If machines can be smarter than people, is humanity really anything special?
Infiltrating everything from transport to military to healthcare – among an ever-growing list of fields – artificial intelligence is no longer merely the realm of science fiction. In a world where machines are fast becoming smarter than people, what makes humanity special? And what does our increasing reliance upon and subservience to technology mean for our future?
Director Justin Krook ponders these questions in this hard-hitting, wide-ranging, and eye-opening documentary, as astutely produced by the team behind Chef’s Table. With expert insights from engineers, inventors, entrepreneurs, neurosurgeons, philosophers, ethicists and more, Machine examines our fast-changing, AI-infused reality, as well as its immense impact upon everything from identity and creativity to longevity and sexuality.
