The general sci-fi theme, I think, is 'what is it to be human?'

An additional theme is using replicants (biorobotic android) as a symbol for how we treat other humans...

Because seriously, the human race has better things to do than worry about how we might treat AI (artificial intelligence) in the future -- namely how we treat other humans today, which is severely lacking. We don't even know how we'd recognize if the AI was "conscious", as AI techs are simply trying to simulate it... the goal is to fool ourselves into thinking the AI is conscious, when humans are so anthropomorphic to begin with... a notable conflict of interest. Not to mention we haven't really come to a conclusion as to what human consciousness is yet.
