- "Mechanic Ji" is the first part-time director for screenwriter Alex Garland.
- The "Turing Test" in the film is a famous experiment proposed by Turing to test whether a machine has human intelligence.
- Director Jialan described the "future" in the film as only "ten minutes away" from them, and explained that even if a technology company invents a similar robot in the film, it would not be surprised.
- The original name of the film "Ex-Machina" comes from the Latin Deus Ex Machina, which means "god from the machine". Derived from the Greek tragedy, the actor who played the god would descend from the platform (machine) at the top of the stage to solve the problems in the play, and was later extended to refer to the person who accidentally intervened to reverse the situation.
- The names of the three main characters in the film are all related to the Bible. Ava comes from "Eva", the first woman born in the world, and Nathan is a prophet next to David. Caleb was a spy sent to the new world by Moses. His name was spelled in accordance with the Hebrew word for "loyal".
- The role of Ava was originally considered to be played by Felicity Jones.
- Domnar Gleason and Oscar Isaac collaborated for the first time in the film. Coincidentally, they subsequently joined the "Star Wars 7" crew.
- Alicia Vikander and Domnal Gleason collaborated for the second time. They had previously played a couple in "Anna Karelina".

The story capacity is enough for a quarter episode of Black Mirror (this male protagonist has really acted as Black Mirror!), and watching this kind of reversal after experiencing too many super dramatic movies can no longer stimulate nerves. But if you substitute the viewpoint of revolution and the history of human evolution, it's still a bit interesting. The director had previously edited Never Let Me Go, which was a clone of humans. This time he played AI again, still focusing on ethics. It’s really long-lasting.

Nathan: This isn't a house, it's a research facility.

Nathan: Over the next few days you're going to be the human component in a Turing test.
Caleb: Holy shit!
Nathan: Yeah, that's right, Caleb. You got it. Because if the test is passed, you are dead center of the greatest scientific event in the history of man.
Caleb: If you've created a conscious machine, it's not the history of man. That's the history of gods.
