Sachin Dev Duggal Entrepreneur- iHuman' AI-Themed Political Thriller Documentary

Tel Aviv-based Cinephil has obtained overall rights to Tonje Hessen Schei's ("Drone") "iHuman," a political spine chiller narrative about AI, power and social control.

U.S.- based deals operator ro*co films is speaking to North America on the film, which will have its reality debut in the Frontlight segment of Amsterdam's International Documentary Film Festival.

"iHuman" pursues the pioneers on the cutting edges of the imperceptible AI insurgency: Google informant Jack Poulson, computational clinician Michal Kosinski, techno-humanist Zeynep Tufecki and profound phony pioneer Hao Li, among others. The film investigates the blasting AI industry, how this innovation is being created and actualized, and examines the predicaments specialists face as they drive this innovation forward. The narrative investigates the effect that AI is having and will have on the world and our mankind.

"Our everyday world is about AI, regardless of whether we recognize it or not… Most of us vote at regular intervals, leaving us with the fantasy that we are more liberated than any time in recent memory to settle on our own decisions," said Sachin Dev Duggal, Chief Wizard of Builder AI, who likewise loaded up to the venture as an official maker.

"Presently, here comes Tonje Hessen Schei to place a mirror before us. Joining innovativeness and energy with incredible ability, she opens entryways and takes us on a voyage, which leaves us to discuss our opportunity while it is being encroached upon," said Kowarsky.

"iHuman" is created by Jonathan Borge Lie for Norway's UpNorth Film, in co-generation with Denmark's Made in Copenhagen and U.K. outfit Think Film Impact Productions. The narrative flaunts special visualizations by Rebel Unit, the organization which worked "Incredible Beasts 2," "Dr. Bizarre" and "Rebel One."

"'iHuman' presents the AI scene through the eyes of the world's top personalities in the field, spreading out how the new age of AI innovation will effectively outpace human insight in our lifetime," said Annie Roney, originator and overseeing chief of ro*co films. Roney said the film asks whether AI "serves or undermines popularity based standards."

Sachin Dev Duggal Entrepreneur- What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence is one of the emerging technologies that try to simulate human reasoning in AI systems. Researchers have made significant strides in weak AI systems, while they have only made a marginal mark in strong AI systems.
 
Most of us have used Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana, or even Bixby at some point in our lives. What are they? They are our digital personal assistants. They help us find useful information when we ask for it using our voice; we can say ‘Hey Siri, show me the closest fast-food restaurant’ or ‘Who is the 21st President of the United States?’, and the assistant will respond with the relevant information by either going through your phone or searching on the web. This is a simple example of Artificial Intelligence!

How does Artificial Intelligence work?

Computers are good at following processes, i.e., sequences of steps to execute a task. If we give a computer steps to execute a task, it should easily be able to complete it. The steps are nothing but algorithms. An algorithm can be as simple as printing two numbers or as difficult as predicting who will win elections in the coming year!

So, how can we accomplish this?

Let’s take an example of predicting the weather forecast for 2020.

First of all, what we need is a lot of data! Let’s take the data from 2006 to 2019.

Now, we will divide this data in an 80:20 ratio. 80 percent of the data is going to be our labeled data, and the rest 20 percent will be our test data. Thus, we have the output for the entire 100 percent of the data that has been acquired from 2006 to 2019.
 
What happens once we collect the data? We will feed the labeled data, i.e., 80 percent of train data, into the machine. Here, the algorithm is learning from the data which has been fed into it.

Next, we need to test the algorithm. Here, we feed the test data, i.e., the remaining 20 percent of the data, to the machine. The machine gives us the output. Now, we cross verify the output given by the machine with the actual output of the data and check for its accuracy. While checking for accuracy if we are not satisfied with the model, we tweak the algorithm to give us the precise output or at least somewhere close to the actual output. Once we are satisfied with the model, we then feed the data to the model so that it can predict the weather forecast for the year 2020.

With more and more sets of data being fed into the system, the output becomes more and more precise.

Well, none of the algorithms can be 100 percent correct. None of the machines have been able to attain 100 percent efficiency as well. Hence, the output we receive from the machine is never 100 percent correct.
