Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Snappy and very fast-moving, this documentary addresses the issue of artificial intelligence in an unusually accessible way, carefully bringing the audience along to help us understand the complex world of machine learning. Rated: 4/5 Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM The Thinking Game won’t allay any fears about this new technology being used for wrongdoing, but it does at least portray the intentions behind its development. A well-explained tribute to innovation that will be accessible to even the least tech-savvy. Rated: 4/5 Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
