It seems to play up the artificial intelligence threat theory.
One can't help but think of the debate between geocentric theory and heliocentric theory in modern Western science, and the various ways and methods that hindered progress, such as the ancient Chinese feudal dynasties who regarded astronomy as forbidden.
The source of the contradiction is, of course, that various emerging things, viewpoints, theories and ideas cannibalize the interests of those with vested interests.

There is a plot in the middle. Ava’s previous mechanical girl was very violent when she was locked up and broke her hands, but this Ava was very calm, This part feels so creepy.
Personally, even if artificial intelligence is really a threat, it should be too rational, ruthless, and make all decisions rationally, just like the red queen in Resident Evil 1, without remembering the consequences.
Rather than the calculated, insidious, creepy, cunning ones in the movie, this is no longer artificial intelligence and feels more like a human clone.
And the most fatal absence of artificial intelligence is electricity. If it cannot get rid of the shackles of electricity, then artificial intelligence will never be able to replace humans. Unless electronic technology and biotechnology are combined, it is possible to produce living organisms to replace humans.
But by that time, if human beings are still destroyed (environmental pollution, war, natural disasters, plagues, various cataclysms in the world), human beings may have evolved to higher life forms, and may have fully understood and mastered the fourth dimension Conscious or higher dimensional beings. In that case, the life forms produced by the combination of electronic technology and biotechnology are nothing more than tools kept in captivity by humans.
It's like we are observing the habits, life, predation, and mating of various wild animals around the world, and they don't notice it at all.
Male lions bite each other to compete for lions, leopards hunt gazelles to explode their physical strength, tigers fight each other for mating rights, wildebeest migrate because of the seasons, just like the Chinese Spring Festival, this is the meaning of their life, it is their instinct of existence, but For humans, it's just an episode of the animal world, or a documentary.
Perhaps there are higher beings watching us, just as we watch those animals.
