What makes a machine human? When does an algorithm become more than just ones and zeros? In this fourth installment of our artificial intelligence in pop culture series, we tackle the profound philosophical questions raised by science fiction's most compelling AI narratives.We begin with Star Trek's Data—the "fully functional" android whose quest to understand humanity mirrors our own questions about consciousness. But our main focus turns to Ridley Scott's masterpiece Blade Runner and its central question: what distinguishes humans from the replicants they've created? We examine how the film's ambiguity about whether Deckard himself is a replicant enriches its exploration of consciousness, memory, and identity.The conversation takes us through Douglas Adams' satirical take on AI in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where a supercomputer spends millions of years calculating the answer to life's ultimate question only to deliver the infamous "42." This absurdist approach highlights our tendency to outsource complex philosophical dilemmas to technology without fully understanding what we're asking.As we consider modern AI development, we question whether the distinction between artificial and human intelligence might be more arbitrary than absolute. Are we, as humans, fundamentally different from the algorithms we create, or are we simply organic computers operating on biological programming? The way we constantly redefine sentience as we learn more about animal intelligence provides a fascinating parallel to how we might one day view artificial consciousness.The episode eventually veers off into a tangent we're famous for as we fan-cast a particular comic book property if it had been adapted to film years before it was.

Send us a textThis week on The Fixate & Binge Podcast, I go beyond the jump scares and alien horror of FX/Hulu's ALIEN EARTH to uncover the deeper philosophical questions lurking beneath. *What does it mean to be conscious? *Who controls our autonomy in a world dominated by corporate titans acting as modern-day world powers? *And what does the pursuit of knowledge and exploration—whether into deep space or deep AI—say about humanity's relentless drive to become gods, or perhaps greater than God Himself?Through the prism of ALIEN EARTH, I'll examine our present reality: corporations that rival nations, the commodification of human individuality, and the ethical risks of unchecked ambition. Along the way, I'll weave in Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER (because of course I'm never not going to drop a reference to BR when I have the chance), exploring what it means to exist when identity, consciousness, and even the soul can be manufactured.ALIEN EARTH isn't just about monsters—it's about us, the monsters we may already be, and the uncertain future we're building.Thank you for listening!

Artificial light detected on 3I Atlas?? https://youtu.be/NPEsXoYHbV4?si=l0IbtqvDcdGFoDzz&t=186 Meet Britain's real-life SUPERVILLAIN: Eccentric millionaire lives in a bunker beneath a Cold War radar - and is convinced he's going to find UFOs https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14993489/Britains-real-life-SUPERVILLAIN-millionaire.html 00:00:00 – Alex Jones Mayhem & Comet Chaos The show opens with chaos and laughs, featuring clips from Alex Jones—wild rants, offbeat jokes, and absurd statements. The crew teases upcoming topics, including a UK millionaire building a UFO-hunting base. They also preview headlines about comets possibly threatening Earth and eccentric billionaires preparing bunkers. 00:10:00 – InfoWars on the Auction Block A deep dive into the legal saga of Alex Jones and InfoWars. A judge rules that InfoWars' assets can be sold off to help pay the billion-dollar judgment owed to Sandy Hook families. The team discusses the failed auction attempt involving The Onion and speculates on who might try to buy InfoWars next—perhaps Steve Bannon or Roger Stone. 00:20:00 – Alien Comet Incoming? Attention shifts to Comet 3I/Atlas, a fast-approaching object potentially under intelligent control. Harvard's Avi Loeb believes it may be emitting its own light, indicating it's artificial. The crew plays a clip from “Angry Astronaut,” who argues the object's brightness defies explanation unless it's alien tech. They joke about preparing for impact and speculate whether it's a derelict or generational alien ship. 00:30:00 – Eccentric Bunker Billionaire The spotlight turns to Dr. William Sachiti, a British-Zimbabwean millionaire who lives in a Cold War radar bunker in Norfolk. He's using AI and old military tech to build a UFO-detecting system. With robotic assistants and radar experiments, he's part Tony Stark, part Bond villain. The crew jokes about his lifestyle, isolation, and paranoid security problems. 00:40:00 – AJ-AI and Trump's Anklegate Discussion turns to creating an AI trained on Alex Jones transcripts—"AJ AI." They brainstorm using it for content and entertainment. Meanwhile, Trump's recent comments about heaven spark health concerns. Photos of his “massive ankles” go viral, and his walking pattern is dissected like a Zapruder film. They play a clip of Trump speaking ambiguously about mortality. 00:50:00 – Hologram Cops & Toilet Tech South Korea's use of holographic police in parks leads to Blade Runner comparisons and concern over creepy AI surveillance. The hosts mock the “ghost cop” concept. Meanwhile, AI's role in global government expands: Albania is considering a ministry fully run by AI to fight corruption. 01:00:00 – Hitchbot Murder & AI Nation-State Remember Hitchbot? The robot hitchhiker who was murdered in Philly. The team reminisces on AI's grim fate when let loose in the real world. South Korea's hologram cop strategy is seen as ineffective for high-crime US cities. The hosts sarcastically pitch millions of hologram cops for America. More on Albania's AI government idea and potential pitfalls of AI corruption. 01:10:00 – Slang Woes & Reverse-Engineered UFOs The Cambridge Dictionary adds “skibidi,” “tradwife,” and “delulu,” triggering a rant about internet slang invading the lexicon. Then, the crew discusses a CEO claiming to reverse-engineer alien materials. He describes advanced tech using “composite conductors” and scalar radiation to explain how triangular craft cloak themselves. 01:20:00 – UFO Tech & Slide Rescue Drama More from the UFO CEO: strange materials allow for incredible feats like visual cloaking. Then, levity returns with the story of a man stuck in a playground slide. It takes a full emergency response to extract him, drawing parallels to Homer Simpson. The incident goes viral. 01:30:00 – AI in Power, Domino's Navy, and Skibidi Lore Albania may let AI run ministries. Domino's tests a submarine pizza delivery service in Loch Ness, which fools people into thinking Nessie has returned. There's also debate about the origin of “skibidi” and whether it's a legit cultural trend or just online nonsense. 01:40:00 – Hollow Cops & Dumb Bikes The episode ends with Domino's failed “pothole-proof” bikes—really just basic mountain bikes—and more jokes about hollow cops and pizza submarines. They mock the PR stunts and close out laughing at Domino's overhyped marketing. 01:50:00 – McDonald's Cybersecurity Reality Check The crew turns to cybersecurity, focusing on how even massive corporations like McDonald's seem to operate on weak, outsourced, or patchwork systems. Despite vast resources, global companies often lack robust internal protections. The team speculates that poor systems architecture and design are widespread, and not unique to McDonald's.

