This excellent documentary is timely viewing as only last month, it was revealed that Google was selling its vast resources to the US Department of Defense for Project Maven, a research project to develop computer vision algorithms that can analyze military drone footage. More than 3,100 Google employees have signed a damming letter urging Google CEO Sundar Pichai to rethink the company’s involvement, as “Google should not be in the business of war,”.
"Science fiction has long anticipated the rise of machine intelligence. Today, a new generation of self-learning computers has begun to reshape every aspect of our lives. Incomprehensible amounts of data are being created, interpreted, and fed back to us in a tsunami of apps, personal assistants, smart devices, and targeted advertisements. Virtually every industry on earth is experiencing this transformation, from job automation, to medical diagnostics, even military operations. Do You Trust This Computer? explores the promises and perils of our new era. Will A.I. usher in an age of unprecedented potential, or prove to be our final invention?"
