WEB Beyond the Uncanny Valley: Alex Garland on Ex Machina
Interviews Roger Ebert
WEB In Ex Machina Garland explores our fascination with and distrust of technology's potential by making it.
Alex Garland on his new venture Ex Machina: The novelist's first movie as director.
Alex Garland's directorial debut, Ex Machina, is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of our relationship with technology. The film tells the story of Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a young programmer who is invited to participate in a Turing test with Ava (Alicia Vikander), an artificial intelligence (AI) created by Nathan (Oscar Isaac), a brilliant but eccentric CEO. As Caleb spends more time with Ava, he begins to question his own beliefs about consciousness and free will.
Ex Machina is a visually stunning film with a strong cast and a well-written script. Garland does an excellent job of creating a sense of unease and suspense, and he keeps the audience guessing until the very end. The film is also a timely exploration of the ethical implications of AI, and it raises important questions about the nature of consciousness and free will.
In an interview with Roger Ebert, Garland discussed his inspiration for Ex Machina and his thoughts on the future of AI. Garland said that he was inspired to make the film after reading about the Turing test and the uncanny valley. The uncanny valley is the hypothesis that as AI becomes more realistic, it will become increasingly difficult for humans to distinguish between AI and real humans. This can lead to a sense of unease and revulsion, which is what Garland wanted to explore in Ex Machina.
Garland also discussed his thoughts on the future of AI. He believes that AI will eventually become so sophisticated that it will be indistinguishable from human intelligence. However, he does not believe that this will lead to the end of humanity. Instead, he believes that AI will become a tool that we can use to improve our lives.
Ex Machina is a must-see film for anyone interested in the future of AI. It is a thought-provoking and suspenseful film that will stay with you long after you leave the theater.
