One reads and hears so much about AI these days that it was notably refreshing how graspable and terrestrial this all was. None of it was unimaginable, which is precisely why it was all so frightening.

I had expected the documentary to be chilling, but it was worse than that: it made this AI future feel dully inevitable.

Unknown: Killer Robots seems cold and distant, and the potential of these discoveries, although quite interesting, has more real-world consequences than finding a mummy in a tomb.

Rated: 2.5/5

It's actually an old, old question... Robopocolypse...Real threat or imagined? Robot Innovation...Good or bad? Is Man vs machine a real scenario in our future? My view is...Not really...Because robots are even more vulnerable to environmental breakdown than we are...So robots won't take over at any point in the future...The NEAR future anyway...I mean...who knows? And this movie does investigate this possible with frightening vivedness and clarity...and frightening credibility. It's definitely something to think about ...And this documentary presents the problem as frighteningly and as realistically as anything I've seen actually. Overall: Thumbs up. 👍

Very thought provoking. I can think of many many ways A.I. technology can eliminate ones need for war. Like looking through a cone. The tiny visible point is exactly the opposite of the big picture. Flip the cone.
