, and the endogenous power of consumption is active: the data shows that Wangfujing, Sanlitun and Qingnian Road lead the way in nighttime consumption from 18: 00 to 6: 00 the next day, and the catering consumption has increased by 51.3% year-on-year. The latest "Night Economy" report released by Alibaba on July 24 shows that night consumption, including catering and shopping, has gradually accounted for half of the daytime.

  Government measures help to "give a green light" to the night economy

  The healthy development of urban night economy can stimulate urban economic development and enrich citizens’ night life, and now it has become an important starting point for expanding consumption and promoting people’s livelihood in many parts of the country. In order to promote the development of night economy and serve the people, many governments have introduced relevant policies and measures to help the night economy according to their own conditions.

  In the 2019 Beijing Municipal Government Work Report, it is proposed that Beijing will stimulate a new round of consumption upgrading potential this year. To this end, Beijing will implement a plan to promote consumption and introduce a series of "1+X" policies to further expand commodity consumption and service consumption. Among them, the policy of prospering the night economy and promoting consumption was introduced to encourage key blocks, shopping malls, supermarkets and convenience stores to extend their business hours appropriately.

  "By 2022, more than half of convenience stores in Beijing will be open 24 hours a day; Each district must have at least one night economic business circle. " In an interview with the media, Yan Ligang, director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce, revealed that Beijing will introduce a policy of prospering the night economy to promote consumption, encourage key neighborhoods, shopping malls, supermarkets and convenience stores to extend their business hours appropriately, and stimulate a new round of consumption upgrading potential.

  In order to optimize the guarantee measures of public transport service at night, Beijing Metro Company officially implemented the delayed operation scheme on July 19th. The plan includes that every Friday working day and Saturday rest day, Beijing Metro Lines 1 and 2 will extend the departure time of the last bus to after 0: 00 am the next day.

  The Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce recently released the Map of Night Consumption in Guangzhou, and 15 consumption gathering areas such as Beijing Road Pedestrian Street and Tianhe Road Business Circle were listed as "Night Guangzhou" consumption landmarks. According to the commercial department, Guangzhou will further enrich and meet the people’s demand for night consumption by building a gathering area for night consumption, and build Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area into a "city that never sleeps". According to the relevant person in charge of the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the next step will continue to promote agglomeration development, focusing on building many night consumption gathering areas and improving supporting facilities and public services; Create a comprehensive experiential shopping paradise for night consumption and vigorously develop experience economy, fashion economy and cross-border economy; Promote the integration and development of business travel style, and create landmark festivals and their night activities; And take the opportunity of 5G construction to promote the development of "night consumption in internet plus" and build a modern network provider.

  In May this year, Suzhou Museum in Jiangsu Province held the "Wonderful Night of the Museum" opening activity, and the visiting time was extended to 9 pm. Visitors can not only feel the emotional appeal of Suzhou in the dark, appreciate the museum collections, but also participate in various cultural activities.

  Cultivating night economy is a systematic project, which requires both the active guidance of government departments and the extensive participation of all sectors of society. This is also the significance of setting up "night warden" and "nightlife CEO" in some cities.

  Developing night economy needs to fully understand consumer demand.

  Developing night economy is not only an important way to expand new consumption areas, but also an inevitable choice to meet people’s needs for a better life. However, we should also see that the night economy brings vitality, charm and new economic growth points to the city, but it also puts forward higher requirements for the level of urban governance.

  The development of night economy is not simply to change the business activities during the day to the night, but to take into account the living habits of local people, and the night consumption time in residential areas and surrounding areas needs to be reasonably controlled, so as not to disturb the people and affect the rest of residents. At the same time, night consumption must have the awareness of safety first.

  Xu Guangjian, a professor at the School of Public Administration of Renmin University of China, said in an interview with the media, "Today is an era of great wealth of commodities. Consumers are faced with many choices and their consumption demands are constantly escalating. Talking about the past ‘ Night economy ’ I think of low-grade and cheap, but now people are pursuing quality and enjoyment. "

  The data shows that in the first half of the year, service consumption accounted for 49.4% of the final consumption expenditure of all residents, an increase of 0.6 percentage points over the same period of last year. With the improvement of income and supply quality, Chinese residents’ consumption is changing from physical consumption to service consumption.

  "With the Internet, people can spend money with their fingers at home. Why do people want to go to physical stores? Because the store can enjoy the experience and service, this is precisely the shortcoming of online shopping, and it should also be the future development ‘ Night economy ’ The focus. " Guang Xu said.

  In fact, experiential consumption at night has become a rigid demand of people. During the Spring Festival of 2019, night experience projects such as Xi ‘an "Datang City that Never Sleeps" and Chongqing Liangjiang Night Tour were hot; This year’s Lantern Festival, the Forbidden City opened the "Night of the Forbidden City" for the first time, and as soon as tickets were sold, it was "second light" … …

  Whether the "menu" of night consumption can be richer and give people more choices; Whether public transportation can keep up with it and provide convenience for consumers and staff who delay work; How to manage the noise and lampblack problems of night dining and avoid disturbing the residents who have a normal rest … … It can be said that how to make the night economy better light up the night sky of the city is not only an economic proposition, but also a governance test.

