Abstract: Cinema has long reflected social opinions on topics like Artificial Intelligence. Analyzing sequences from Chappie (2015) and A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001), a discourse analysis examined parenthood through developmental psychology, focusing on attachment theory, parenting styles, post-adoption circumstances, and child characteristics. The films show varied discourses: attachment styles are mostly secure and dismissive-avoidant, while parenting styles are generally authoritarian with nuances. Post-adoption circumstances and child characteristics significantly influence the relationship between parents and the artificial child. Society views the development of AI towards self-awareness positively and even expects it to happen.
