The narrator sounds Russian. Is the text-to-speech synthesized robot voice speaking Finnish?
I note that "Sinopsis" is spelled "Synopsis" in English.
But there is such a thing as having people misunderstand AI-Risk to be about scary robot soldiers with cameras for heads, wielding plain old guns, because it lends itself to powerful images. Superintelligence is not a salient threat to the human mind, because we do not know it. Humans have no experience with something perhaps very powerful yet perhaps invisible, that is simply going to disassemble the biosphere and put it to better use according to it's own criterion, and not at all fight us in a war with soldiers and guns first or whatever.
That said, the VFX look great. Which is presumably what this film is about.
I don't think so, it sounds Russian as well to me (since if I ignore the subtitles, I can understand both about equally - my native tongue is a Slavic language). But it does have different pronunciation.
I understood the robots as being human controlled (which would explain why they use plain old guns, since special forces members controlling them would be more familiar with such weapons) or at least them still following human orders during the trailer. The professional looking robots with Russian markings on their suits are only introduced after the Russian speaking man says "Then we would find you.". Remember they where searching for something and even broke down a door while the guardian and the AI where discussing the idea of the AI hiding. Then after the name of the movie flashes up we see a glimpse of something they rant into after breaking down the door.
The whole "What makes you think I don't want to be found?" line makes the AI come off as super villain or trickster supernatural entity rather than Skynet to my sensibilities.
Re-watched the clip. Tried to pay better attention. Looks like you're right.
The cambots seem to be human proxies searching for a nascent AI. Nice twist.
The robots may or may not be controlled by the AI. And if they are, it may still be before it is unboxed. Here's hoping.
It's Russian. The AI speaks using a pretty terrible text-to-speech synthesizer, also in Russian. Also, the AI's subtitles are wrong: it says, "I'm talking about the possibility of hiding... from the isolation" (meaning, presumably, that it wants to sneak out of the box), whereas the subtitles say, "...but it's isolating".
