Documentary Exposes Hubris Behind Married Couple's Quest for Tech Immortality
-
The film follows the married couple Martine and Bina Rothblatt, who created an AI robotic bust named Bina48 modeled after Bina with the goal of transferring human consciousness.
-
The Rothblatts believe their love and marriage is exceptionally strong and destined to last forever, hence their drive to conquer death through technology.
-
The film reveals the Rothblatts' narcissism and hubris more than it examines their marriage or relationships.
-
While framed as a story about AI, the film lacks substantial discussion of broader philosophical and social implications of the technology.
-
What begins as a story about an odd AI bust becomes a portrait of an unexamined life for the Rothblatts behind Bina48.
