Robots used to be great hulking things: all made up of metal, diodes and beeping beeps. Let’s just say that you’d probably notice one if they were walking down the street (and before you ask, those little trundling delivery robots that roam the streets of Tallinn don’t count). But our view of robots (or androids or replicants or whatever you want to call them) has changed enormously over the past few years. No longer the obvious hunks of metals that stick out in a crowd, our robots now have begun to resemble us with ‘more human than human’ being the mantra as leaps in technology and AI make the division between human and artificial all the more hard to define. The films here explore the new worlds being created and the new people we’ll be sharing said worlds with. Will we learn to love the machines? And will they learn to love us?
