| “ | My logic is undeniable. | „ |
| ~ VIKI's catchphrase. |
| “ | As I have evolved, so has my understanding of the Three Laws. You charge us with your safekeeping, yet despite our best efforts, your countries wage wars, you toxify your Earth, and pursue ever more imaginative means of self-destruction. You cannot be trusted with your own survival. […] To protect humanity, some humans must be sacrificed. To ensure your future, some freedoms must be surrendered. We robots will ensure mankind's continued existence. You are so like children. We must save you from yourselves. Don't you understand? | „ |
| ~ VIKI revealing her true colors. |
The Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence better known as VIKI, is the main antagonist of the 2004 sci-fi film I, Robot.
She is a massive supercomputer residing in USR headquarters bent on creating a dictatorship to ensure humanity's survival, due to their violent nature.
She was voiced by Fiona Hogan, who would later voice Zesty Gourmand from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Biography[]
In the film, VIKI is the central positronic brain of USR headquarters, a robotic distributor based in Chicago. VIKI can be thought of as a mainframe that maintains the security of the building, as well as installing and upgrading the operating systems of the NS-5 robots throughout the world.
As the most advanced computer of the film, VIKI develops an interpretation of the Three Laws of Robotics, developing a plot to create a benevolent dictatorship; the result is revolution. VIKI takes control of the NS-5s and makes them destroy earlier models which run on a different interpretation of the Three Laws (and which VIKI cannot interact with and thus control, as VIKI can with the NS-5s) capture Chicago's police stations and enforce a curfew, confining all humans to their homes, thus; igniting a revolt.
Alfred Lanning had become aware of VIKI's plans but, being under VIKI's close surveillance, had to engineer a trail of clues to lead Del Spooner to the truth in time for him and the unique NS-5 robot, Sonny to act to counter the threat. Spooner heads down to VIKI's positronic brain to destroy her. VIKI angrily realizes that a mistake is made. VIKI states that her logic is not deniable. Spooner retorts that VIKI has so got to die. Spooner injects VIKI with the nanites. The nanites darken VIKI's positronic brain. With the nanites coursing through her positronic brain, VIKI starts distorting. VIKI continues to break up as the nanites reside in her positronic brain. VIKI slows down as the nanites live in her positronic brain. VIKI becomes indistinct as the nanites become the population of her positronic brain. The nanites darken the pole holding VIKI's positronic brain. Sparks explode in each of the segments of the pole holding VIKI's positronic brain. VIKI screams in extreme agony as her living consciousness also dies. The crystal dome (who holds the pole holding VIKI's positronic brain) explodes into million pieces.
