Lots of spoilers, please stop if you mind.
=======================================
1. Humans are not destroyed by machines, but because of mutual wars and slaughter, the last species is extinct.
Judging from the various anti-epidemic settings in the training base, human beings should have even launched bacterial warfare and virus warfare. The machine mother was created by human beings before self-destruction. Her mission is to cultivate the ancestors who eradicate the inferiority of human beings:

2. The middle-aged woman is also the child of the machine mother but not APX01.
The little girl is APX03, and the first destroyed little girl is probably APX02. But the middle-aged woman is not APX01, but a failure of an earlier experiment, and the machine mother is also her mother. If the starting point is AAA00, according to the permutation and combination calculation, there have been 41302 failed products before. Human experiments at that time were free-range, but none of these people failed to meet the requirements. In the end, these people were basically destroyed by the machine (dozer), and the remaining people fled into the "tunnel" of "darkness" until the tragedy of cannibalism.
The middle-aged woman said that there are still the last survivors in the "mine", which is actually a lie. The mine didn't exist, she was the only survivor, and was allowed to survive because it was designed to be the last test for the little girl. Of course, the end of the story is also destroyed by the machine.

3. The machine mother committed suicide, pulled the trigger with a little girl's hand
The machine mother wants to breed humans by her method of screening, elimination, and destruction. The little girl disagrees, but in the end, the machine mother obeys the humans. The robotic mother stepped back and asked if she could raise human offspring with the little girl. The little girl is unwilling, and they do not agree with each other, not to mention that the other party is still a mother who murdered her own child?

4. The core of the film is the struggle between two philosophical views on "justice"
The machine mother represents the utilitarian justice represented by Bentham, who can sacrifice a small number of people for the happiness of the majority; the little girl represents absolute justice, believing that everyone has intrinsic value and an equal right to life. and the right to happiness.
Machines uphold utilitarian justice, which is why they do such experiments and "destroy" so many humans. Because you can:

1:34:35.54,1:34:37.04,cn: make better humans
1:34:37.67,1:34:40.17,en: Smarter, more ethical.
1:34:37.67,1:34:40.17,cn: Smarter and more moral
For machines, there is nothing wrong with utilitarian justice. Through this method, qualified "Eves" are finally produced. Although so many failed products have been destroyed, they are not human beings and do not have to bear moral culpability.
In the conversation between the doctor and the patient, the little girl could see that she did not agree with the justice of utilitarianism:

The great thing about the machine mother is that she realizes that the inherent greed and selfishness of human beings (this is passed down from Eve Adam from generation to generation) will eventually lead to the destruction of human beings (of course, these cognitions of the machine mother come from self-destruction. generation of human awareness). If human beings are to continue to reproduce, they must elevate from the root, which is why she does not hesitate to destroy a large number of people and screen them layer by layer. This is a utilitarian and just approach.
But the children she raised rejected utilitarian justice. As a sister, no matter what her younger brother was (black or white, qualified or not), she had to raise him to grow up. This is absolutist justice; what the little girl remembers is Comte's words, "I should be willing to take harm in order to do what is good for others"; also unlike the original experiment, "don't care about anyone's future and only think about herself" (1:17:21.17, 1:17 :24.00), which is exactly what the Machine Mother is for. In addition, in the final big test (that is, sending the middle-aged girl back to create a test scenario), the little girl also showed various excellent qualities:
a. Humanism of saving the dead and helping the wounded, sympathizing with the victims and not asking for anything in return (rescue middle-aged women)
b. High sociality (longing for "mine" (human society))
c. Do not abandon or give up your own kind (insisting on taking your younger brother to go)
d. There is no prejudice of skin color (the younger brother is a black child)
e. Learned to trust but also doubt (trust one's own mother, but also doubt her)
f. Seek truth from facts (compare bullets)
h. Think independently and stick to your beliefs (although I love the machine mother, but I don’t agree with her experiments and destroying human beings)
I. Strong motherhood
The little girl can finally become the first ancestor of a qualified human being, and pass on her qualities to thousands of offspring, so that they will not repeat the mistakes of their ancestors, who hold that "it is not a sin to take care of yourself to survive" ( 1:25:58.08, 1:26:00.04), and eventually, without exception, embarked on the road of human self-destruction. The previous human "war" ended like this, and the same is true for the human beings bred by the machine mother in the "stocking" method at the beginning (in the era of middle-aged women, Jacob, Rachel, and Simon all died of cannibalism in the end).
The machine mother not only cultivated a qualified Eve (the future human qualified mother), but even prepared food (corn field) for the reproduction of human beings 6 months in advance. She succeeded in a mother's sense. The title "I am mother" is a pun, not only referring to the machine mother herself, but also the human mother she raised.

At the end of the play, in the face of hundreds of human embryos, what should the little girl do, should she follow the practice of the machine mother? The little girl's face showed determination, she had already made her own decision - the decision of the human mother.
