Świadectwo afektu. Spotkania ludzi i sztucznej inteligencji w filmach Ex machina i Uncanny
Witnessing the affect. Encounters of humans and artificial intelligence agents in films Ex Machina and Uncanny

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to identify characteristics of presentation of artificial intelligence in the films Ex Machina (2015) and Uncanny (2015), and the analysis of ideas about possible romantic relationships between humans and artificial intelligence agents in the context of post human and affect theories. The key categories used in the analysis are: „witnessing”, used in the context of the Turing test, and „affect” as understood by Silvan Tomkins. The article tries to show that contemporary film presentations of artificial intelligence are part of a broader post human research, pointing to the equal roles of human and non‑human entities, as well as to the essence of the category of affect in the creation and understanding of artificial intelligence.
