AI In Pop Culture E37

From talking computers to rogue robots, artificial intelligence has long been a fixture in film, TV, and storytelling. But what do these pop culture portrayals really say about us?

In this episode of Mike’s Nerd Bytes, Mike Maione explores how AI has evolved on screen, from HAL 9000 and The Terminator to Her, Ex Machina, and Westworld—and what these characters reveal about our fears, hopes, and the future of intelligent machines.

We’ll break down how AI in pop culture has shifted over the decades and how real-world tech is beginning to blur the line between science fiction and reality.

Whether you're a sci-fi fan, a tech nerd, or just curious about how culture and innovation collide, this episode offers a thoughtful, fast-paced look at the machines we've imagined, and the people we become when we imagine them.
