What We Need to Talk About A.I. Is About

The conflict between people and machines has been told for a century. Science fiction has gone over it many times. 2001: A Space Odyssey is one of those films. The Terminator is another. The documentary opens with images of that kind. Then it puts the real question. Does the progress in artificial intelligence make that threat actual. The film puts this to specialists. People from physics, neuroscience and philosophy speak. They do not agree with each other. Some put the size of the risk first. Others say the gain is larger. James Cameron, Sam Harris and Bryan Johnson are among those interviewed. Keir Dullea narrates, the actor who played the astronaut facing the computer in that space film. The eighty six minute film was released on 20 April 2020, a New Zealand and American production Leanne Pooley finished that year.
