CRUCIAL DYSTOPIAN IMAGERY FROM MINORITY REPORT (2002) AND I, ROBOT (2004)

Abstract

We can now easily encounter AI or artifcial intelligence in our daily lives. Rather than being fun to talk about, AI is actually a form of warning about many potential negative consequences. In the flm Minority Report (2002), AI predicts and stops crimes before they occur (precognition). The flm explores the ethical-moral implications of a system that predicts and prevents all forms of crime, and raises important questions about the future of AI and its impact on society. Artifcial intelligence in the form of robots becomes smarter in I, Robot (2004). In this flm, AI develops in a revolutionary way, has body anatomy and emotions similar to humans, can predict the future in many cases, and is able to make decisions independently. This article examines how AI in the future provides a
dystopian image in two flms; Minority Report and I, Robot also discuss
the panopticon as a controlling mechanism that shapes character and
human behavior. This aims to examine the tactics and regulations of
a government system in the form of a panopticon that uses power to
control and build subjectivity.
