Conflict between man and machine has been a science fiction staple for over a century. From '2001: A Space Odyssey' to 'The Terminator' the perceived threat posed by super-intelligent robots has been exploited by Hollywood for decades. But do advances in Artificial Intelligence mean we are now facing a future in which that threat could become a reality? In this feature documentary the world’s top experts clash over whether the existential risk posed by A.I. is superseded by the promise of exponential gain. In an examination of a future we struggle to imagine and the scientific juggernaut that is taking us there; one thing is clear - 'We Need To Talk About A.I.'.
"In cinema and literature, one of the most relevant - and therefore most explored - topics is that of Artificial Intelligence, or A.I.: its viability, its moral and ethical problems, and its hypothetical coexistence with humanity, for better or for worse. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Leanne Pooley ('Minds at Play') and narrated by Keir Dullea ('2001: A Space Odyssey'), 'We Need to Talk About A.I.' brings together various interviews with experts, exploring the different possible scenarios from the invention of an A.I. as complex and powerful as the human mind, from the most catastrophic scenarios in the style of 'The Terminator', to the most benevolent ones. A must-see movie for fans of the subject."
