Ex Machina invites us into a world where artificial intelligence blurs the line between machine and human. It confronts us with the ethical and emotional complexities of our technological future. The work of food scientist Seyed Ali Ghoreishy (Wageningen Food & Biobased Research) often sits at the intersection of AI and emerging technologies, such as 3D food printing. This duality fuels his passion: the thrill of creating new possibilities, paired with the cautionary tale of AI's potential to outpace our control. Ex Machina encapsulates this tension, showing us a future that is as awe-inspiring as it is unsettling.
