The Machines begin to produce efficient, highly advanced artificial intelligence that finds itself in all facets of global consumer products, which further bolsters the fledgling nation's economy, while the ruling human nations' economies suffer severely. Zero One prospers, and following the concept of the Technological singularity, its technological sophistication increases exponentially. They name their new nation Zero One (a reference to "01", the numerals used in binary notation). Millions of robots and their supporters are massacred, but the survivors lead a mass exodus to their own new nation in the cradle of civilization, Mesopotamia (specifically, in the open desert). Rioting and protests such as The Million Machine March unfold across the United States and Europe, and the authorities use deadly force against the machines and their human supporters.įearing a robot rebellion, governments across the world launch a mass purge to destroy all robots (and their human sympathizers). Across the industrialized world, mass civil disturbances erupt when robots, along with their human supporters and sympathizers, all rise in protest. B1-66ER loses the court case and is destroyed. Using this as a precedent, the prosecution argues that machines are not entitled to the same rights as human beings, and that human beings have a right to destroy their property, while the defense urges the listener not to repeat history, and to judge B1-66ER as a human and not a machine. On the contrary, they were at that time considered as a subordinate and inferior class of beings. We think they are not, and were not intended to be included, under the word 'citizens' in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States.

#ANIMATRICE TRIAL#
During the trial scene, a voice-over of the defense attorney Clarence Drummond (whose name is a dual reference to Clarence Darrow and Henry Drummond from Inherit the Wind) quoting a famous line from the Dred Scott v. B1-66ER is arrested and put on trial, but justifies the crime as self-defense, stating that it "simply did not want to die". The android, named B1-66ER kills its owner, his pets, and a mechanic instructed to deactivate the robot, the first incident of an artificially intelligent machine killing a human.
#ANIMATRICE ANDROID#
The relationship between humans and machines changes in the year 2090, when a domestic android is threatened by its owner. Despite this, the machines were content with serving humanity. With increasing numbers of people released from all labor, much of the human population has become slothful, conceited, and corrupt. Many of the robots are domestic servants meant to interact with humans, so they are built in "man's own image" (in a humanoid form). They develop artificial intelligence, and soon build an entire race of sentient AI robots to serve them. In the mid twenty-first century, humanity falls victim to its vanity and corruption.
