AI: Artificial Intelligence
Chase Hall, 2A, Row 6
AI Film Analysis A. Opening Scene 1. AI: Artificial Intelligence is a film about an advanced robotic boy who is the adopted “son” of human parents. It raises the question: can a human genuinely love something that is non-human? The boy longs to become "real" so that he can regain the love of his human mother. 2. A major “conundrum”, as mentioned in the opening scene of the film, is one that poses a question: if a robot can genuinely love its owner, what responsibility does the human have towards the machine? Is it real love if it is simulated and mechanical? 3. From a Biblical standpoint, mankind was created by God to bring him glory and enjoyment, “That in all things, God may be glorified (1 Peter 4:11).” Additionally, God could have made humans as virtual robots, “programming” them so they absolutely would not sin.

His love is sacrificial. He demonstrates this sacrificial love by sending His Son to the cross to pay the penalty for our sin (1 John 4:10), by forgiving us of our rebellion against Him, and by sending His Holy Spirit to dwell within us, enabling us to love as He loves. He did this in spite of the fact that we did not deserve it. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Only God can generate within us this kind of self-sacrificing love, which is the proof that we are His
