In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, James and Matt continue their Artificial Intelligence series with two films that explore the moral rules governing intelligent machines.
First we look at I, Robot (2004), the sci-fi thriller inspired by Isaac Asimov's famous Three Laws of Robotics, where a detective investigates whether a robot has committed murder.
Then we explore Automata (2014), a darker and more philosophical story about robots that may be evolving beyond their original programming.
Together these films explore one of science fiction's most enduring questions:
Can artificial intelligence truly understand human morality?
Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time.
Follow the show for deep dives into the films and ideas that shaped the genre.
