Machina Ex Deus

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper examines how robotics is now entering a phase where it's possible to create beings that are capable of learning
and discerning for themselves. It looks at how film has broached this topic in different ways in recent years, first, in "Blade Runner", and then later on in the movie, "Artificial Intelligence". It discusses the premise that the creators in these movies don't appear to be making beings like themselves and how they appear to be making images of the human creator. It attempts to show that the characters of Tyrell Corp and Professor Hobby were not creating themselves as God, but rather were trying to create God Himself.
