Abstract

The article explores the historical development of artificial intelligence (AI) from the first technical developments to modern neural networks, analyzing its reflection in culture and cinema. The evolution of public perception is also considered through the prism of works of art, starting with mythological plots and ending with modern films. Based on the analysis of 58 popular films, four basic ideas about AI in the minds of residents of megacities have been identified: anthropomorphic robots (36.2%), intelligent systems (29.3%), technologically advanced humans (24.1%) and animated images (10.3%). Special attention is paid to the role of cinema in shaping public opinion about intelligent technologies and their impact on the development of a digital society. The study demonstrates the relationship between cultural perception of AI and real technological progress.
