Part of a season of films looking at artificial intelligence in association with the Art-AI Festival, from classic science fiction imaginings of AIs gone awry to documentaries that look at the impact of artificial intelligence on the real world.

What makes us human? The line between human and machine is dissolving before we’ve even drawn it.  Smart devices, robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning: the future in which digital technology runs our lives is already here.

Award-winning director Tonje Hessen Schei’s documentary iHuman is essentially a political thriller about artificial intelligence, power and social control. With unique deep access to this booming industry, the film shows how the most powerful and far-reaching technology of our time is changing our lives, our society and our future.

Art-AI Festival is an extended season of exhibitions, public space installations and events taking place across Leicester that focus on creative applications of artificial intelligence.
