Artificial Human Intelligence and the Movies – Will Computers Rule the World?

Believe it or not, from the earliest part of human history, there is evidence of artificial intelligence (AI).

From Hal in “2001: A Space Odyssey” to “Wargames” to “Terminator,” explore how popular films have used this theme to present a darker future for AI. Presented by Dr. Robert Wheelersburg, this program is sponsored by the Lifelong Discovery Fund.
