Minimalist Sci-Fi in the packaging but not in the contents: can a humanoid robot become aware of its existence?
4 December 2020
Minimalist Sci-Fi in the package: very small cast, only one environment; but very current in content: can a humanoid robot become aware of its existence? Garland Alex in his first directing for a feature film chose a subject that is increasingly "science" and less "fiction" (nominated for the 2016 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay). The current scientific research on bio-robots (reproducing robots capable of imitating increasingly complex biological organisms), makes us understand that it is only a matter of time. Before long we will have increasingly sophisticated humanoid robots with brains built with neuronal networks similar to natural ones: quantum computers on organic matrices! At this point the initial question that is in the plot of the film seems to find a positive answer, with unimaginable ethical implications: the synthetic neuronal complexity thus obtained can become aware of its existence... with all due respect to metaphysicians !!!
