Introduction
The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of human race. – Stephen Hawking
The world is now rapidly moving towards achieving this finest technology breakthrough ever. It is expected that AI would enrich humans with more power and opportunities. Another group of people (including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk) believe that this might lead to human destruction (if not handled carefully).
I think, it’s too early for us to envisage such uncertain future. Good news is, companies like Google, Microsoft, Baidu have already started creating products based on AI. It won’t be long enough to experience the influence of AI in our daily lives.
Accidentally, my exploration of AI started with movie ‘Her’. The influence was so powerful that I ended up creating an infographic on 10 Movies on Data Science and Machine Learning. May be a ~ 2 hours movie didn’t nourish my appetite well.
Few days later, I came across a TV Series ‘Intelligence’. So far, this is one of the best show I’ve ever watched. Later, I found many other shows which beautifully describes a future world driven by data, technology, numbers and artificial intelligence. Here I’ve shared the best of them.
Below are 10 Popular TV Shows on Data Science and Artificial Intelligence ( in no particular order). If you haven’t seen any of them, I’d suggest you to begin with ‘Intelligence’.
Caprica is a prequel to Battlestar Galactica. It chronicles the events that happened before the advent of AI in the form of robots. Though I'm a big fan of both BSG and Caprica from a pure science fiction perspective, I do have some reservations when analysing it. AI wouldn't be invited by one person or one company. However big the military contract is. It requires oceans upon oceans of data that has to be mined, Intelligent algorithms that model human intelligence and slowly but surely learn to make decisions on their own. I believe it is an eventuality of the information society that we have been building. I wouldn't spoil anything else for anyone. I highly recommend both BSG and Caprica in that order.
Hi, Nice information thank you for sharing.........
