Houston Psychoanalytical Society Presents ‘Ex Machina’
Join the Houston Psychoanalytic Society for a fascinating and entertaining evening featuring a film screening and follow-on discussion of Alex Garland’s 2014 science fiction psychological thriller, Ex Machina (The Mousetrap).
Mankind invented the atomic bomb, but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap. — attributed to Albert Einstein
Pursuing the premise that no creature builds the trap that catches it, Ex Machina offers a platform for us to consider and discuss the age of AI — are we constructing a mind, a mirror, or a mousetrap? — and will we know before it is far too late to matter?
Watch the film in-person or on your own, and then join a spirited (hybrid) conversation with Timothy Morton, PhD, Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English, Rice University, and Andrew J. Gerber, MD, PhD, President and Medical Director, Silver Hill. It will leave you thoughtful, challenged, and curiously engaged!
