This week on Episode 215 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Ghost in the Shell, we talked about our favorite characters from movies about artificiality intelligence. On Episode 107 we discussed our Top 3 Movie Robots, and in essence most (if not all) of those characters represent artificial intelligence on some level. So this week we expanded our criteria a bit to include any character from movies about artificial intelligence, not just the AI themselves. This allowed for more flexibility to talk about the human characters that support the notions of artificial intelligence.
