A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

David, a robotic boy—the first of his kind programmed to love—is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee and his wife. Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible for David.

In A.I. Artificial Intelligence, consciousness is carried by machines — a plane of “android longing”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing love, identity, technology, prejudice.
