I, Robot (2004) & Automata (2014): Robot Ethics & AI Law

from Journey Through Sci-Fi: A Science Fiction Film Podcast

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.
