The movie features a tech billionaire who creates an AI-driven humanoid robot named Ava. Altman’s tweet sparked conversations on Twitter about the relevance of Ex Machina to the current AI landscape and the ethical considerations surrounding AI development. A survey report found that 61% of Americans believe the fast-paced growth of AI could endanger the future, and over two-thirds expressed concern about its potential negative impacts. Altman has stressed the need for responsible AI practices and addressing the challenges posed by this cutting-edge technology.
