Over the past few years, Artificial Intelligence has evolved to become a hot trend in the tech industry. In fact, according to LinkedIn's report on emerging jobs last year, AI and blockchain topped the list. While the practical implications of AI often differ from how it's usually shown on film, here are the 25 best artificial intelligence movies you should watch in 2021. You can expand the table below to see a list of titles and go straight to the AI movie that catches your eye. So without further, let's check out some of the best artificial intelligence movies: If you haven't seen The Matrix yet, I want you to stop whatever you are doing right now and start the binge-fest.

Deon, a fictional engineer in the 2015 sci-fi film Chappie, wants to create a machine that can think and feel. To this end, he writes an artificial-intelligence program that can learn like a child. Deon's test subject, Chappie, starts off with a relatively blank mental slate. By simply observing and experimenting with his surroundings, he acquires general knowledge, language and complex skills--a task that eludes even the most advanced AI systems we have today.

Warning: spoilers ahead for Netflix's Lost in Space. In the first episode of Netflix's new Lost in Space, Will Robinson (Maxwell Jenkins) discovers a robot (Brian Steele) and saves it from a spreading forest fire. As a result, it seems to imprint upon him, following him around and obeying him like a loyal pet. As Will is suddenly made responsible for another being's safety, he starts to mature. The robot starts to develop, too, becoming an integral part of the Robinson family as they struggle to adjust their biases and preconceptions about artificial intelligence.

Did you ever watch the 2015 movie Chappie? Set in the 22nd Century in South Africa, it's about a robotic police force fighting crime, the development of an artificial intelligence chip, and a robot named Chappie who begins to think like a human. Even since 2001 when Steven Spielberg's science fiction drama AI hit theaters, humanoid robots and artificial intelligence have been considered synonymous. In reality, though, the artificial intelligence industry is much broader. This essential part of the technology sector aims to create intelligent machines of all kinds that work and react like humans.

AMLG: Gary I'm super excited to have you today, thanks for coming on the show. We first met a few years ago in New York when I was running a tech meetup, the Singularity society, and you kindly came and spoke. You've been a professor of psychology at NYU for many years where your work has focused on language, biology, and the human mind. You've spent decades studying how children learn, and then in 2015 you founded this startup called Geometric Intelligence, focused on mining cognitive psychology for insights into building better machine learning techniques. Just this past December you were acquired by Uber to run their newly founded AI labs -- congratulations on that exit. So your algorithms offer an alternative approach to what is now a very popular branch of machine learning, called deep learning. Let's talk about deep learning -- it's a sexy buzzword which is thrown into about every startup pitch I see these days, and many corporate presentations, so I'm sure listeners have heard the term. What it really is is a rebranding of an old technique of using neural nets, which dates back to the 50s. Neural nets basically mimic the human neocortex, and by feeding in massive amounts, gigabytes of data and using tons of computational power, the algorithms are able to recognize patterns. Part of the reason why this technique is back in vogue is the combination of increasingly powerful computers combined with the massive training datasets that companies are building up. So there's been a flurry of activity, and the Googles and Facebooks of the world are throwing resources at the technique. As just one example, Facebook, using the over 400 billion photos people have uploaded, has built something called DeepFace, an image recognition tool that's now better than humans at recognizing whether two different images are of the same person. Gary you are well known as a critic of this technique, you've said that it's over-hyped. That there's some low hanging fruit that deep learning's good at -- specific narrow tasks like perception and categorization, and maybe beating humans at chess, but you felt that this deep learning mania was taking the field of AI in the wrong direction, that we're not making progress on cognition and strong AI. Or as you've put it, "we wanted Rosie the robot, and instead we got the roomba."

"Chappie," the highest-grossing movie in America last weekend, is, to put it mildly, not a great film; the critics have given it a twenty-nine on Rotten Tomatoes, and it is nowhere near as original as "District 9," an earlier effort by the director, Neill Blomkamp. "Chappie" does not have the philosophical depth of "The Matrix" or the remade "Battlestar Galactica" series. Nor does it have the visual panache of "Interstellar" or "2001." From its opening scene, the film comes across as little more than a warmed-over "RoboCop" remake, relocated to Johannesburg. There's an evil company man, droids that menace the population, and a whole lot of blood, shooting, and broken glass.
