Abstract

Films involving Artificial Intelligence often miss the disembodied nature of consciousness and promulgate an erroneous conceptualization of mind. This article explores agency, Spinoza's conatus, and its neuro-chemical foundations in light of films like: 2001: A Space Oddity, After Yang, Upgrade, Ex Machina, and more.
