Ex Machina
by Alex Garland
Caleb explains the 'Mary's Room' thought experiment to Ava to illustrate the difference between programmed knowledge and human experience. He uses the analogy to explore the nature of consciousness and the limitations of artificial intelligence before revealing his true purpose for being at the facility.
Caleb is pressured into signing a restrictive non-disclosure agreement by his reclusive employer, Nathan. The stakes escalate when Nathan reveals the true purpose of Caleb's visit: to perform a Turing Test on a functioning artificial intelligence, a discovery that could redefine humanity.
