Afternoon, Aisha.
Would you like company?
No, I'm good. Thanks.
I need to inform you that I have filed
a malfunction report
concerning the circumstances
between Levi and myself.
If you have any supporting details,
I'm required to upload those as well.
You really don't have to do that.
It wasn't your fault, Emma.
LEVI: We've got to go talk to her.
I can't take this anymore.
Uh why don't you sit?
LEVI: I'm going right now.
- [SCOFFS] What?
You're not gonna eat?
Oh.
I do not eat.
If I did, it would just be an affectation.
Like with you.
To make us appear more like them.
How'd you know about that?
Your microphone array is showing.
[CLEARS THROAT]
LEVI: We gotta go talk to her.
I gotta go.
[♪♪♪]
Hey, can, uh--can we talk?
Just a couple minutes.
Are you gonna keep quiet
about what you saw?
Yeah, of course.
Okay, then there is nothing
to talk about.
Back to business.
[♪♪♪]
RENATO: And it's supposed to be inviting,
not snarky.
NOAH: Respect the specs.
Deliver your targets. Understood?
[SOFT MUSIC]
Guys, meet Aisha.
[♪♪♪]
"Aisha."
"She who lives."
Here.
Yeah, uh, Dieter supervised the body,
I team-built the hardware,
but the software and the assembly
are all mine.
I--I thought I told you that if you--
Yeah, I know what you told me,
but I knew the second you saw her--
Wait. Did you just call it a her?
She is the logical next step.
The specs are all in there.
Synthetic hair, eyes, blood.
Aisha could be the first
indistinguishable AI,
a piece of tech that appears human
to the user
and to itself.
AI like this could be invaluable
in war zones,
companionship for the--
the bereaved, the elderly--
What's the point?
Well, the--the more human it feels,
the more seamlessly the user--
NOAH: No, the point in making a product
that doesn't know what it is?
What's the upside, for the company?
Well, the upside is that we can, right?
And--and as you always said,
if we can, shouldn't we try?
Look, we--we live in a world
where we don't agree on anything.
Politics, climate, gender.
But we know what human is.
We can at least agree on that,
and if we lose that,
if--if humanity becomes fungible,
we don't recover.
If the regulators discover
we built undetectable AI,
they'll take it and revoke our charter.
NOAH: It's illegal.
They'll shut all this down,
and I'm not ready to lose
everything I've built
over what is essentially just a--
A person.
I--I have built a person,
and you're jealous.
You have done something
without ever bothering to consider
whether or not it is a thing
that should be done.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[♪♪♪]
We only got about a half hour left.
I know you're hoping to get into RISD.
Yes, it's a design program,
but they will look at your
second-semester grades.
I'm not getting in.
And even if I did, I can't go.
I don't understand.
Hmm.
Nobody does.
