We Need to Talk about A.I.

In We Need to Talk about A.I., director Leanne Pooley (Untouchable Girls) examines the world of artificial intelligence. The documentary gathers leaders in physics, neuroscience and philosophy to unpack this new frontier. The experts offer differing views on what some call "the most important conversation in human history". Among the questions touched on : will AI change life for the better? Will it destroy humanity or save it? And how can people prepare for a future involving AI? The documentary is narrated by American actor Keir Dullea, who faced off against an unhelpful AI in classic movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.

.... a thought-provoking documentary about the future of AI, producing a balanced perspective on the subject of artificial intelligence and the ethical questions that brings with it ... [the documentary thrives] when it lets its experts duel it out in separate interviews. While discussing whether AI will overtake us and potentially kill humanity there’s some lovely back and forth segments... .
