## Transcript

I really like her which I think is about maybe pop pop popular answer because it somehow symbolizes the loneliness. We feeling increasingly connected World Star Trek the humans making the decision still flying the plane and the AI is there to help them. I'm from planets. So I grew up in the Sahara. And so definitely the story of Star Wars the sort of concept of like the force can be for good or for evil and it's all about what you do deeply influenced me 2001 A Space Odyssey full movie when I was 9 it was talking about everything. I was fascinated by when I was a kid, you know, it was space travel.

How intelligent human appeared with you know what 2001 has some theory about and then he's like all three things. I was really totally fascinated by I thought I was amazing Rudy and I I read the book and you do afterwards. I think I must have BC 2001 Space Odyssey intimidating factor in that but order the concepts of how these tools will challenge. I believe in your position. I'm coming from chess I come from and I like how this technology can actually text us. I think when you leaned into that that's when the most exciting new things happen and its films in speculation, like sci-fi that we have to kind of take it away from now and realize this is hell it's real and when you embrace it and new things going to happen.

I did a job called Caprica. It's a prequel to The Battlestar Galactica in this Computer is replicated humans created avatars in another world and it's interesting. We created humans skin suits, you know that we're almost identical robot. They were identical in the thing about that. Is it always ask? What is it to be human? What is it to cry at a at a sunset or a painting? What is it to be flawed? And so perfect. That to me is you know, I'm very proud of the work on that show in the people involved. Reference is always Black Mirror the series that have always portrayed AI much much before all of this, you know, like a Venda sense of what's happening.

So I think that we should go back to the series from time to time.
