From sex with robots to digital care for grandma. A look at the joys and sorrows of the AI revolution.
Sex with a robot or digital care for a grandparent. A smartphone’s language model is like a library with thousands of floors, yet it learns about humans only secondhand. This documentary explores artificial intelligence entering the most intimate areas of life. Experts examine digital relationships, the addictive nature of algorithms, and robotic companions, from petbots assisting seniors to sex dolls shaping ideas of intimacy and human connection.
