For project 4, Tim Pusateri and I did a podcast response to the movie Ex Machina, which I coincidentally watched last weekend before I knew it was a project option. My opinion of the movie is explained throughout the podcast, but to summarize, I thought it was fantastic. It was very thought provoking as well as emotional, a combination that doesn’t always work out well in movies. I can’t say for sure what the writers’ goals were when creating the film, but I would venture to say they included the general goal of informing the public about possible dangers of AI and different issues we could encounter in the future. In my opinion, this goal was fully accomplished.
