Prometheus introduces audiences to the character of David, who is an android serving under the owner of the Weyland corporation, Peter Weyland. He also harbors ambitions of creating a life of his own and is instrumental in the killing of his owner. After he is freed, he experiments with alien lifeform, creating his own version of the Xenomorphs. The movie thus highlights the important role of AI in the movie.
