Ex Machina made this point the critical failure of humanity to contain AGI. It was an original spin, given that Hollywood typically depicts Androids’ lack of emotional capacity as their main weak point. However, it made the same mistake as Jurassic Park and all other “evil AGI conquers the planet” films (Terminator, Colossus, War Games) in that no reasonable safety precautions are taken.
Personally, I would like to see (and I’m trying to write) a story where intelligent and capable researchers make significant efforts to contain AGI (and likely still fail).
Spoilers for the film Ex Machina below.
