Show Notes
In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, James and Matt conclude their Artificial Intelligence series by exploring two modern sci-fi films about the future of military AI.
First we look at The Machine (2013), a cyberpunk-inspired thriller about the creation of a powerful humanoid artificial intelligence designed for warfare.
Then we explore Kill Command (2016), a sci-fi action film imagining a near future where autonomous robot soldiers begin turning against their human operators.
Together these films examine one of the most unsettling possibilities in artificial intelligence:
What happens when machines built for war become intelligent enough to make their own decisions?
Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time, examining the films and ideas that shaped the genre.
Follow the show for deep dives into sci-fi classics, cult films and modern genre favourites.
