| Abstract | ||
| The study examines the ethical dilemmas surrounding the over use of AI in I robot (2004) movie. which directed by Alex Proyas, is a sci-fi classic that delves into the complicated relationship between artificial intelligence and humanity, based on a popular collection of stories by author Isaac Asimov that discusses the three laws of robotics. focusing on fears about the potential dominance of artificial intelligence over humanity which can lead to the potential transform from a tool serving humanity into a force capable of controlling. increasing reliance on technology and the overriding human commands could lead to a loss of human dependence and the concentration of power in the hands of machines, as VIKI is become the main control. The study adopted a descriptive and analytical approach, supported by semiotic analysis of cinematic images (figures), with the aim of revealing the ethical problems and dilemmas of artificial intelligence as reflected in the film. This article aims to raise important question which if AI is inherently evil or a gift for humanity? The film highlights the idea that intelligent technology with decision-making power can be dangerous, but when used within a clear ethical framework and under human supervision and control, it can be a real gift that contributes to well-being, order, future and civilizational progress. | ||
