What to Read, Watch, and Listen to In Preparation For the Robot Apocalypse

It's clear from the start that the villains in this 2001 Steven Spielberg film are the humans. In a future where new robots are sold like car models, humans consistently use their creations as the scapegoat for very human problems. The humans ignored climate change until Manhattan was halfway underwater, tried to light Jude Law on fire, and abandoned Haley Joel Osment in the woods with nothing but an animatronic toy bear to take care of him (Teddy comes in clutch later, though). The robots in the movie are accused of taking up too much space and energy, and AI today is already being built without taking sustainability into much consideration, despite the opportunities it could present as a way to help reach climate change net-zero goals. If humans program the original goal of AI, then it's our own fault if it starts to do something we don't like.
