BUEI Films presents Do You Trust This Computer? on Sunday, August 25th.

Science fiction has long anticipated the rise of machine intelligence. Today, a new generation of self-learning computers has begun to reshape every aspect of our lives. Incomprehensible amounts of data are being created, interpreted, and fed back to us in a tsunami of apps, personal assistants, smart devices, and targeted advertisements. Virtually every industry on earth is experiencing this transformation, from job automation, to medical diagnostics, even military operations. 2018 / NR / Documentary / 1hr 18min

DO YOU TRUST THIS COMPUTER? explores the promises and perils of our new era. Will A.I. usher in an age of unprecedented potential, or prove to be our final invention?

The film begins at 5:15pm in the Tradewinds Auditorium. You can even make a night of it as the Harbourfront restaurant opens for dinner at 6pm, and ticket holders are entitled to 10% off dinner (food only) after the film. Reservations required.
