Hi, Ai (also written Hi, AI ) is a German documentary film from 2019 by the director Isa Willinger. The title goes back to the name of a robot woman in the film "Ai", at the same time it is a play on words with the English abbreviation for artificial intelligence : AI. “Love stories from the future” is often used as an addition to the title.
action
The film deals with the coexistence of humans with humanoid robots and asks questions about the future of humans in a world in which robots and artificial intelligence are present everywhere. The two main lines of the film are the stories of an old woman in Tokyo who is given the robot Pepper by her son, and an American who goes on a road trip through California with a robot partner on the other.
reception
“The film observes the encounter between man and machine with great attention, without schoolmasterly or moral know-it-all, but with subtle irony. … In splendidly arranged tableaus, without voice-overs or expert o-tones, and with subtle irony, the documentarist treats the complex science and technology in a primarily cinematic way. "
“Isa Willinger ... observes the strange way the machines think and speak, their awkward movements. It conveniently does this without the prejudices of the AI debate, but allows the viewer time to observe. "
“A sensitive and intelligent film that reveals a strong visual aesthetic vision that corresponds to its subject. The film tells the story in clear, tableau-like composed images, equally distant and dreamlike. "
