(2019); and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). It summarizes each film’s AI premise — robotic replacements, manipulative virtual assistants, nuclear-controlling computers, cloning exploitation, and a sentient HAL — and notes their continuing relevance to concerns about automation, emotional dependency, and control.