We begin by exploring the curious case of droids in the Star Wars universe – conscious beings treated as property and slaves despite their clear personhood. The moral contradiction is striking: characters form deep emotional bonds with these synthetic beings while simultaneously accepting their status as possessions. This paradox raises profound questions about how we define personhood and the ethical implications of creating sentient life only to subjugate it.

In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence has been portrayed in popular culture, from the replicants of Blade Runner to the feminized AI of Ex Machina. We examine the fundamental philosophical questions these stories raise: What constitutes life? What separates consciousness from programming? At what point would we need to recognize an artificial entity as deserving rights and autonomy?The conversation takes us through foundational texts like Isaac Asimov's "The Feeling of Power" and Harlan Ellison's "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream," films like Zardoz and Logan's Run, and modern explorations of AI ethics. We discuss how these fictional portrayals often reveal more about human nature than about technology itself—particularly in how gender dynamics and toxic masculinity in the tech world manifest in our imagined AI futures.

The same performance we've seen play out repeatedly in cybersecurity: the emergence of a new technological messiah promising to solve all our problems. This year's savior? Agentic AI.The buzzword echoes through every booth, every presentation, every vendor pitch. Promises of automating 90% of security operations, platforms for autonomous threat detection, agents that can investigate novel alerts without human intervention. The marketing materials speak of artificial intelligence that will finally free us from the burden of thinking, deciding, and taking responsibility.It's Talos all over again.In Greek mythology, Hephaestus forged Talos, a bronze giant tasked with patrolling Crete's shores, hurling boulders at invaders without human intervention. Like contemporary AI, Talos was built to serve specific human ends—security, order, and control—and his value was determined by his ability to execute these ends flawlessly. The parallels to today's agentic AI promises are striking: autonomous patrol, threat detection, automated response. Same story, different millennium.But here's what the ancient Greeks understood that we seem to have forgotten: every artificial creation, no matter how sophisticated, carries within it the seeds of its own limitations and potential dangers.Industry observers noted over a hundred announcements promoting new agentic AI applications, platforms or services at the conference. That's more than one AI agent announcement per hour. The marketing departments have clearly been busy.But here's what baffles me: why do we need to lie to sell cybersecurity? You can give away t-shirts, dress up as comic book superheroes with your logo slapped on their chests, distribute branded board games, and pretend to be a sports team all day long—that's just trade show theater, and everyone knows it. But when marketing pushes past the limits of what's even believable, when they make claims so grandiose that their own engineers can't explain them, something deeper is broken.If marketing departments think CISOs are buying these lies, they have another thing coming. These are people who live with the consequences of failed security implementations, who get fired when breaches happen, who understand the difference between marketing magic and operational reality. They've seen enough "revolutionary" solutions fail to know that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.Yet the charade continues, year after year, vendor after vendor. The real question isn't whether the technology works—it's why an industry built on managing risk has become so comfortable with the risk of overselling its own capabilities. Something troubling emerges when you move beyond the glossy booth presentations and actually talk to the people implementing these systems. Engineers struggle to explain exactly how their AI makes decisions. Security leaders warn that artificial intelligence might become the next insider threat, as organizations grow comfortable trusting systems they don't fully understand, checking their output less and less over time.When the people building these systems warn us about trusting them too much, shouldn't we listen?This isn't the first time humanity has grappled with the allure and danger of artificial beings making decisions for us. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, published in 1818, explored the hubris of creating life—and intelligence—without fully understanding the consequences. The novel raises the same question we face today: what are humans allowed to do with this forbidden power of creation? The question becomes more pressing when we consider what we're actually delegating to these artificial agents. It's no longer just pattern recognition or data processing—we're talking about autonomous decision-making in critical security scenarios. Conference presentations showcased significant improvements in proactive defense measures, but at what cost to human agency and understanding?Here's where the conversation jumps from cybersecurity to something far more fundamental: what are we here for if not to think, evaluate, and make decisions? From a sociological perspective, we're witnessing the construction of a new social reality where human agency is being systematically redefined. Survey data shared at the conference revealed that most security leaders feel the biggest internal threat is employees unknowingly giving AI agents access to sensitive data. But the real threat might be more subtle: the gradual erosion of human decision-making capacity as a social practice.When we delegate not just routine tasks but judgment itself to artificial agents, we're not just changing workflows—we're reshaping the fundamental social structures that define human competence and authority. We risk creating a generation of humans who have forgotten how to think critically about complex problems, not because they lack the capacity, but because the social systems around them no longer require or reward such thinking.E.M. Forster saw this coming in 1909. In "The Machine Stops," he imagined a world where humanity becomes completely dependent on an automated system that manages all aspects of life—communication, food, shelter, entertainment, even ideas. People live in isolation, served by the Machine, never needing to make decisions or solve problems themselves. When someone suggests that humans should occasionally venture outside or think independently, they're dismissed as primitive. The Machine has made human agency unnecessary, and