Controversy over the "poison train" accident in the United States has caused protests in many places because of the constant waste transportation.

  The scene of the derailment accident of the "poison train" in Ohio, USA (data map)

  Overseas network April 12 thAccording to the Associated Press reported on April 11, after the "poison train" accident in East Palestine, Ohio, the soil and liquid containing toxic chemicals in the accident site are being transported to Michigan for storage. This news made local residents and politicians angry.

  A local official in Michigan said: "People have seen photos of the scene of the accident in Ohio before, and they saw smoke and wild animals dying. It is terrible that people have heard that local residents have health problems. Now, (toxic substances) are entering our community. " Due to strong protests, the US Environmental Protection Agency was forced to interrupt the transportation of toxic substances at the scene of the accident.

  In addition to Michigan, in Indiana, Oklahoma, Maryland and other places, the voice of refusing to accept the "toxic train" accident waste continues to rise. The EPA responded that States should not interfere with federally authorized waste transportation.

  Nevertheless, local governments are still trying their best to avoid receiving toxic waste. A company tried to discharge the liquid from the accident site into the wastewater system in Baltimore, Maryland, but the plan was aborted because of the obstruction of the mayor of Baltimore.

  At present, Ohio officials are putting pressure on the railway company and the US Environmental Protection Agency to remove contaminated soil and liquid. There were 24,400 tons of soil to be treated at the site, some of which had been transferred to three treatment facilities in Ohio and facilities in Michigan, Indiana and Texas. However, protests broke out after that, which interrupted the transportation of toxic waste. (Overseas network Liu Qiang Intern Shang Ruiwen)

He told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) that he was completely shocked when he found that the Canadian Prime Minister was with him in the parade.

"For me, the concept of’ pride parade’ is a dream in itself, and being able to participate in this parade is more like dreaming. As for being able to participate in this parade next to the Canadian Prime Minister, I have never dreamed of it in the wildest dream." He said.

According to the Guardian, in the middle of the parade, McLeish finally got up the courage to talk to Trudeau. He thanked Trudeau and the Canadian government for their decision to take in refugees. Trudeau said that his decision was based on the wishes of the Canadian people.

According to CBC, at the beginning of the civil war in Syria, the first destination where McLeish fled was Egypt. There, he returned to his old job and started the work of fuel coordination. However, his work unit refused to sign a labor remuneration contract with him, which led to his loss of his job. In addition, he was found to have HIV in 2014, and Egyptian law prohibits foreigners with HIV from working in Egypt, which makes his situation worse.

However, a Canadian-based NGO "Rainbow Silk Road" noticed him, and with the support of this organization, McLeish arrived in Canada in May this year and started a new life. "Rainbow Silk Road" focuses on helping sexual minorities (LGBT) from Syria get out of trouble.

According to the Guardian, after taking office at the end of 2015, Trudeau and his Liberal government announced that they would welcome Syrian refugees and said that they would provide assistance to the areas receiving refugees. At the same time, Trudeau also vigorously promoted the development of LGBT affirmative action after he took office.

In May this year, Canada announced the adoption of legislation to prohibit discrimination, insult and violence against transgender people. Anyone who publishes "hate speech" to transgender people based on gender will be punished by law.

Trudeau said at the time: "I sincerely believe that Canada can and must do more (in promoting affirmative action). This is not only for ourselves, but also for setting an example to the rest of the world. An open and free society is the greatest thing we can aspire to. "

In addition, according to the data of official website, the Canadian government, 28,640 Syrian refugees have arrived in Canada.

Original title: "5.8 earthquake! 4.6 earthquake! Strong sense of multiple earthquakes "

Read the original text

The movie channel 6.30 broadcasts "Artificial Intelligence" to explore the true meaning of emotion with AI.

Special feature of 1905 film network When artificial intelligence has a sense of autonomy, where will human beings go?In recent years, with the birth of powerful AI robots such as ChatGPT, a difficult problem has been invisibly thrown to human society. "When the development of science and technology makes robots have emotions, is this really a good thing?"


In the movieI, Robot.At the time of broadcasting, we once released such a short video about "the awakening of robot self-awareness", which caused a heated discussion among netizens.


This week, the film channel will broadcast another thought-provoking science fiction film, directed bySteven Allan SpielbergDirectedArtificial intelligenceThis movie is about a robot with human emotions. The film was released in the United States on June 29th, 2001, 22 years ago. Did Spielberg think that artificial intelligence would develop to this point in 22 years?



Love that spans thousands of years


Henry, an employee of a robot manufacturing company, and his wife adopted the first robot boy who was input into the emotional program.David.With getting along day by day, David seems to really become the son of the couple, but all the peace is broken with the return of their real son.



