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.

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."

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?
