This is an excellent documentary by one of the most important shows on television, Frontline on PBS. Ever week, the show presents top-notch, well-documented investigations of issues ripped from the headlines. MPE majors will appreciate the distinct challenge of writing, filming and editing an hourlong program in a matter of weeks to respond to current events.
"In the Age of AI" is a perfect example of our discussions about new technology. The documentary does not deny the awe and endless positive changes Artificial Intelligence might bring to mankind, but it also is clear-eyed about the de-humanizing downside risks.
