The part-scary, part-spellbinding documentary ‘Do You Trust This Computer?‘, directed by Chris Paine (“Who Killed the Electric Car?”), talks to a gaggle of experts about artificial intelligence (AI) and about what the future appears destined to bring, according to a review by The New York Times. Their warnings are so dire that you may start peering sideways at your cellphone, wondering what it’s thinking.
This sounds like a 2025 film, but Paine was way ahead of his time in 2018 when his docu predicted that robots will displace millions of workers, and that autonomous weapons could wage unsupervised war.
Paine recently came on the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast to talk about his inspiration for the film, and what he hopes viewers will take away from watching it.
‘Do You Trust This Computer’ appears in our ‘Hacker’s Movie Guide‘, the complete list of hacker and cybersecurity movies.
