The psychology of AI

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2015)

the spoiler is only mild and only exists at the end (warning included at that point)
one of the best -if not the best- movies ever made on the topic of AI. this movie has really interesting story line which keeps the viewer engaged from the very beginning to the end and the climax is simply superb. besides the good story line, one great thing about this movie is that it explores the AI specifically very well. there are some particular things that i liked in the movie which i would like to tell in some detail:
1. i always thought google was working on developing AI, especially after they started working on google car, acquired companies like Deep Minds etc. this movie seemed to agree with me by showing that the CEO of the top (fictitious) search company secretly develops an AI. during a conversation in the movie, he tells his logic behind using the search data to develop the AI.
2. in other AI movies i think the psychology of the AI is not shown properly. eg in Terminator series, the machines didn't seem to have any psychology. whereas in Matrix series, it's mostly implied or indirectly shown but not properly explored. in the movie "A.I." again, although the main character is implied to have human like emotions- but that itself was because he was created in the 1st place to display those. so in spite of all the emotions shown there, they seem highly objective, predictable & mechanical in nature. in this movie however the AI shown has almost perfect understanding of human emotions, has its own emotions & feelings and can use them perfectly for some purpose. (spoiler from here) although it's shown that those things were intended by the CEO to have in the AI, it's seen in the end they didn't proceed in the predictable manner and the AI had formed it's own individuality and objectives etc. the AI also displays the characteristics of the perfect psychopath- one who has its own feelings, can understand perfectly others' psychology, use them to manipulate others very well but lacks completely feelings towards others.
