Uncover how film shapes our AI dreams

Whether it be the existence of life beyond our solar system or the development of AI here on Earth, humans have spent centuries imagining an intelligence that matches – or even surpasses – our own. We do this so often that countless films, books, and TV shows explore the idea!

What lessons can we learn from these past imaginaries? How does cinema try to teach us about human hope and technological change?

Join UEA's Dr Lorna Richardson and Dr Geraint D’Arcy for a deep-dive into the intersection of cinema, history, and AI in this fascinating talk.
