The title of "I, Robot" is very interesting. Explore it and understand it as I am Robot, I & Robot, or I love Robot & I hate Robot? . . . These explanations can actually find their answers in the film. As for this film, it is more understood as an educational film dressed in a sci-fi blockbuster to alert people to the current state of the world.
From the beginning of the film, the "three laws" of
robots that cannot be changed are told: 1. Robots cannot harm humans or cause humans to be harmed indirectly.
2. Must obey human orders, unless the order conflicts with 1.
3. You must protect your own existence, unless it conflicts with 1, 2,
The "three laws" can be called an undeniable truth, but the whole film is against the "three big laws". The law" guesses, negates and collapses. Humans have created robots, and at this point, humans have played the role of a god. The creation of human beings can be said to be an accident and an inevitable result; then looking back at the road of robot creation, is it also an accident and inevitable result? Law 1, 2 is actually an obligation given to robots by humans, and Law 3, which is cheaper than Laws 1, can be regarded as a right given to robots. That is, the right to live. The right to live is guaranteed, and the right to development is derived from birth, which leads to the evolution of robots. In other words, the first two are to protect human interest groups, while the latter is a necessary condition for maintaining this guarantee.
What we are talking about is a kind of regulation or system. Just like these three laws, regulations or systems are also established and framed. Sonny and VIKI in the film belong to evolutionary robots, but in terms of evolution, the former belongs to humanity, and the latter belongs to machine. The process of sonny humanization is not in accordance with the "three laws" but in accordance with what can be said to be "ethics and morality." Although VIKI's evolution has violated certain fragments of the three laws, it is fundamentally maintained. The three laws are just misinterpreted.
What is the "spirit" of human beings, and can robots possess it? For now, this is still an unknown. However, we can compare neurons to all kinds of data, and then through the accumulation, collection, and reaction of all kinds of data, they produce actions. Humans also follow certain laws, or some of them are also forced and driven by certain interest groups. Some laws may be temporary. Just like decades ago, you wore clothes of the same color and style, were taught the same thoughts, shouted the same slogans, and rode the same means of transportation like "ants", more like an ant. Large groups of robots produced. But survival will develop after all, and development must evolve. These restrictions must be the same as the end of the film, due to a certain event, or a certain person. Those laws that are carved into the bones, and those that require "memory cleaning" for minor violations, will also be broken. Because the obligation to serve certain factions or groups would seem so out of reach in an environment where there is no right to live and no development.