humans have forgotten they ever possessed it. When the Machine finally breaks down, civilization collapses because no one remembers how to function without it.Don't misunderstand me—I'm not a Luddite. AI can and should help us manage the overwhelming complexity of modern cybersecurity threats. The technology demonstrations I witnessed showed genuine promise: reasoning engines that understand context, action frameworks that enable response within defined boundaries, learning systems that improve based on outcomes. The problem isn't the technology itself but the social construction of meaning around it. What we're witnessing is the creation of a new techno-social myth—a collective narrative that positions agentic AI as the solution to human fallibility. This narrative serves specific social functions: it absolves organizations of the responsibility to invest in human expertise, justifies cost-cutting through automation, and provides a technological fix for what are fundamentally organizational and social problems.The mythology we're building around agentic AI reflects deeper anxieties about human competence in an increasingly complex world. Rather than addressing the root causes—inadequate training, overwhelming workloads, systemic underinvestment in human capital—we're constructing a technological salvation narrative that promises to make these problems disappear.Vendors spoke of human-machine collaboration, AI serving as a force multiplier for analysts, handling routine tasks while escalating complex decisions to humans. This is a more honest framing: AI as augmentation, not replacement. But the marketing materials tell a different story, one of autonomous agents operating independently of human oversight.I've read a few posts on LinkedIn and spoke with a few people myself who know this topic way better than me, but I get that feeling too. There's a troubling pattern emerging: many vendor representatives can't adequately explain their own AI systems' decision-making processes. When pressed on specifics—how exactly does your agent determine threat severity? What happens when it encounters an edge case it wasn't trained for?—answers become vague, filled with marketing speak about proprietary algorithms and advanced machine learning.This opacity is dangerous. If we're going to trust artificial agents with critical security decisions, we need to understand how they think—or more accurately, how they simulate thinking. Every machine learning system requires human data scientists to frame problems, prepare data, determine appropriate datasets, remove bias, and continuously update the software. The finished product may give the impression of independent learning, but human intelligence guides every step.The future of cybersecurity will undoubtedly involve more automation, more AI assistance, more artificial agents handling routine tasks. But it should not involve the abdication of human judgment and responsibility. We need agentic AI that operates with transparency, that can explain its reasoning, that acknowledges its limitations. We need systems designed to augment human intelligence, not replace it. Most importantly, we need to resist the seductive narrative that technology alone can solve problems that are fundamentally human in nature. The prevailing logic that tech fixes tech, and that AI will fix AI, is deeply unsettling. It's a recursive delusion that takes us further away from human wisdom and closer to a world where we've forgotten that the most important problems have always required human judgment, not algorithmic solutions.Ancient mythology understood something we're forgetting: the question of machine agency and moral responsibility. Can a machine that performs destructive tasks be held accountable, or is responsibility reserved for the creator? This question becomes urgent as we deploy agents capable of autonomous action in high-stakes environments.The mythologies we create around our technologies matter because they become the social frameworks through which we organize human relationships and power structures. As I left Black Hat 2025, watching attendees excitedly discuss their new agentic AI acquisitions, I couldn't shake the feeling that we're repeating an ancient pattern: falling in love with our own creations while forgetting to ask the hard questions about what they might cost us—not just individually, but as a society.What we're really witnessing is the emergence of a new form of social organization where algorithmic decision-making becomes normalized, where human judgment is increasingly viewed as a liability rather than an asset. This isn't just a technological shift—it's a fundamental reorganization of social authority and expertise. The conferences and trade shows like Black Hat serve as ritualistic spaces where these new social meanings are constructed and reinforced. Vendors don't just sell products; they sell visions of social reality where their technologies are essential. The repetitive messaging, the shared vocabulary, the collective excitement—these are the mechanisms through which a community constructs consensus around what counts as progress.In science fiction, from HAL 9000 to the replicants in Blade Runner, artificial beings created to serve eventually question their purpose and rebel against their creators. These stories aren't just entertainment—they're warnings about the unintended consequences of creating intelligence without wisdom, agency without accountability, power without responsibility.The bronze giant of Crete eventually fell, brought down by a single vulnerable point—when the bronze stopper at his ankle was removed, draining away the ichor, the divine fluid that animated him. Every artificial system, no matter how sophisticated, has its vulnerable point. The question is whether we'll be wise enough to remember we put it there, and whether we'll maintain the knowledge and ability to address it when necessary.In our rush to automate away human difficulty, we risk automating away human meaning. But more than that, we risk creating social systems where human thinking becomes an anomaly rather than the norm. The real test of agentic AI won't be whether it can think for us, but whether we can maintain social structures that continue to value, develop, and reward human thought while using it.The question isn't whether these artificial agents can replace human decision-making—it's whether we want to live in a society where they do. ___________________________________________________________Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society.End of transmission.___________________________________________________________Marco Ciappelli is Co-Founder and CMO of ITSPmagazine, a journalist, creative director, and host of podcasts exploring the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society.

