Why Couldn't The Matrix Exist Without Humans?

The Matrix raises a crucial question about the future of our relationship with Superintelligence. Perhaps our greatest concern is the possibility of arbitrary changes to its goals set during its design (we covered this question in detail in the section Deep Dive Into Fundamental AI Risks -> The Question of Immutability of Goal-Setting). This issue isn't explicitly addressed in the movie, which urges us to pay special attention to it.

We recommend watching this video, as it explores the complexity of the relationship between humans and machines, starting from before the emergence of the Matrix. The text, in turn, highlights the same issue with a slightly different focus, although it does not contradict the content of the video.

We hope that both the text and the video will allow you to see the story presented in this outstanding sci-fi film from a deeper perspective and bring you genuine enjoyment!
