What makes humans human? The age-old question becomes more relevant as artificial intelligence becomes more and more a reality. Ex Machina evokes psychoanalytic, social, and practical human concerns about artificial intelligence and raises ethical questions, especially when/if robots become sentient. Ex Machina was nominated for several awards and won an Oscar for visual effects this year. Alicia Vikander is superb in her portrayal of the robot Ava.
