Which Movies Get Artificial Intelligence Right?

Posted by Soulskill on from the i'm-sorry-dave,-i'm-afraid-i-can't-watch-that-film dept.

sciencehabit writes: Hollywood has been tackling Artificial Intelligence for decades, from Blade Runner to Ex Machina. But how realistic are these depictions? Science asked a panel of AI experts to weigh in on 10 major AI movies — what they get right, and what they get horribly wrong. It also ranks the movies from least to most realistic. Films getting low marks include Chappie, Blade Runner, and A.I.. High marks: Bicentennial Man, Her, and 2001: a Space Odyssey.

  1. Wait ! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe we should wait until we have sentient robots before deciding which fiction was right.
    We could even let the robot decide.

    I would be like guessing in the 1850's which aircraft design seems the most credible.

  2. Very few AI movies are about actual AI by NotDrWho · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Good directors just use AI as a convenient literary device for exploring the HUMAN condition.

    Real AI would be boring as fuck.
