Horizon: The Hunt for AI

Topical science series. Marcus Du Sautoy wants to find out how close we are to creating machines that can think like us - robots or computers that possess artificial intelligence. His investigation takes him to a strange and bizarre world where AI is taking place, such as two robots who are developing their own private language, or the super computer who beat humans at one of the toughest quiz shows on the planet, Jeopardy. Marcus also investigates if machines can have creativity and intuition, and asks if AIs could develop their own very different way of thinking.