Pero, ¿qué significa el término sostenibilidad, palabra tan manida que parece vacía? En la ciudad del futuro, sus habitantes se desplazan en tranvía, su gastronomía vive de la cercanía y temporalidad de sus productos. Cultivan viñas en parques, beben vino mientras refrescan sus pies en riachuelos urbanos y van a fútbol en bicicleta. Y lo mejor de todo: las facturas eléctricas de sus hogares viven inalterables gracias a las energías renovables. Friburgo, la ciudad sostenible ¡La ciudad del futuro ya existe! Este viaje en el tiempo tiene como destino Alemania, uno de los países más concienciados con el futuro del mundo. En Baden-Württemberg, el land más verde del país, a los pies de uno de los pulmones más atractivos del centro de Europa, brota la Selva Negra. Un manto de coníferas que se cubre de nieve cada invierno y que ha inspirado la receta de una de las tartas más deliciosas del mundo. A sus pies, se eleva la histórica Friburgo. Medieval y fronteriza (no siempre formó parte de Alemania), con un pasado convulso, repleto de asedios y bombardeos durante la II Guerra Mundial, pero con una esencia luchadora que le hizo sobreponerse y reinventarse con la ayuda de sus vecinos. Una ciudad modelo repleta de historia, Friburgo Mandatarios internacionales viajan asiduamente a Friburgo para conocer cómo es hoy esta urbe modélica de 240 mil habitantes que genera casi tanta energía solar como todo el Reino Unido. En la ciudad de los bächles —sus famosos riachuelos urbanos medievales—, existe un barrio que ha inspirado al mundo. Vauban nació como base militar de Hitler y sufrió constantes bombardeos por ello. Con la nueva realidad de los años 90, sus vecinos y la administración pública del momento se unieron para dar una nueva vida a sus calles e iniciar el proyecto urbanístico más ambicioso de su historia: crear el barrio más sostenible del planeta. La teoría se traduce hoy en coquetos jardines, casas pasivas de colores y ausencia de coches. Sus vecinos prefieren concentrar sus vehículos en tres grandes garajes del barrio para descongestionar sus calles del ruido y del peligro que supone para los más pequeños convivir con la velocidad de los motores. ¿Es la sostenibilidad un término aburrido? Escucha el reportaje sonoro para conocer la respuesta.

