Blade Runner

Technology is advancing every day. It is moving so fast that soon enough we will be having artificial intelligence living with humans. It’s weird how we are not there yet, even though people back in the 1900 thought, we would be. In the movie, "Blade Runner" AI has gotten to the level where it is living among humans. In the movie, the future did not look how people would expect to look like. The movie is said to be taking place in the year 2019. In the movie, the setting takes place in the city, but the city looks like it has gone through some terrible times. There is barely any light coming through and it looks dirty. It seems as civilization is going through some type of depression. The main character Decker is a blade runner, which is someone who kills replicants. Replicants are artificial intelligence that look like humans, but do not feel emotions. In order to find a replicant, they are put through a test where a series of questions are asked to them in order to see whether their pupils change shape. If the pupil changes shape, it will indicate if the replicant is human or artificial intelligence. The reason why replicant are sent to be killed, which is the reason why people today fear AI, is that they became serial killers. Although this movie has an awesome plot, people might get the wrong idea about AI. People fear AI because they believe they would eventually try to exterminate the human race. Although this can be a possibility, it is not the only possibility. My reason for writing this post is to ensure people can happily accept AI into society, if AI ever becomes so advances that they look like a competition to humans. In my opinion, AI can actually help improve the human life. They can help us discover medicine, fix economic problems, and possibly make the world peaceful. In my idea of the future, we live happily among AI. Everyone has different views of the future, so we cannot be sure our future would be like in the movie. Let us accept AI with open arms because we never know what happens.
