Haley Joel Osment brings the concept of a robotic child to life, in what is a delightful film but warns of the harmful effects of building a relationship with AI.

As a test subject in a new experiment, David is sent to live with foster parents and slowly builds his ability to love. A cautionary tale in reverse, David’s foster parents are unable to give him the love he sorely needs so he leaves to find where he belongs.

Only then is he sent to a ring where human spectators watch robots fight to the death. Hollywood consistently shows that when humans look to build a relationship with an AI-generated machine, it never ends well.