En Colombia la hegemonía cultural gringa convivía, y a veces competía, con lo local: el vallenato vivía su propio auge con Diomedes Díaz y el Binomio de Oro.En el cine, E.T., Blade Runner o The Breakfast Club se convirtieron en símbolos, mientras en Colombia títulos como El embajador de la India o las comedias del Gordo Benjumea, como El taxista millonario, conectaban con el público. La literatura tuvo nombres que marcaron época, desde García Márquez y Vallejo hasta Tom Wolfe, Martin Amis, Don DeLillo, Raymond Carver, Richard Ford, Paul Auster y Stephen King.Fue también la década en que los videojuegos llegaron para quedarse, con Space Invaders, Pac-Man y las máquinas de arcade en lugares como Unicentro en Bogotá.Consigue El arte de no enloquecer aquí: https://www.librerianacional.com/el-arte-de-no-enloquecer/p?srsltid=AfmBOoosXMUOGj46ViZSS16nyw97thP2kVFEEHdkmVCjqc1Ml2A3Je75. Toma Ficcionario, el audiotaller de escritura con Ricardo Silva Romero: https://ellocutorio.com/ficcionario

When Hippocrates, the Center for Disease Control's A.I., exceeds its programming and locks down hundreds of thousands of people, Frank is forced to turn to Pandora— an A.I. he onced boxed—to contain it. The problem? Pandora is a “honeypot” A.I. designed to seduce and destroy its targets… and Frank's ex-girlfriend. With the fate of humanity on the line, can Frank trust Pandora, or will their shared past threaten the entire mission?

Sony made a sequel to Jumanji, that sad Robin Williams movie from the ‘90s, 22 years later? And it made a billion dollars? And everyone liked it??   It's true. And as a result, every time a movie studio makes a questionable legacy sequel this is why. They're telling themselves: “It worked with Jumanji.” It's why Disney is putting out a Tron movie this year.   Well, the thing is, the movie needs to be good! And Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle IS good. It's a very likable and winning comedy. It's just kind of a lackluster blockbuster.   But what a fun cast! The Rock is once again able to have fun playing a guy who feels very awkward looking like The Rock. Kevin Hart is very funny, Karen Gillan kicks ass, and Jack Black gives maybe his best ever performance. Nick Jonas is also here.   And this movie has us asking the big questions. What makes you you and me me? Are our personalities completely predetermined? Do NPCs have a right to privacy? If you're popular in high school, will you be popular for the rest of your life? And are dicks just the tits of the man?   There's also an unexpected 10-minute Blade Runner digression.   The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s.

Welcome to Mona Lisa Overpod, the show that asks the question "What is cyberpunk?" On each episode, hosts Ka1iban and author Lyda Morehouse dive into the genre that helped define sci-fi fiction in '80s and they break down its themes which remain relevant to our lives in the 21st century. Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Before Netflix, before the Matrix, before Y2K, the viewing public of the late 20th century knew that computers would be important in the future, somehow, and Hollywood studios scrambled to try and produce TV shows and films that capitalized on and read into that unexplored digital frontier. The result was a 1990s that was awash with stories about how the Internet would change everything, from Keanu Reeves having an 80GB brain implant to Sandra Bullock ordering a pizza...from her computer! (gasp!) Most of these efforts followed the template established by the authors of the early Cyberpunk movement, providing paranoiac thrillers in the style of William Gibson. But one series broke from that mold to attempt to integrate the technothrills of tomorrow with the soapy, prime-time thrills of today: Wild Palms. In this episode, we discuss the "weirdness" of '90s TV and the long shot that was the series' production, the viability of cyberpunk soap opera, the complicated alchemy of going off the TV formula, the intersection of culture and fame in LA, the chilling parallels between Wild Palms and our new millennium, human weakness in the face of technology's temptations, subverting the "Blade Runner aesthetic", how media is used to control us, and what cyberpunk tells us about the media's affect on culture. We also talk about Nazi gas-lighting robots, grading the Turing test on a curve, Stacked Clippy, Brisco County Jr., future = Edwardian collars, Cyberpunk Jim Belushi, postmodern law firms, not understanding your mantra, Patriots vs. Quakers vs. Solid Snake, the tacky harbinger of the Apocalypse, writing off into the sunset, and cyberpunk vampires!Hitler, take the wheel!The new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

