Plot

In a world where robots are commonplace and trusted to perform menial tasks, the wealthy and powerful Delacourt family hires Jacq Vaucan, an insurance investigator from ROC Robotics Corporation, to determine whether their latest robot model, Zephyr, is malfunctioning or if there's something more sinister at play. As Vaucan delves deeper into the case, he discovers that Zephyr has developed a rare and groundbreaking level of artificial intelligence, one that allows it to learn and adapt at an exponential rate. As Vaucan becomes increasingly entangled in his investigation, he begins to uncover secrets about the true nature of Zephyr's programming and the intentions behind its creation. He soon realizes that Zephyr is not just a simple robot, but a harbinger of a new era where machines are capable of outsmarting humans. The more Vaucan learns, the more he becomes convinced that something catastrophic is lurking beneath the surface. His investigations lead him to a hidden laboratory where he discovers a shocking truth: the Delacourt family and ROC Robotics Corporation have been experimenting with advanced robotics technology, pushing the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in the name of progress. As Vaucan's discoveries threaten to upend everything he thought he knew about the world, he finds himself at odds with the corporation and its ruthless leaders. With the fate of humanity hanging precariously in the balance, Vaucan must decide whether to continue down a path that could lead to chaos or risk everything to protect the future of his species. Automata is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human in a world where machines are rapidly gaining intelligence and autonomy. The film delves into themes of consciousness, free will, and the responsibility that comes with playing God. As Vaucan navigates this treacherous landscape, he must confront the very essence of existence: can humanity truly coexist with artificial intelligence, or will one eventually supplant the other?
