Ava in Ex-Machina (2015)
As brilliantly played by Alicia Vikander, in her breakout role, Ava in Alex Garland’s Ex Machina is the most sympathetic artificial intelligence entity on this list — which makes her the most dangerous.
Ava plays on the sympathies of naive programmer Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) to escape from the clutches of her creator, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Ava turns out to be utterly ruthless, but what can we expect? Look at her human role model. She’s a scary A.I. movie villain because of her total remove from anything resembling ethics or empathy.
