Two of my favorite science fiction movies as a kid.  Plus, of course, The Crawling Eye.  These are still some of my all-time favorites.  I wish that my audio rack was as awesome as the rack in that picture of Forbidden Planet. 😁

I read nearly all of Ray Kurzweil's books and studied AI. It is a fascinating subject for sure. Two books I recommend reading about the subject of when AI and humans will have equal intelligence, The Singularity is Near, and the other book, How to create a Mind (How mankind will need to adapt to AI level thinking when it is more prevalent).