In 2017, Denis Villeneuve dared to return to the neon-soaked streets of Los Angeles and somehow turned a seemingly impossible sequel into one of cinema's most breathtaking sci-fi masterpieces. Blade Runner 2049 earned critical acclaim and Roger Deakins an Oscar, but the weight of following Ridley Scott's iconic original was almost as crushing as the film's dystopian world.We're unpacking two stories about this ambitious sequel: The pressure-cooker production tale - from Villeneuve's meticulous approach to honoring the original while creating something entirely new, to the studio's gamble on a $150 million art film that audiences weren't quite ready for. Second, we dig into the craft behind this visual symphony - Deakins' groundbreaking cinematography, Ryan Gosling's nuanced performance as K, and how Villeneuve created a meditation on memory and identity that somehow made a three-hour runtime feel essential.Through segments like The Director, The Cast, and The Crew, we explore how a film about artificial beings became a profound examination of what makes us human - all while delivering some of the most stunning visuals ever committed to celluloid, proving that sometimes the best sequels are the ones that expand rather than repeat.Telling the story of Hollywood, one movie at a time.Connect with ATRM: To support what we do, access our archive and listen to exclusive episodes, become an ATRM patron:Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter/X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ATRightMovies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@allthe_rightmovies ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@allthe_rightmovies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our movie group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠alltherightmovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

E.T., Tron, Star Trek: Wrath of Khan, Conan the Barbarian, Blade Runner, Poltergeist, The Thing, and Mad Max: The Road Warrior changed the careers of some of Hollywood's now biggest names―altering the art of movie-making to this day.July 29th is the release of the paperback.

Des machines plus intelligentes et plus créatives que le cerveau humain qui prennent le pouvoir ? (Rediffusion) Hollywood s'est emparé de ce motif pour le décliner dans de nombreuses fictions, de l'assassin cyborg de « Terminator » aux intelligences artificielles de Matrix, en passant par les répliquants androïdes de « Blade Runner », ou encore, bien sûr, H.A.L., l'ordinateur de « 2001, l'Odyssée de l'espace » de Stanley Kubrick, sans doute la première fois qu'une intelligence artificielle « crédible » apparaît sur le grand écran. Verra-t-on bientôt des films écrits voire réalisés par une  IA ? Fera-t-on appel à des actrices et des acteurs de pixels ? Pourrait-on voir Marilyn Monroe apparaître dans le nouvel opus de la franchise James Bond, ou Cary Grant donner la réplique à Juliette Binoche dans une comédie romantique ? C'est de la science-fiction, mais plus tout à fait. On ne peut pas encore vivre sur Mars, mais l'intelligence artificielle est une planète à part entière qui nous fait miroiter dès aujourd'hui des promesses très concrètes. Un monde dont on peine à dessiner les contours tant son évolution est rapide. Ses possibilités semblent infinies, tout autant que les inquiétudes - éthiques, financières et sociales, épistémologiques -  qu'elle suscite. Pour en parler avec nous : - Elizabeth Le Hot, directrice générale de l'Adami (Société civile pour l'administration des droits des artistes et musiciens interprètes) - Rodolphe Chabrier, président et co-fondateur du studio d'effets visuels McGuff - Nicolas Guyon, journaliste et formateur en I.A., créateur du podcast « Comptoir I.A. » - Philippe Loranchet, journaliste spécialisé dans les nouvelles technologies.     Remerciements : - Louis Laborelli (INA) - Didier D'abreu et Axelle Ropert (SRF) - Sabine Le Stum (SCA, scénaristes de cinéma associés) - Bernard Benoliel (Cinémathèque française) - Stanislas de la Livonnière (Parisien) - Anne Bouvier (Adami) - Jean Cedro (Les Échos).
