One reason I don't get why the Will Smith I, Robot movie was so disliked as science fiction was because it was pretty good about spotlighting this kind of ethical dilemma. His character's whole hatred of robots stems from an accident where a robot chose to save him instead of a little girl in another car because the robot calculated better odds of saving the adult. It's an ethical dilemma complex enough the film doesn't actually try to resolve it, despite the technology depicted being far more advanced than anything anyone today is calling artificial intelligence.

I was just thinking that I should re-watch this. I've heard that it's held up quite well. Thanks for bringing it up.
