What about the AI in “Person of interest” ?
I’ve not seen that one. Is it worth seeing? I’ll add it to my watchlist, as I do with all the recommendations that come up on the film threads.
As always, the point of this exercise is to alert people to good/interesting current films, as opposed to the garbage that the film industry spews out nonstop. We’re looking for the hidden gems. Not everything will be to everyone’s taste, but that’s ok.
These two films are good. They’re thoughtful. They raise serious questions in a responsible way. These aren’t Borg movies.
Haven’t seen “Person Of Interest”.
Reading the summary at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1839578/, that may finally be an accurate portrayal - so long as the AI simply acts as a machine-learning tool which triggers on data as predictive of impending crime. Such systems are being developed. It’s “AI” insofar as nobody deliberately understood & programmed it to detect likely outcomes, but instead is a machine-learning system which develops by tweaking its own settings to those favorably matching the desired result (usually by observing human response to the data, a la “prove you’re not a robot” image selection tests which are literally teaching robots how to act like humans). Tesla’s self-driving cars are a prime example of this technology: it’s AI, which shows no semblance of “intentional decision”.
The fun will be a movie, and onset of reality, where a ML AI does start “thinking” past humans: say, a self-driving car which not only takes you from location A to B, but “decides” you should be at C instead and takes you there - and is right.
