PROD. JOE BENDER, MAXIM POZDOROVKIN
When a robot kills a human, who takes the blame? This eye-opening work of science nonfiction uses incidents in which robots have caused the deaths of humans as a window into global automation and its consequences. Though they are typically treated as freak anomalies, each case raises questions of accountability, legality and morality. Exploring the provocative views of engineers, journalists and philosophers, the film goes beyond sensational deaths to examine more subtle but pervasive ways that robots threaten humanity.
