This is the english short version of my german blog article about the documentary film “Plug & Pray – Of Computers and other Human Beings“. The movie, which is directed by german film maker Jens Schanze, deals with humanoid robots, artificial intelligence, neural engineering and features some of the inventors and actors in this specific field, among them Computer Scientist and ELIZA inventor Joseph Weizenbaum.

The documentary has been shown at various Film Festivals (among them also Berlinale) and has already been released on DVD. German Free TV premiere will take place 18 January 2012 at 23:45 CET on Bayerischer Rundfunk.
