ALIEN FRANCHISE AND ANDROIDS

ALIEN FRANCHISE AND ANDROIDS

Artificial Intelligence is present on your cellphone or your Word processor, Robots are some automated process with some degree of autonomous decision like some inventions from the Ancient Greece⁽¹⁾ or many machines from the XIX Century Industrial Revolution. So Ash in Alien, Bishop in Aliens, Call in Alien Resurrection or David in Prometheus could be more accurately labeled as Androids⁽²⁾. Their involvment  in the plot is so intrinsic so the only discussion left is about their fleeting trustworthiness.

Countless movies depicted the involvment of Androids in the human affairs but on my own opinion the most complete (and terrifying) recent imaginary exercise about the involvment of the Androids in the society is the short animated The Second Renaissance I y II⁽³⁾
