When Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence came out in 2001, the idea of a truly human-like robot still seemed like science fiction. The film, starring Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, and others, tells the story of a robotic child programmed to love. While it was originally a project developed by Stanley Kubrick, and its deeper meaning wasn’t fully appreciated at the time, the movie feels much more relevant today, given how common artificial intelligence has become. You can now watch it for free on Tubi.

The popular Baki series is continuing with a new anime that introduces a formidable new opponent.

It’s strange that we haven’t yet built truly intelligent machines, but artificial intelligence has been a major theme in science fiction for a long time. Stories about AI let writers and filmmakers explore big questions about what it means to be human, whether creating artificial life is right, and if humans might eventually become outdated. These stories often ignore current technological limits, imagining a future where it’s hard to tell the difference between living beings and artificial ones. By giving human fears and concerns to robots and digital characters, science fiction movies offer a safe space to think about the potential consequences of trying to create life.
