Episode description
We explore the contrasting visions of artificial intelligence in Alphaville (1965) and Tron (1982). These films tackle the idea of A.I. in control, from the dystopian, emotionless world of Alphaville, ruled by a supercomputer, to the digital frontier of Tron, where A.I. dictates the rules of an entire virtual universe.
Join us as we examine the risks and potential of A.I. governance through these iconic sci-fi films.
