This lesson begins with considering artificial intelligence as a way into discussing what makes us human. From here, we move to consider a similar discussion relating to the questions raised by the theoretical possibility of cloning humans. The clip in the presentation is from the Wachowski Brothers Animatrix – The First Renaissance.
