런던 소재 구글 딥마인드가 개발한 인공지능 바둑 프로그램 알파고는 지난 2016년 3월 이세돌 9단과의 역사적인 대결을 통해 '기계가 인간을 뛰어넘을 수 있을까'에 대한 질문을 '인간이 기계의 도전을 막아낼 수 있을 것인가'로 바꿔 놓은 것으로 평가받고 있다. 영화는 알파고가 만들어진 배경과 과정, 그리고 이세돌과 서울에서 열린 5번의 대국 장면, 그 뒷얘기를 상세히 다루고 있다. 이야기가 진행됨에 따라 다음과 같은 질문들이 생겨난다. 3천 년이나 된 이 게임에 대해 인공지능이 밝혀낼 수 있는 것은 무엇인가? 그리고 그것이 인류에 대해 우리에게 알려줄 수 있는 것은 무엇인가?
The hunt for aliens is on! After a distinguished career in cosmology Professor Martin Rees, the astronomer royal, has taken up the search for extra-terrestrials. Looking for aliens is no longer science fiction - it is a question that's engaging some of the greatest minds in science. As our knowledge of the universe has increased, we're getting closer to answers. Many scientists now think we live in galaxy with a billion Earth-like planets, many of which may be teeming with life. But what kind of life? Has anything evolved into beings we could communicate with? This film gets inside the minds of the scientists considering one of the most exciting and profound questions we can ask - are we alone in the universe? Professor Rees thinks we may have our idea of what an alien is like all wrong. If he's right, it's not organic extra-terrestrials we should look for, it's machines.
Documentary on nature's ultimate abyss, the black hole. It is the darkest thing in the universe and its gravity is so powerful that not even light can escape. Most start out as brilliant stars which, after millions of years, eventually collapse forming a bottomless pit from which there is no escape. Narrated by actor John Hurt and directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Richard Smith, the program is a journey into interstellar space to explore these mysterious "prisons of light", via an imaginary computer-generated space ship. Guides for the journey include Professor Stephen Hawking, Britain's Astronomer Royal Sir Martin Rees, and Homer Simpson. The program also examines the history surrounding black holes, from the first conception of them in 1859 to the present day.
