The nostalgia bug bit me when I heard "The Matrix Resurrections" was set to premiere at the end of December. To prepare for its release, I rewatched the prior movies.
I was surprised to find that these movies captivated me in a wholly different way than when I first saw them. As someone who moved into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in the last few years, I found the original movies’ themes of reality and choice inspired a lot of thought around AI, specifically in the context of conversational data.
"If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain." Morpheus, Matrix (1999)
The basic definition of AI is computers or machines performing functions typically associated with intelligent beings.
These computers use highly advanced mathematics and robotics to imitate human cognitive and advanced motor functions.
