How does this film explore the role of advanced technology. How does the director frame technology in relationship to humans, is it framed positively/negatively?

The 21st century surely is a century of advanced technologies, the end of the 20th century was much characterized by the development by science, but the 21st century, only with nearly 20 years, has proceeded much further. The year of the film “I, Robot” being shot is 2004, fifteen years ago, but even then development of technologies had a basis for foreshadowing more sufficient improvements. Nothing to say, that Asimov’s “I, Robot” short stories collection published in the 20th century, and is considered as one of the most influential of science fiction literature. The film is based on these stories.

Technologies development has both advantages and disadvantages. If it is people who control this development it is good, as they can keep everything in their hands, but if a machine (like robots in the film) with artificial intelligence can develop by itself – it brings a major problem for humanity. Technologies will continue develop, and nobody knows for sure where it will bring the humanity, and the film is kind of prediction and warn for people.
