Blade Runner

- IMDb Score: 8.1
In Blade Runner, which we can describe as one of the best science fiction films in history, we travel to a world with humans and synthetic robots called Replicants.

2001: A Space Odyssey
- Year: 1968
- Director: Stanley Kubrick
- IMDb Score: 8.3

After Yang
- Year: 2021
- Director: Kogonada
- IMDb Score: 6.6
After Yang, which was released in 2021 but is not very popular, makes you question the emotional bond you can form with AI, what the life of an AI means, and whether its memories and experiences are as valuable as ours.
Minority Report
- Year: 2002
- Director: Steven Spielberg
- IMDb Score: 7.6
In this film, we watch law enforcement use a system that predicts future crimes and the experiences of the character named John Anderton. It offers us a different perspective by making viewers question: “If there really were an AI that could predict the future, would we not have free will?“
Upgrade
- Year: 2018
- Director: Leigh Whannell

Upgrade, which is about a character who receives an AI-powered implant in his body after an accident, makes us question the potential consequences of entrusting our body to an AI in this era of rising brain implants and AI systems.
