DOKFILM - WIDER THAN THE SKY

Description

By Valerio Jalongo What makes us human – in a time when machines are becoming increasingly intelligent? WIDER THAN THE SKY seeks answers where art and science meet. The equally inspiring and clever documentary opens new perspectives on artificial intelligence – and reminds us that empathy, imagination, and collaboration remain our greatest strengths. Artificial intelligence is changing the world at a rapid pace. But the more powerful machines become, the more pressing another question becomes: What actually distinguishes humans? The Italian-Swiss documentary filmmaker Valerio Jalongo approaches this question in an unusual way. He brings together neuroscientists, AI researchers, artists, and choreographer Sasha Waltz. Between dance rehearsals, robotics labs, and philosophical conversations, a fascinating dialogue about creativity, consciousness, and the future of our society emerges. WIDER THAN THE SKY is not a dystopian film about the dangers of artificial intelligence. Instead, it invites us to think about possibilities: What if AI were not competition but a tool for more collaboration? And which abilities might never be programmed – empathy, imagination, or the power of collective creativity? A visually impressive and stimulating film that makes complex questions understandable without providing simple answers – and that focuses less on the machines and more on what makes humans unique.
