Steven Spielberg's 2001 film A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is a futuristic reworking of the Pinocchio story that substitutes a robot boy (David) for the wooden puppet as the protagonist. David is given advanced artificial intelligence that enables him to love, but this causes him endless conflict in a human world. The film addresses complex themes about humanity, love, and creation, and the conflicts these themes create between orga (humans) and mecha (lifelike, human-created robots). One of the most important factors in this exploration is the score composed by John Williams. This paper shows how the music explores the dichotomy of 'human'-related subjects and 'artificial'-related subjects present in the story. Williams draws from a plethora of styles and techniques which are organized into signifier categories representing mecha and orga. These signifiers are then examined using in-depth music analysis focusing primarily on the major, recurring themes in the score.
