A.I. Intelligenza artificiale, la storia di Stanley Kubrick e il film di Steven Spielberg. Confini tra l’uomo e la macchina

This article wants to examine Steven Spielberg film A.I. Artificial intelligence (2001) based on an idea by Stanley Kubrick. This film holds the sensibilities of the two most original directors in the history of world cinema. A film about the concept of the double: two cinematographic styles, two different but complementary authors, two different ways of conceiving the future, a central double character both machine and human. The main feature of this film lies in the analysis and reflection of the relationships between man and machine, culture and technology, and poses a main question: what is the human being in comparison with technology? What future does the human have? Keywords: “double” – the human being - technology
