We Need to Talk About A.I.

Discusses the potential of AI with clear, thought provoking questions. The variety of opinions expressed by featured leading academics gives you a wide picture of the future in this field, making you do exactly as the title entails. Talk about AI.

... from the world of A.I. as just about every possible scenario is forecast for its future use and application over every possible time scale - all through opinions, without too much evidence, from so called "geeks" and "nerds" who must have recently read Philosophy for Dummies.

Also doubles as a Terminator franchise promotion, because time travel is also likely to happen! Blade Runner would have been a far better reference for a lot of the discussions.

This is a fascinating look at an important subject. As a fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey I thought using Kubrick's film to frame this conversation was both relevant and entertaining. He warned us what might happen 60 years ago and this documentary explains why everything he said is still relevant. We do need to talk about it.

I really liked this film. The people interviewed were nearly all insiders not just external commentators. And some really important people who know what they are talking about. That gives is real weight for me. And they were allowed to speak properly, not cut into little sound bites. Didn't agree with some of what was said but hey - that's the point of a discussion! Really good film. Well made and personally I loved the 2001 theme with the narrator. Clever!

There is a variety of interesting (if at times somewhat shallow) subjects covered in this film, with some of the greatest minds in the field offering their insights. Unfortunately, it is severely undercut by ridiculous narration more on par with a paranormal documentary on the Discovery channel. The Baby X part was particularly interesting, would love to see a doc on that.
