Science on Screen®: Artificial Intelligence in Film: Are We Destined for Dystopia?

Science on Screen® returns with a screening of Blade Runner: The Final Cut and a conversation with University of Pennsylvania Ph.D. Candidate and AI educator, Matthew Malencia.

Are we destined for dystopia? Rick Deckard's job as a "blade runner" in the year 2019 is to track down bioengineered humanoids. We don't yet live in this dystopian future of synthetic humans and space colonies, but could we? What is artificial intelligence (AI) already capable of? And what might AI look like during our lifetime?
