Ethical dilemma tied to a successful film

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2009)

Del Spooner (Will Smith) represents the society as a whole in this movie related to the ethical dilemma of robot rights. Many people believe that this issue, that of robots having the same rights as humans, may lead to the outcome presented in the film. Science is getting close to to developing robots that may be able to pass as humans when it comes to basic movements and appearance. Furthermore, if these 'ghosts' in the programming actually exist, as Dr. Alfred Langing proposed then who says that natural evolution can not occur. This film presents some interesting decisions based on is it okay to treat robots as slaves or lesser than humans? Again those opposed to this view see robots as nothing but machines. This leads us back to the discussion of whether or not if robots are able to fool us, as humans, into being humans themselves. So this raises the question of was Detective Spooner justified in being suspicious of Sonny's actions? In the long run, I believe that artificial intelligence can replace that of humans based on the evolution of artificial intelligence.
