EX MACHINA

A young programmer who works in one of the largest computer companies in the world wins a prize in a competition: spending a week’s holiday in the private mansion of the company’s executive president. There he will have to take part in a strange and fascinating experiment: interacting with the first artificial intelligence in the world, which lives in the body of a beautiful female robot.

Ex Machina (2015) is considered one of the best film explorations of a computer’s ability to generate the morally important powers of a person. It poses questions such as the advance of robotics and artificial intelligence, humans’ relationship with robots and the limits between human intelligence and strategic artificial intelligence that is difficult to control. After the screening, Francesc Núñez and Carme Torras will hold a short discussion about these issues moderated by Pau Alsina.
