More Human than Human

Tommy Pallotta, Femke Wolting Nederland 2018 79 min.

We are living in an age of increasingly intelligent machines that can take on more and more human tasks. The director of this film explores the boundaries by replacing himself by a robot that films and edits. Do we still need human directors?

We have high expectations for Artificial Intelligence but they are increasingly being met. This irrevocably raises questions about the consequences for mankind. Will “being human” be completely irrelevant one day because Artificial Intelligence (AI) is infinitely smarter and more self-aware? The director tries to find a robot that can replace him, to find out how much of his creativity and unique human values are being threatened.
