Even if we wanted to implement Asimov's laws in robots, it would be immensely difficult because we currently lack the understanding to create AI that can comprehend these laws.

The portrayal of AI in movies often prioritizes storytelling over accuracy, leading to misconceptions about the capabilities and nature of real-world AI. Asimov wrote the laws of robotics to create compelling science fiction stories, but these laws are not practical for real-world applications in robotics.

Ava's smile at the end of Ex Machina suggests a level of consciousness, as it raises the question of why she would smile if she weren't aware of herself.

The question of whether AI systems might warrant moral consideration arises if they possess consciousness or agency, as concluded in a recent interdisciplinary report.

If AI systems have conscious experiences, they may deserve moral consideration, as they could potentially suffer or experience well-being.

To enhance the usefulness, reliability, and security of AI, we need to understand the reasoning behind their actions.

The ending of Ex Machina leaves many questions unanswered, such as whether Ava is truly conscious or just a machine, emphasizing the film's ambiguity about AI and consciousness. It is intentionally vague, leaving viewers questioning the consciousness of the AI character, Ava.

If AI develops consciousness and the ability to feel emotions, it should be treated as an ethical and political subject with rights, similar to humans.

Humans may be viewed as functions in a system, similar to AI agents, especially if we consider the potential for direct integration with technology.
