La Pensée-Machine

A doc­u­men­tary essay explor­ing the inva­sion of machines into our lives and the result­ing “cul­ture war.”

SYNOPSIS

La Pensée-Machine tackles the theme of the invasion of machines into our lives. With the advent of artificial intelligence, there is concern about the increasing autonomous capabilities of technology. Have we passed the tipping point, and have machines become too powerful to be controlled by humans? While legitimate, these fears conceal the real danger. Beyond technological objects, the machine has infiltrated us, our way of thinking and seeing the world.
