I wonder if a movie with an AI box-based story would have any potential? Perhaps something treated as more of a psychological horror/thriller than as a guns-and-explosions action movie might help to distance people’s intuitions from “AI is ‘The Terminator’, right?”
Re: Sly’s suggestion for ‘Ex Machina’. Rob Bensinger, who works for MIRI, apparently saw it with the MIRI staff, and they gave it a stamp of approval for being “pretty good”, if there opinions on the subject are worth something to you.

Watch Ex Machina. This is pretty close to what you are talking about, and I was it was well done.
Thanks; I’ve put a library request in for it, though it’ll probably be a few months until I get it.
