The Machine That Feels

Scientists see AI technology as an opportunity to address inequities and make a better, more connected world. But it also has the capacity to do the opposite: to stoke division and inequality and disconnect us from fellow humans. THE MACHINE THAT FEELS shows viewers what they need to know about a field that is advancing at a dizzying pace, often away from the public eye. What does it mean when AI makes art? How is it possible that AI creates sophisticated neural networks that mimic the human brain? Can AI interpret and understand human emotions and what does it mean to be human in a world filled with machines that feel? This special seeks to answer and investigate these questions, and more.

The Ocean's Greatest Feast

At the start of every winter, the coast of South Africa sees billions of little fish converge in the biggest biomass migration on the planet. It’s the annual sardine run – a literal force of nature that feeds an entire coastline. The sardines ride a cold current through a gauntlet of predators, against all odds of survival - but the purpose of the journey remains a mystery. They race past a hungry seal colony, endure an aerial assault by gannets and face hungry sharks. When dolphins show up, the feast kicks into even higher gear, before orcas arrive with a final surprise. Watch this yearly wild run in OCEAN'S GREATEST FEAST. Narrated by Graham McTavish.

MYSTERIES OF THE MEKONG is a not-to-be-missed wildlife series that will truly be a feast for the eyes.
