Plug & Pray

Deutschland 2009/2010 Dokumentarfilm

Summary

The construction of intelligent machines is one of civilized mankind′s oldest dreams. The documentary "Plug & Pray" presents the current state of research in the field of "artificial intelligence", while also showing the concerns of sceptics and critics. Leading international scientists offer first-hand insight into their impressive, often fantasy-like projects. On the other side, computer pioneer Joseph Weizenbaum voices grave criticism when it comes to the ambitious aims of his colleagues: He dissects their visions of technological omnipotence from a humanist viewpoint – and paints a frightening picture of our future.
