What deeper issues are raised by the presence of robots and artificial intelligence in sci-fi literature and cinema?

I think that most of the time, robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Science Fiction serve to ask the deeper questions "What does it mean to be human?," "What inherent value is there to life?," and "What does it mean to have a soul?" From Asimov's three laws to the current Battlestar Gallactica Cylons, those questions have been addressed. Other questions arise as well... can man make something that works better than himself? what is morality? can you build it into a machine? is some life more important than other life? if so, which? :) Some stories talk of man expanding his life-span by gaining artificial parts or even adopting a full robot body... or not always expanding, but perhaps improving. Those ask other questions about the quality of life and acceptance of invasive technology. :) ... I'd say that, even though I haven't covered all of the deeper issues by far, that most of them revolve around questions we want to ask about ourselves. By using robots and Artificial Intelligence we can ask those questions, and questions about God and supreme power, in a more objective way.

Why is a movie not literature?
Literature is a single body of written works, especially those considered of superior or artistic merit and can remain in a library 'for ever'. Writing is considered as an art form and employs language in a way that differs from ordinary usage. A movie is executed by sight, it is a visual art. Cinema films have the power to influence the thinking of the people. Films can change society and social trends. Both literature and the cinema possess intellectual value. In short, a movie is to watch and literature is to read
