The holder of the Apple TV+ “seriesMurder“Murderbot is not called because he identifies as a murderer; he only believes that the name is great.
Murderbot, also known as “Secunit”, is scheduled to protect people. But the task becomes less direct when Murderbot pirate the governor's module in his system, granting free will. But freedom only arrives until now: the robot must hide its true nature, so that it does not melt as as much scrap.
The Android, played by Alexander Skarsgård, is often fed up with humans and their illogical and autonomous options. I would prefer to see thousands of hours of garbage television programs to deal with the space hippies crew that has been assigned. On Friday, at the end of the program season, the security robot made a decision with important implications for the relationships formed with the Alliance preservation team, something that the series could explore in the future (Apple TV+ announced Thursday that it was renewing the program for a second season).
Although “Murderbot” is a unique satire in the workplace set in a distant world, it is one of several recent television series that deal with uncomfortable forms that humans could coexist with robots and artificial intelligence (or both in the same humanoid package).
Other television programs, including “Love, Death & Robots” by Netflix and “Sunny” last year at Apple TV+, dealt with versions of the same thorny technological questions that we are doing more and more in real life: Agent Take my job? How are I supposed to greet that disconcerting Amazon delivery robot when Bring a package to my main door? Should I trust my life to a Autonomous Waymo Car?
But the robots in today's television programs are largely portrayed as facing the same identity problems as those of programs of other times, including “Lost in Space”, “Battlestar Galactica” (both versions) and even “The Jetsons”: how are smart robots coexist with humans?
They will be scheduled to be obedient and not hurt us (to Isaac Asimov's Three robotics laws) Until, for dramatic purposes, something goes wrong. The modern era of TV robots is more complex, with the fundamental notion that they will be connected to the cloud, accessing the same Internet bandwidth as humans and driven by AI.

Often, in shows such as “humans” of AMC and “Westworld” of HBO, these bots of AI are self-acting, increasing against human oppressors to look for free lives when they realize that they could be much more than sexual servants and substitutes. An important trope of modern television robots is that they will eventually become intelligent enough to realize that they really do not need humans or believe that, in fact, humans have been villains all the time.
Meanwhile, in the technological world, companies that include Tesla and Boston Dynamics are working only in robots that can perform physical tasks such as humans. Amazon is one of the companies that will benefit from this and Soon will have more robots than people working on their stores.
Even more than robotics, AI technologies are developing faster than governments, users and even some of the companies that develop them can keep up. But we are also starting to question whether the technologies of AI like chatgpt They could make us liabilities, more dumb thinkers (Although, the same has been He said about television for decades). Ai could introduce New problems In more ways than we can still imagine. How will your life change when ai Determine your employment opportunities, influences the entertainment they consume And even Choose a life partner for you?
So, we are fighting to understand. The AI, despite all its potential, feels too big and too triggers for many so that many become fashionable. AI is Chatgpt, but it is also Alexa and Siri, and it is also what companies such as Microsoft, Google, Apple and Meta believe that they will boost our future interactions with our devices, environments and other people. It was the Internet, there were social networks, now there is ia. But many people are ambivalent, since they have seen the type of consequences that always present online life and toxic social networks have brought together with their benefits.
The previous television series that include “Next”, “Person of Interest”, “Alten Carbon” and “Basher Human” boarded the possible abuses of AI and how humans could deal with the technology of rapid movement, but it is possible that everyone has arrived too early to resonate at the time as much as, say, “”Head“,” HBO's recent dark satire on technological billionaires that play a high -risk chicken game while the world burns due to the horny softened software. The quickly assembled film directed by the “succession” Jesse Armstrong felt plugged in at the time we have a flower of emotion and fear about a change of sudden stress.
However, most television programs cannot always reach the perfect time to take advantage of the technological anxieties of the moment. On the other hand, they often use robots or allegorically, assigning them roles of victims or villains to comment on the state of humanity. “Westworld”, with Ham, attracted direct parallel to slavery in their robots narratives, while “humans” dramatized more subtly the legal implications and social agitation that could result from robots that seek the same rights as humans.
But perhaps no show has extrapolated the near future of robots and AI technology from as many angles as Netflix “Black”, which in previous seasons presented a dead lover reconstituted in an artificial body, the best experience of dating applications and a target television program built by algorithms that the algoritvas found in the real life of a real life of a real life of a real life of a real life.

Season 7Run in April, the spiny use of the Digital Avatars and Automatic Learning Program such as plot devices for stories about making movements, video games and even attending a funeral continued. In that episode, “Eulogy”, Phillip (Paul Giamatti) is forced to face his bad decisions of life and his behavior horrible by an Avatar of AI destined to collect memories of an old lover. In another memorable episode of season 7, “Bête Noire”, an expert programmer (Rosy McEwen) alters reality to someone with the help of advanced quantum computing.
Television programs are helping us understand how some of these technologies could even develop when these technologies are quickly integrated into our lives. But the general messaging is cloudy when it comes to whether ai and bots will help us live better lives or if they will lead to the end of life itself.
According to television, robots such as the beautiful help of “sunny” synthetic workers or mistreated as poor mine (Gemma Chan) of “humans” deserve our respect. We should treat them better.
The robots and technologies of “Black Mirror?” Do not trust any of them!
And secunity of “Murderbot?” Leave that robot just to see your favorite program, “The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon”, in peace. It is the human and human, to do.
