While the movie takes creative liberties with the technology, it highlights the importance of considering the ethical implications of AI-powered limbs.

However, experts warn that as AI grows, it could lead to “ethical issues that can plague users and society.” The article explores the current state of AI-powered bionic limbs, the potential benefits, and the risks of brainjacking and loss of control.
