The Artificial Intelligence genre typically explores the relationship between humans and intelligent machines, and the ethical dilemmas that arise when machines begin to exhibit human-like qualities. These movies often depict a world in which artificial intelligence has become ubiquitous, and robots or androids are indistinguishable from human beings.
