I just saw Ghost in the Machine at UCLA and it was phenomenal! It includes some really good historical context of the field's roots, and it does a good job of putting everything in perspective. Afterwards, there was an expert panel, including two people featured in the film. I particularly enjoyed Tiera Tanksley's perspective, as she focuses on education. I was not planning to see the AI Doc, based on what I'd heard about it, but I'd be open to it. I wish I'd seen this post last week, or I would have checked if you wanted to come, too.

Is anyone planning to see this soon? I would love to go with someone to see it that's involved in CS education.
Also, is anyone planning to see Ghost in the Machine? Would you come to a virtual screening if CSTA Greater Los Angeles hosted one with a discussion following?
