Show Notes

Beginning nearly a century ago, Hollywood movies have portrayed artificial intelligence on the big screen… er… at least what they thought of artificial intelligence.  But just how much has cinema gotten right?  We hear from AI expert Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, as he walks through his thoughts on where AI is really going, and what we need to do to prepare for it.  Meanwhile, Ernest and Jolie explore a timeline of hilarious and fascinating AI-related blockbuster titles.  From AI-gone-evil to AI learning to love, similar themes crop up again and again, demonstrating mankind’s obsession with the “what if.”
