Science on Screen: After Yang
When his young daughter’s beloved companion — an android named Yang — malfunctions, Jake (Colin Farrell) searches for a way to repair him. In the process, Jake discovers the life that has been passing in front of him, reconnecting with his wife (Jodie Turner-Smith) and daughter across a distance he didn’t know was there. As a program in our Science on Screen® series, Dr. Amanda Holland-Minkley, Professor of Computing and Information Studies at Washington & Jefferson College, will give a brief presentation about the rapid modern advances in AI technology and how we might approach the task of coexisting and collaborating with AI in the workplace and in our lives. Science on Screen® is an initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
