The AI Revolution: A Posthumanist Reading of the (Re)Presentations of Artificial Intelligence in Selected Contemporary Films

Mark Anthony G. Moyano — 2025-01-15

Artificial Intelligence (AI) transcends mere technological advancement, taking on profound philosophical, ethical, and cultural significance. This study focuses on the representation of AI in contemporary films, a medium that reflects society’s shifting concerns and aspirations regarding humanity’s relationship with technology. Despite the growing importance of AI in our lives, a gap remains in understanding how films depict AI and contribute to societal discourse on autonomy, ethics, and identity. The study aims to examine key themes in films such as Ex Machina (2014), Her (2013), Blade Runner 2049 (2017), A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001), and The Matrix (1999), exploring how these portrayals influence our perception of AI. Employing a posthumanist theoretical framework, this study investigates how AI is represented as the “Other” and the ethical responsibilities involved in creating autonomous entities. Methods include a thematic analysis of these films, focusing on how AI characters are depicted and the moral dilemmas presented. Key findings highlight that cinema often frames AI through a lens of human anxieties—particularly around autonomy, ethical responsibility, and identity formation. These films present both utopian and dystopian visions of AI’s role in society, offering diverse perspectives on the implications for human identity and agency. The study concludes that cinema plays a pivotal role in shaping public understanding of AI and its transformative potential, raising critical questions about the future of humanity in an increasingly AI-integrated world.
