'Love Machina': A Documentary on Love and AI

Martine and Bina Rothblatt's quest for digital immortality through AI humanoid robot Bina48 raises questions about the future of consciousness and love.

• Martine and Bina Rothblatt, a couple married for 40 years, are the central figures in the documentary 'Love Machina', which explores their attempt to transfer Bina's consciousness into a robot named Bina48.
• Bina48 is an AI humanoid robot based on an extensive 'mindfile' of human Bina’s memories and thought patterns.
• The Rothblatts' project is driven by their belief in the possibility of digital immortality and their desire to prolong their love indefinitely.
• The documentary has been described as a 'provocative but unfocused' exploration of artificial intelligence, robotics, love, and immortality.
• Despite the Rothblatts' certainty, the documentary presents evidence suggesting that the replication of human consciousness in AI is not currently feasible.
