Description de l'ouvrage:
Analyses the representation of artificially intelligent entities in Hollywood film
• The first full length study of representations of artificial intelligence in film
• Covers the full range of AI film from its first emergence in the 1950s
• Includes Hollywood film and international film
• Explores which aspects of AI science fascinate filmmakers
• Identifies the key themes and tropes of AI film

AI in the Movies analyses film representations of artificial intelligence, from their first emergence in the 1950s up to 2020. These strong or general artificial intelligences take different forms: some are digital AIs, some robot AIs, some move between material and digital forms. Some are indistinguishable from humans, and some have no material existence at all.

Analysis of these representations demonstrates filmmakers eroding the division between human and AI, by presenting character doubles, narrative parallels and eventually, identities in which the biological and artificial overlap and intersect in new hybrid forms.

The book identifies the aspects of AI science that fascinate filmmakers and outlines the key themes and tropes in AI film, including parent-child relationships, the female robot, human-AI doubles, parallels and hybrids, and AI death and mortality.
