The compound itself is like a vault with access cards needed to go from one room to the next. Here the start-up founder has developed an AI humanoid prototype that is programmed to read and exhibit human expressions. The dystopian world imagined in Ex-Machina mainly takes place within the isolated compound of a young billionaire entrepreneur (Nathan) deep in a remote location in the wilderness. In effect, Ava the AI robot in Ex-Machina becomes like Frankenstein's monster, seeking to grasp the notion of existence and life and to be the one who decides whether she lives or dies (is shutdown and rebooted or allowed to escape and enter society). However, as the film shows, there are a number of fears and problems associated with the concept of artificial intelligence getting out of control or taking on a life of its own (through the development of consciousness). What he meant was that the technology to create lifelike AI is at hand and no one would be too surprised to find out that Google or Apple had already taken the next steps in this direction. The 2015 film Ex-Machina, written and directed by Alex Garland is a futuristic/dystopian film that is set "ten minutes from now" according to the director.
