A.I. Revolution A.I. tools like ChatGPT seem to think, speak and create like humans. But what are they really doing? From cancer cures to Terminator-style takeovers, leading experts explore what A.I. can--and can’t--do today, and what lies ahead. Miles O’Brien investigates how researchers are trying to transform the world using A.I., hunting for big solutions in fields from medicine to climate change.
Agree to Disagree: Will Artificial Intelligence Do More Harm Than Good?: A Debate (51:30) Artificial intelligence (AI) has made great advances in recent years and become more a part of our everyday lives. Many argue that AI will help solve major problems like climate change and world hunger. It will also help improve the economy and make it more efficient, they contend, by eliminating dangerous and mundane jobs. But critics warn that AI's current trajectory is a dangerous one, which will likely concentrate power, increase unemployment, surveil consumers and voters, and threaten democracy. These conditions are not based on science fiction, they argue, but are already occurring, given the number of algorithms we engage with on a daily basis. Will artificial intelligence do more harm than good?
AI vs Human Brain: The Final Showdown (52:42) In May 2014, physicist Stephen Hawking and leading scientists sent warning notes about AI uncontrolled development which could seriously threaten humanity. Between fantasy and reality, this film aims at clarifying what AI is really about today and how far it has been developed. Should we take these warnings seriously?
Are You Scared Yet, Human? From Amazon's Alexa to improvements in cancer care, artificial intelligence is changing our world. But today leading tech figures from Silicon Valley worry about the future that's being created. Brad Smith, president of Microsoft, believes George Orwell's 1984 could become reality by 2024. Panorama has uncovered new evidence of AI being used by police in China to recognise the emotions of detainees in order to help determine guilt or innocence. China has vowed to become the world's AI superpower by 2030, sparking a new arms race with America. Both countries are pouring billions into cutting-edge military tech, including autonomous weapons. AI could usher in a golden age, but without urgent regulation, experts warn we could lose control of artificial intelligence, a prospect, they say, that should scare us all.
Grokking Artificial Intelligence Algorithms (7:28)
HBO Vice Special Report: The Future of Work (54:39) The next Industrial Revolution is upon us, and the way we work in 2019 is already unrecognizable to previous generations. Whole industries are in the process of being automated, with workers being replaced by AI and algorithms – and America is only now grappling with the huge questions raised by this shift. Produced in partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations, VICE Special Report: The Future of Work examines how radical developments in automation and artificial intelligence are set to change the world of work as we know it. Hosted by VICE News correspondent Krishna Andavolu, with contributions from correspondents Gianna Toboni and Michael Moynihan, the special looks at how entire industries are being disrupted, and how these changes are upending the global economy. Over the course of an hour, VICE correspondents sit down with a wide variety of experts – including Nobel Laureate economists, CEOs, and workers whose jobs will radically change in the years to come – documenting how industries that long seemed immune from automation, such as fast food, contract law and long-haul trucking, are rapidly being automated, with workers replaced by AI and algorithms.
In the Age of AI (01:53:16) It has been called "the new Space Race." This time it is China taking on the United States, and the race is to seize control of a technology with the potential to change everything: the way we work; how we play; how our democracy functions; how the world could be realigned. Frontline explores some of the ways in which our world is being re-shaped and reimagined by the technology of artificial intelligence, a sea change that has been compared to the Industrial Revolution and the discovery of electricity. The film explores both the peril and the promise of this ascendant technology: tracing the battle between the U.S. and China to harness its power; examining fears about what AI advances mean for the future of work; and revealing how AI algorithms are ushering in an age of both great problem-solving potential and of new and troubling threats to privacy and democracy.
The Joy of AI (59:15) Professor Jim al-Khalili takes a sharp-witted and optimistic look at machines that can simulate, augment, and even outperform the human mind – and why we should not let this spook us. He tells the story of the pursuit of AI, the emergence of machine learning, and the recent breakthroughs brought about by artificial neural networks. See how spam filters use AI to weed out v!agr@ as well as Viagra from your inbox; meet a cutting-edge chatbot; see why a few altered pixels makes a computer think it is looking at a trombone rather than a dog; and talk to Demis Hassabis, the AI wizard who heads DeepMind.

The Matrix Collection Contains four films about a computer hacker who realizes the world is an elaborate deception created by all-powerful machines of artifical intelligence. In Matrix, in an anti-utopian future, the "real" world is a computer construct, created by an all-powerful artificial intelligence. A small group of humans has found a way out of the construct and is now fighting for the future of the human race. In Matrix reloaded, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army. In their quest to save the human race from extinction, they gain greater insight into the construction of The Matrix and Neo's pivotal role in the fate of mankind. In Matrix revolutions, Neo remains unconscious in the real world, caught in a mysterious subway station that lies between the machine world and the matrix. Bane is still a conduit for Agent Smith, who continues to grow more out of control. Meanwhile, the sentinels are coming dangerously close to Zion. Neo, after meeting The Oracle, decides he must leave Zion and go for the machine mainframe. The Animatrix is a collection of nine animated short films, detailing the backstory of the "Matrix" universe, and the original war between man and machines which led to the creation of the Matrix
