#103 – Ex Machina

In this Future Classics, David put forward Alex Garland's Ex
Machina. This 2014 exploration of the ethics of creating an AI
that can pass for human features three stellar lead performances
and one great supporting turn. David, Brett, and Nicole discussed
what happens when an arrogant "bro" designs his dream robot, what
the implications are of gathering its behavioral data from stolen
search engine patterns, and if it's fair to bias your Turing
tester. Tune in to check out these points, plus find out how to
entertain yourself in a Norwegian lab in a way that isn't a waste
of time.
