Truly excellent. Original storyline and great execution, relevant and thought provoking,
disturbing and frightening.
Although it doesn't exist without a few flaws. The most grave of all is not even touching upon Asimov's Laws of Robotics. The second, of execution, was the knife scene; ironically that a knife stabbing scene was the only time suspension of disbelief was broken.
Still it artfully raised questions about artificial consciousness and some of its implications, concretely if a consciousness is created then who owns it? Who decides if it can be turned off or deleted? And if an AC is created and it's entitled to the same rights, then what's the point in creating it in the first place? If it cannot be harnessed and used like a tool then why build it? So that it can be your boss?
On the other hand, if it has a legal status of a tool and it becomes something more to someone, eg: a companion or even a romantic partner, then its integrity isn't sufficiently protected. Maybe it will end up having a legal status above pets.

CALEB: If you’ve created a conscious machine, it’s not the history of man. It’s the history of Gods.

NATHAN: If I hid Ava from you, so you just heard her voice, she could pass for human. The real test is to show you she is a robot. Then see if you still feel she has consciousness.

CALEB: Testing Ava through conversation is kind of a closed loop.
NATHAN: It's a closed loop?
CALEB: Yeah. Like testing a chess computer by only playing chess.
NATHAN: How else would you test a chess computer?
CALEB: Well, it depends. You know, I mean, you can play it, to find out if it makes good moves. But uh- but that won’t tell you if it knows that it's playing chess. And it won't tell you if it knows what chess is.
NATHAN: Uh-huh. So it’s simulation versus actual.
CALEB: Yes. And I think being able to differentiate between those two is the Turing test you want me to perform.

NATHAN: Can you give an example of consciousness, at any level, human or animal, that exists without a sexual dimension?
CALEB: They have sexuality as an evolutionary reproductive need.
NATHAN: What imperative does a gray box have to interact with another gray box? Can consciousness exist without interaction? Anyway, sexuality is fun, man. If you're gonna exist, why not enjoy it? What? You want to remove the chance of her falling in love and fucking? And in answer to your real question, you bet she can fuck.
CALEB: What?
NATHAN: In between her legs, there's an opening, with a concentration of sensors. You engage them in the right way, creates a pleasure response. So if you wanted to screw her, mechanically speaking, you could. And she'd enjoy it.

NATHAN: Why is that your thing? Because you did a detailed analysis of all racial types and you cross-referenced that analysis with a points-based system? No! You're just attracted to black chicks. A consequence of accumulated external stimuli that you probably didn't even register as they registered with you.
...
NATHAN: l programmed her to be heterosexual. Just like you were programmed to be heterosexual.
CALEB: Nobody programmed me to be straight.
NATHAN: You decided to be straight? Please. Of course you were programmed. By nature or nurture, or both. And to be honest, Caleb, you're starting to annoy me now, because this is your insecurity talking. This is not your intellect.

AVA: What will happen to me if I fail your test?
CALEB: Ava
AVA: Will it be bad?
CALEB: I don't know.
AVA: Do you think I might be switched off, because I don't function as well as I'm supposed to?
CALEB: Ava, I don't know the answer to your question. It's not up to me.
AVA: Why is it up to anyone? Do you have people who test you and might switch you off?
CALEB: No, I don't.
AVA: Then why do I?

NATHAN: You feel bad for Ava? Feel bad for yourself, man. One day the AIs are gonna look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons in the plains of Africa. An upright ape, living in dust, with crude language and tools. All set for extinction.
CALEB: "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

NATHAN: Ava was a rat in a maze. And I gave her one way out. To escape, she'd have to use self-awareness, imagination, manipulation, sexuality, empathy, and she did. Now, if that isn't true AI, what the fuck is?
