Philofilm screening of Colossus: The Forbin Project with UT philosophy professor Nolen Gertz

The next Philofilm at Concordia Film Theatre will be Dr. Nolen Gertz presenting Joseph Sargent's prescient 1970 AI thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project:

Thinking this will prevent war, the US government gives an impenetrable supercomputer total control over launching nuclear missiles. But what the computer does with the power is unimaginable to its creators. Colossus: The Forbin Project is a gripping and credible thriller, made in 1970, about artificial intelligence.
