ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

For over 50 years, artificial intelligence has dominated the world of science fiction. At one time, the idea of these thinking machines doing our housework and fighting our wars, seemed nothing more than fiction, but we are now seeing that vision becoming a reality. Could we be taking technology too far? ROBOTS AMONG US features state of the art computer graphics and interviews with the scientists on the cutting edge of the new robotic technology, which is as visually gripping as it is intellectually compelling – and frightening! Premiered on Discovery Channel, USA.

Produced by Lionsgate (2000)
