An artist investigates Silicon Valley’s ideas about humanity
Grayson Perry Has Seen the Future sends the artist to California to examine how artificial intelligence and robotics might change human life. The two-part Channel 4 documentary uses Perry's curiosity about people, values and identity as a route into an industry often described through technical achievement and financial growth.
Perry meets established industry figures, young start-up founders and critics of the direction AI is taking. Those encounters create a conversation between ambition and doubt, asking whose vision of the future is being built and what assumptions about human needs sit inside it.
