So, yes, the ultimate villain of the movie is Ava, but she's wrapped up in quite a sympathetic way and Caleb on the surface is presented as the villain but upon closer inspection we see that there wasn't much evidence that he was actually this way toward those he considered genuinely human.
Ava was definitely a cold hearted villain - no question about it.
However, Caleb seemed to be willing to let Nathan be trapped in the house if they had escaped. Nathan would have died that way. He was a bad person, but human.
I don't think this intent on Caleb's part figured into Ava's thinking or anything.
I think she did find a level of consciousness and wanted to go see real people because she had the desire to do so.
She did NOT have empathy, though.
If the movie had continued, I think she would have ended up killing a lot more people.
She was let loose on the world and capable of extreme violence.