And David had to leave his "parents" because of the accident, and embarked on the road of seeking to become a "real person".Artificial intelligence with human emotions — — This sounds like a very dangerous existence, but David, as a robot in this movie, has an endless sad background.



Monica, David’s human mother, woke David up to make up for the vacancy in her heart because her own son was dying, made him a substitute for her own son, and abandoned David cruelly after her own son returned.



Henry, David’s human father, took David home only because he saw David as a gift to ease his wife’s pain.



After thousands of years, human beings have long since disappeared. When David was awakened by aliens, he still had only one thought: turn me into a real child and let me go back to my mother.


Ironically, human beings, who should have deeper feelings, seem to be as cold as robots in this movie, while robots, who should have been ruthless, have the most eternal feelings in this movie.



After watching the movie, people may have such a question in their hearts: is the changeable emotion of human beings not even as good as the program piled up by numbers after all?



A movie, two directors.


The creative process of Artificial Intelligence is full of twists and turns.The original director of the film was not Spielberg, but the original inspiration of the film actually came from the famous movie master.Kubrick. This also makes the film "Artificial Intelligence" have the shadow of two film masters at the same time.


Spielberg (left), Kubrick (right)


Kubrick always loved a 1969 novel called "Super Toys Playing All Summer" and wanted to adapt it into a movie, so in 1985, Kubrick asked his old friend Steven Allan Spielberg to be the producer together with Jane Harlan.



However, because no suitable child star could play the role of "David" at that time, and the computer technology was not mature enough to create the image of CG "David", Kubrick temporarily shelved the film.



In 1999, the 71-year-old great director died of a heart attack, and Artificial Intelligence became his unfinished last wish.



At the entreaties of Harlan and Kubrick’s wife, Steven Allan Spielberg decided to be the film director himself. He said:"In the 1980s, I learned this unforgettable wonderful story from Kubrick, and I was deeply attracted by the ingenious integration of science and humanity. Let me tell this story for him after the Sri Lankan has gone away."


Most of the filming of this film was done in Warner Studio in California, which took 67 days.The most popular actor in the film is undoubtedly haley joel osment, who plays David.



His screen debut was playing Forrest Gump’s son in a famous film in the history of the world. In 1999, he won eight nominations, including the Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.


Forrest Gump (I), The Sixth Sense (II)


As a talented child star, haley joel osment’s acting skills in movies are naturally remarkable. He interprets David’s stubborn pursuit of maternal love in detail and brings strong empathy to the audience.



Play David’s friend in need — — Robot Joe’s actor also contributed wonderful acting skills in the film. With perfect body expression and handsome appearance, it seems that Jude Law is really the charming robot dancer in the film.



During the filming process, the film also encountered many difficulties, the most serious of which was how to present the teddy bear that always followed David.



Teddy bear is a complex combination of model and digital technology, and it is necessary to seamlessly integrate computer images and real images for its shooting.



This seemingly unremarkable teddy bear is actually equipped with 50 servo motors, 24 of which are located in the head, which can be used by special effects technicians to control complex facial movements. The seemingly light and portable teddy bear weighs 30 pounds.



Even Haley Joe osmond said when he saw the teddy bear, "It is really a super toy, because under the action of various motors in the body, it can not only swing its body, nose and ears, but also catch objects. I really almost believed it."


Artificial Intelligence Films in Film History


The initial birth of robot image in the world film history can be traced back to 96 years ago.In 1927, the filmMetropolisBecame the first film in the world.In personThe film of industrial intelligence is also the most expensive silent film in the history of film production.



The original director of Artificial Intelligence mentioned above — — The film directed by movie master in 1968 is regarded as "the milestone of modern science fiction film technology".



Hal, the AI program that produces human emotions and kills human beings in the movie, made many people realize the horror of highly evolved artificial intelligence at that moment.



In 1982, according to the famous science fiction writer Philip K. Dick’s novel "Do bionic people dream of electronic sheep? The film adapted from "The Replicator" is a group of robots created by artificial intelligence technology. The release of this film has further aroused people’s thinking about the relationship between human beings and artificial intelligence.



In 1984, the film directed and starring came out, and Schwarzenegger’s permeability terminator T-800 with human face and skin became one of the most famous robot images in film history.



Released in 1999, it tells a dream story about a robot falling in love with human beings and eventually becoming a human being. As a robot-themed movie, although there are no gorgeous special effects, the warm story expression of "Machine Butler" also impressed fans.



The movie "I, Robot", starring, which was released in 2004, has a chilling self-awareness of robots, and the fighting in the movie is also brilliant.



In 2014, the robot Dabai, the first animated film jointly produced by Disney and Marvel Comics, was popular all over the world because of its cute appearance, and the film also won the "Best Animated Feature Film" award at the 87th Oscar.



When robots have self-awareness and emotion, should we give them the same rights as human beings?If one day in the future, when you face a robot as close to human as David in Artificial Intelligence, how will you react?


The movie channel will broadcast the movie "Artificial Intelligence" on Friday, June 30th. Let’s explore the true meaning of emotion from the perspective of artificial intelligence.
