인공지능의 긍정적 미래—마블 스튜디오의 『어벤저스: 울트론의 시대』연구

Abstract

This study examines how AI-based movies predict a positive future for AI. Most films produce extreme narratives that foster anxiety and fear about AI. In addition, most AIs in these films, after passing through singularity, pose an existential risk to humans. In Avengers: Age of Ultron, there appear two kinds of strong AI: hostile AI and friendly AI. The film also shows the process by which AI develops from a human assistant into a superhuman. Thus, it focuses on the development potential of artificial intelligence as a human colleague and the conditions for this development. The scenes where artificial intelligence transforms into a superhero and stands against evil highlight to viewers that artificial intelligence can have a significant positive effect on human life, especially where concerns and expectations intersect. The film shows that it is possible to have companionship and collaboration with humanized AI in a society. Above all, the film conveys the message that technology can improve human life through human-to-AI interaction and cooperation. Although many science fiction films express concerns about autonomous AI, this film suggests that such concerns can be a driving force toward a positive future by accelerating the development of safety devices and establishing AI ethics.
