1.1The concept of Artificial Intelligence

The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by Dartmouth in 1956.Since then, researchers have developed theories and principles, and the concept of artificial intelligence has expanded.Artificial Intelligence, short for AI.It is a new technical science to study and develop the theory, method, technology and application system for simulating, extending and extending human intelligence.Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that seeks to understand the essence of intelligence and produce a new kind of intelligent machine that can respond in a similar way to human intelligence, with research in the field including robotics, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing and expert systems.Since the birth of artificial intelligence, the theory and technology have become increasingly mature and the application field has been expanding. It can be imagined that the scientific and technological products brought by artificial intelligence in the future will be the "container" of human intelligence.Artificial intelligence is the simulation of the information process of human consciousness and thinking.

Artificial intelligence is not human intelligence, but it can think like a human and possibly surpass it.

1.2The historical background about artificial intelligence in American films

As early as the silent film era when the film was invented, science fiction, as a traditional film type, has been widely recognized by the audience. Science fiction films tend to be "fantasy descriptions of the future world or distant past scenes based on the known scientific principles and achievements today". Their narration is mostly based on scientific hypothesis or fantasy scenes, which usually involve the imagination of the future world and the exploration of the human situation. With the rapid development of science and technology, more and more science fiction films themed on artificial intelligence have entered the field of film researchers. From the reflection of robots inciting riots workers 《Metropolitan》(Metropolis, Germany, 1927) to 《The Avengers alliance 2》 (Avengers: Age of Ultron, the United States, 2015) in the Ultron robot, the subject of science fiction has experienced a long development course, both expressed the human science and technology for the future quirky imagination, also shows the social concern about the technology of artificial intelligence development exist and anxiety.

Science fiction films themed on artificial intelligence are often divided into two categories, one is robot, the other is computer and network programs. Before the 1950s, the image of mechanical man appeared in science fiction films about artificial intelligence. Throughout the history of civilization, robots, as the ultimate fantasy pursued by human beings, have been throughout the history of narrative literature. After a long history, robots have finally gone from fiction to reality.

If we compare the history of the science fiction of artificial intelligence with the history of the science of artificial intelligence, we may find some hidden connection between the two. In the 1940 s and 50 s, from different fields such as mathematics, economics, psychology, and engineering to discuss the possibility of manufacturing artificial brain scientists, in the end, the Dartmouth conference in 1956, scientists first proposed the term "artificial intelligence", formally established the research field of artificial intelligence, marking the formal birth this emerging discipline of artificial intelligence.It is widely believed that the 1960s was a period of relatively depressed science fiction films, which were affected by the great climate, and the artificial intelligence science fiction films in this period were also relatively quiet and mediocre. There were some low-quality, robot-related sci-fi movies

Since the Dartmouth conference, artificial intelligence has entered a period of rapid development. 1956-1974 was a golden age for artificial intelligence, where computers could prove geometric and algebraic problems and even chat with humans. Scientific researchers at the time expressed general optimism about the development of artificial intelligence, and some scientists even predicted boldly that within 20 years, machines would be able to do all the work that humans could do. Against this backdrop, kubrick's sci-fi masterpiece, 《2001: a space Odyssey》, burst onto the scene and became a masterpiece in film history. It was a visionary masterpiece of science fiction, a departure from the optimism of the scientific community at the time.

Since the early 1970s, the research on artificial intelligence has been in a slump. Scientific researchers gradually found that the expectations of ai in the past were too optimistic, and the development of ai will face insurmountable fundamental obstacles. It is gradually found that asimov's three laws of robots contain a deep paradox. The development trend of artificial intelligence is to hope that computer programs can have human mental attributes, such as intelligence, consciousness, free will, emotion and other natural attributes of human beings. However, for humans, artificial intelligence is always an alien force, and a kind of external existence lies in human existence. That is to say, once artificial intelligence has self-consciousness, whether humans can still effectively control it and whether it will threaten the survival and safety of human beings is a problem we need to face.

Artificial intelligence technology was used more and more mature in science fiction films in the 1990s. "In the 1990s, the rapid development of modern technology has brought a series of revolutionary changes to science fiction films. The perfect digital technology and the amazing computer-generated special effects' transform imaging 'have replaced the traditional science fiction films which mainly focus on model and stunt shooting." Such stunning visual spectacles are used in the sequels of 《Terminator》,《Robocop》 and 《Alien》. In these science fictions, scientists combine organisms with non-organisms to create human-like artificial intelligence through high-tech means, so that ordinary people can evolve into "superman", greatly enhancing the physical, intellectual and psychological endurance of "human" itself.

1. 3 Current situation of artificial intelligence

    In the 21st century, artificial intelligence has become a new trend of scientific and technological innovation, and has become a hot topic in contemporary society. Nowadays, artificial intelligence appears more and more frequently in science fiction films and presents a richer and more detailed diversity and complexity.

With the progress of modern technology, more and more people realize that the reason why artificial intelligence can harm us is not because of its evil nature, but because of its "immorality". Artificial intelligence is not a living creature, it is a kind of alien force, we cannot judge artificial intelligence by morality and immorality, it already went beyond the psychological category of human morality. In other words, the artificial intelligence we create is probably not truly self-aware, and it seems to be self-conscious more because of the initial program we set for it. What is the goal we set for ai, and what is its motivation, while a super ai will only strive to achieve the goal already set, even if it objectively harms people in the process of achieving the goal, it will not hesitate to achieve the goal.

More and more people are paying attention to artificial intelligence, and more and more people are on guard against artificial intelligence. Does the fact that people who know about artificial intelligence call it humanity's last invention, the last challenge, portend deep concern and doubt about the tools they make? However, even the most pessimistic scientists cannot stop the development and application of artificial intelligence. With the irreversible trend, more artificial intelligence science fictions are bound to emerge, which will have huge market appeal and attract a large audience. What we can foresee is that the science fiction film of artificial intelligence will become a unique cultural phenomenon, which contains all kinds of cultural connotations and deserves our continuous research and exploration.

1.4What I will talk about the elements of AI movies

Based on the historical dimension, this paper summarizes the development of artificial intelligence science fiction films, discusses the narrative mode and role type commonly used in this type of science fiction films, and expounds a series of changes of artificial intelligence science fiction films with the development of science and technology.This paper, combined with the development history of artificial intelligence, attempts to make a relatively complete systematic review of the history of the development of this type of science fiction films.

As a popular element in science fiction films, artificial intelligence science fiction films not only enrich the process of the typification of science fiction films, but also present their own characteristics and profound charm.This paper takes American artificial intelligence science fiction film as the research model. Based on the definition of its concept and development process, this paper explores its philosophical theme expression, which lies in human complex complex feelings towards science and technology, reflections on their living conditions and reflections on life itself.
