Analyzing sequences from Chappie (2015) and A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001), a discourse analysis examined parenthood through developmental psychology, focusing on attachment theory, parenting styles, post-adoption circumstances, and child characteristics. The films show varied discourses: attachment styles are mostly secure and dismissive-avoidant, while parenting styles are generally authoritarian with nuances. Post-adoption circumstances and child characteristics significantly influence the relationship between parents and the artificial child. Society views the development of AI towards self-awareness positively and even expects it to happen.TextospaopenAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0CIENCIAS FÍSICO MATEMÁTICAS Y CIENCIAS DE LA TIERRA::MATEMÁTICAS::CIENCIA DE LOS ORDENADORES::INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIALHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTA::PSICOLOGÍA::PSICOLOGÍA DEL NIÑO Y DEL ADOLESCENTE::OTRASEducationArtículo/ArticleVISUAL REVIEW.
