Matthieu Dugal discovers the face of his digital double. It speaks, thinks, and answers questions. How will Matthew's loved ones react when they face his virtual replica? Will his parents recognize him? There are more and more humanized robots. Machine/human interactions are becoming common and our relationships with them are becoming commonplace.
AI replaces jobs, it creates works of art, it reorganizes cities, it takes the place of soldiers on the battlefield, it improves health care... Implants of bioelectronic chips are even beginning to be integrated into the human body.
Will AI ever prolong the lives of mortals? Will it bring the dead back to life? Without a soul, Matthew's double exists without being. His memory is infinite. My memories are those of Matthew.
What will be left of our humanity if one day machines become smarter than us? Between ethics and technological (r)evolution, the documentary series "AI: To be or not to be" attempts to define the line that separates the human from the machine.
Program is in French with English subtitles.
