Featured as Hot Docs\u2019 opening night selection, this Canadian documentary from director Ann Shin presents once-fantastical ideas now edging toward reality in a form palatable to broadcast viewers looking more for casual entertainment value than weighty investigation. But the film is weakened by its gratuitously first-person perspective, chosen for no obvious reason beyond the director evidently wanting to \u201cstar\u201d in her own movie.<\/p>\n<p>After an opening quote from Seneca, Shin takes center stage and stays there, as introduced at her 52nd birthday party, then perusing old family photos with two daughters. Her own mother has died, and her 78-year-old father is in a retirement home with dementia. But what if her own existence could somehow be elongated so that one day her grandchildren\u2019s grandchildren could know her?<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the film is a sampler of current innovation, insights and sometimes sheer yearning related to such desires. Shin visits participants in the Transhumanist movement, some of whom are Christians who believe God surely meant for humans to eventually \u201cmake death optional,\u201d turning life as immortal as the soul is said to be. (Much later we meet a cleric who takes great offense at this, noting that traditional theology already has that \u201cafterlife\u201d thing all worked out.)<\/p>\n<p>At a consumer electronics show in Vegas, AI avatars are glimpsed, into which may be digitally uploaded \u201cmind files\u201d comprised of one\u2019s archived memories and mannerisms. Interviewee Deepak Chopra already has just such a \u201cclone of himself,\u201d which has absorbed his nearly 100 books and stiltedly interacts with others from that knowledge database. Soon Shin is compiling her own images and intel toward the same ends. When she shares a preliminary result with her kids, however, they treat the awkward screen demi-Mom as a sort of novelty toy \u2014 not unlike a trained talking parrot \u2014 which seems just about right.<\/p>\n<p>We also hear from technology developers, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> theorist Douglas Rushkoff, and BINA48, a robotic android with a human-like face that can hold simple conversations. But what exactly is \u201cimmortal\u201d about a programmed artificial \u201cmind\u201d divorced from the original consciousness it has lifted select reminiscences, opinions and personality quirks from? Shin is told the goal is that future generations \u201cbenefit from your wisdom.\u201d But can\u2019t that ego balm be equally sated by a video, journal or other less-elaborate (or creepy) record left behind? The documentary doesn\u2019t even touch on some basic ethical issues, like the fact that these technologies are very likely to benefit (and economically milk) only the most privileged, wealthy First Worlders \u2014 becoming a final frontier in luxury items.<\/p>\n<p>Among the few skeptics included, a neuroscientist scoffs that all this is \u201cpie in the sky,\u201d the human brain being \u201cthe most complex structure in the universe.\u201d He says every individual\u2019s memories are so nuanced and ever-changing that they cannot possibly be simply \u201creplicated\u201d in artificial form.<\/p>\n<p>At the end, Shin muses, \u201dLife is so fleeting. I wonder if AI will ever be able to capture that,\u201d c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing this tech <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ogue on a suitably trite note. Of course, she\u2019s already achieved a form of immortality by placing her incessantly-onscreen self at the center of a movie that had no particular need for a forced autobiographical hook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA.rtificial I.mmortality\u201d is briskly paced and slickly assembled, with animation deployed to illustrate some of its more challenging concepts, plus clips from \u201cBlade Runner\u201d and \u201c2001\u201d to remind us of AI\u2019s familiar, menacing form in popular fiction. But ultimately it seems too glib to override the thought that people so concerned with chasing immortality ought better to concern themselves with actually getting the most out of their mortal lives.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
