Artificial intelligence is a relevant topic in the 21st century.
Nowadays, movies have been released putting forward robots with skills equal or even superior (emotionally, physically...) to those of humans; Robots that care about the environment and others capable of destroying the whole earth. These movies were born not from the creativity of scientists but the fruits of increasingly creative directors asking themselves a series of "What if".
Today, I propose you to have a more critical look and to watch some documentaries that relate the facts about a society that is more and more digitalized and for which AI is a daily life companion. These documentaries will allow you to be more open and to understand the world around us and the changes that are taking place.
