Algorithmic Thinking and Cinematic Ontology: Epochal Transformations and Ruptures in Science-Fiction Cinema

Summary/Abstract: This study explores how representations of artificial intelligence in science fiction cinema reflect the evolving dynamics of human–machine relations, with a particular focus on their sociocultural meanings, ethical implications, and existential resonances. Framed by the notion of a paradigmatic shift, it asks: In what ways have cinematic portrayals of AI been shaped and redefined across historical periods in response to shifting anxieties, technological imaginaries, and ideological orientations? The central claim is that science fiction cinema operates not only as a cultural mirror that reflects collective hopes and fears regarding AI, but also as an active discursive site that constructs and disseminates those very perceptions. As AI transitions from a utilitarian tool to a philosophical and cultural subject, cinema plays a crucial ideological role in narrating this transformation. To examine this evolution, four canonical films were selected—Metropolis, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, and The Matrix—each emblematic of the era in which it was produced. The study applies a qualitative content analysis approach that focuses on narrative structures, visual codes, ideological subtexts, and conceptual motifs in order to uncover the deeper semiotic and thematic layers embedded in each film. Through a combination of descriptive and thematic analysis, the cinematic construction of AI is situated within its broader historical and cultural contexts.
