Signals in the Machine

Long before artificial intelligence became a product, it was a question: can thought be described, measured, and built?Signals in the Machine is a cinematic documentary series about the people, ideas, breakthroughs, disappointments, and recurring ambitions behind AI. Season one travels from mechanical calculators and symbolic logic through wartime computing, the Dartmouth workshop, AI winters, expert systems, machine learning, deep learning, transformers, and generative AI. The series avoids both hype and panic to ask a more durable question: what does the history of intelligent machines reveal about the humans building them?
