Think he died at the end? I think she set it up so he would be released once the power came back on right?
Like a vaguely hopeful note. Kinda. Perhaps our future robot overlords will be kind?

Pretty sure actually giving a shit about whether a human lives or dies isn't in their wheelhouse.

Well, Ex Machina got me thinking about the whole A.I. thing and could it really go that wrong? So I read a couple of books specifically on the subject (especially after comments by Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk on the subject). Conclusion? It can (and probably will) go very, very wrong. That movie wasn't unrealistic at all.
And yes the cinematography was stunning. Very Kubrick.

Well that's the problem, though: the law on unintended consequences. We have no idea if these things would have something like pity, or compassion.
Maybe that's why the left the ending open: because we don't know what she would do, and that's the point.
