Synopsis:
A film about the mind, which takes as its starting point the parable of the 'Chinese Room' that American philosopher John Searle devised as a critique of artificial intelligence. Made at the height of the Cold War, when Reagan and Gorbachev struggled to limit the nuclear weapons that threatened humanity, the program uses contemporary archive footage and music to tease out the problems of artificial cognition. We meet AI enthusiasts like Marvin Minsky as well as critics like Hubert Dreyfus. In the end, the film finds an optimistic message for all of us in the ultimate failure of a reductionist theory of the mind.
