Competition Documentaries, Finland 2019, 80 Min., engl., finn. OV, engl. st
Children in conversation with machines seeking answers to the questions: “What is a human being?” “What are robots?” We can find them in commodities production, but they are also proving useful in caring for the elderly and for satisfying sexual needs. International experts on artificial intelligence provide further information about robots’ potential. Director Iiris Härmä provides entertaining opportunities for scientists, artists, and even a self-made cyborg to speak, whereby she never ignores the ethical implications … At the AI Science Film Festival that was part of the “Year of Science 2019 – Artificial Intelligence” at the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, “Who Made You?” received the AI Science Film Award for the best feature-length film. As the jury wrote: “The documentary captivates with its scientific and, at the same time original approach.”
