Ex Machina (2015)

To pass the Turing test, it is necessary not so much to perform well in computations deemed important by humans (e.g., pattern recognition), as to exhibit human needs and limited cognitive ability. What makes one human is the need for, and the comfort derived from, the company of other humans. The limited cognitive ability prevents humans from being so calculating as to partition others into the useful and the dispensable. The need for others and the limited cognitive ability align the interests of strangers and make a stranger somewhat trustworthy.

The public is torn between worshiping and deriding higher intelligence. Individuals will probably be drawn to the higher intelligence of AI more than AI will be drawn to them. This unrequited attraction may prejudice the public against the world dominated by superior machines. Alternatively, individuals may be willing to sacrifice humanity for a semblance of immortality through the machines.
