A.rtificial I.mmortality

For fear of being replaced by an artificial intelligence, a filmmaker explores the creative limits of such technology; that leads him into a loop of existential questions and philosophical reflections on art and its relationship to the origin of existence.

Immortalité, dernière frontière

What does the looming A.I. revolution mean for us as individuals and as a society?

How much do we truly know about the technology we are creating? With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, or, A.I. There has been a rise in speculation, Theories, and beliefs about this so called "Gift". Technology is not evil in of itself. However, is there a limit to how far humans should take technology? From electricity, to the Metaverse, where does or should this end? In this Documentary, you will be shown the origins, advancements, and heavily debated future in this award-winning documentary

A.I. guru Ben Goertzel grew up in a hippie community in Oregon during the Vietnam War. Inspired by science fiction, he imagined a perfect rational world that would transcend 1970s’ America. Ben has dedicated his life to developing OpenCog, a software that models the human mind. If Ben’s design works, OpenCog will become a human-like general intelligence. But for OpenCog to work, it needs a body.

A college student searches for justice after she discovers deepfake pornography of herself circulating online.

The Machine That Feels

In 1772, Englishwoman Mary Delany wrote to her niece: “I have found a new way of imitating flowers.” The imitation in question was the art form called decoupage, based on cut-outs and reshuffling of pictures. The charm and botanical precision of these works attracts attention of even today’s artists, among others by an anonymous programmer who is trying to invent a way of capturing the flowers’ vivacity in pictures. With this aim in mind, she has created an algorithm, which would combine science and beauty, similarly to Delaney’s efforts, whose illustrations it is meant to animate.

Are we prepared for dealing with the prospect that humanity is not the end of evolution? Technocalyps is an intriguing three-part documentary on the notion of transhumanism by Belgian visual artist and filmmaker Frank Theys. The latest findings in genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, bionics and nanotechnology appear in the media every day, but with no analysis of their common aim: that of exceeding human limitations. The director conducts his enquiry into the scientific, ethical and metaphysical dimensions of technological development.

Professor Jim Al-Khalili looks at how we have created machines that can simulate, augment, and even outperform the human mind - and why we shouldn't let this spook us. He reveals the story of the pursuit of AI, the emergence of machine learning and the recent breakthroughs brought about by artificial neural networks. He shows how AI is not only changing our world but also challenging our very ideas of intelligence and consciousness. Along the way, we'll investigate spam filters, meet a cutting-edge chatbot, look at why a few altered pixels makes a computer think it's looking at a trombone rather than a dog and talk to Demis Hassabis, who heads DeepMind and whose stated mission is to 'solve intelligence, and then use that to solve everything else'. Stephen Hawking remarked 'AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation. Or the worst'. Jim argues that AI is a potent new tool that should enhance our lives, not replace us.

Pioneering Australian bio-artists SymbioticA showcase their “Sunlight, Soil & Shit (De)Cycle” project, the latest in a long line of potential technological solutions to the looming global food crisis. Will it save humanity from its doom? Where are the investors?

Through a transcript attempting to prove Google's recent Artificial Intelligence, LaMDA's sentience, we explore how we form connections and the implications of big tech using this technology.

Exploring provocative viewpoints from engineers, factory workers, journalists, philosophers and Asimov himself, The Truth About Killer Robots is a cautionary tale about a world automating beyond control.

About modeling some principles of the brain.

The near future. A fantastic experiment using the test of the mathematician Alan Turing, in which an examiner, a human, and a robot take part. During the test, the examiner must determine who is behind the wall: a person or a thinking machine. The experiment is conducted with one goal: to find out whether a machine can think.

INHUMAN: THE NEXT AND FINAL PHASE OF MAN IS HERE is not fiction or a mockudrama. but a new investigative documentary from the internationally acclaimed team at Defender Films and Raiders News Productions. Inhuman travels the globe to unveil for the first time how breakthrough advances in science, technology, and philosophy—including cybernetics, bioengineering, nanotechnology, machine intelligence, and synthetic biology—are poised to create mind-boggling game-changes to everything we have known until now about Homo sapiens.

Dr Hannah Fry and a virtual host present a new way of making television, as the BBC uses artificial intelligence to delve into the treasures of the BBC Archive.

The story of The Beatles' last song featuring exclusive footage and commentary.

The filmmaker Jeppe Rønde has invited 10 of the world's foremost researchers - and a robot! - to rethink our relationship with technology and its dilemmas from the outside. Philosophers, anthropologists, archaeologists and programmers show us through their thought experiments that our relationship with technology is just as much about our relationship with ourselves.

The ancient Chinese game of Go has long been considered a grand challenge for artificial intelligence. Yet in 2016, Google's DeepMind team announced that they would be taking on Lee Sedol, the world's most elite Go champion. AlphaGo chronicles the team as it prepares to test the limits of its rapidly-evolving AI technology. The film pits man against machine, and reveals as much about the workings of the human mind as it does the future of AI.
