Cosmic Motion by William Boodell and Colin Dixon
Episode notes
Dr. Charlies Forbin (Eric Braeden) and his associates build and engage an AI supercomputer known as “Colossus” whose purpose is to protect the United States in the event that anyone attacks. Plans go awry when Colossus instead melds with a Russian supercomputer named Guardian with the intent to control and perhaps enslave all of humanity. The U.S. government, Dr. Forbin and his team make best efforts to thwart Colossus’ plans, but have they built this artificial intelligence too well?
Join Bill, Colin and Writer/Director/Producer Robert Beaucage as they boot up Joseph Sargent’s prescient AI techno-thriller.
