This intriguing documentary follows acclaimed dancer and choreographer Akram Khan to learn about the future of artificial intelligence and robots

As part of C4’s Rise of the Robots season, this intriguing documentary follows acclaimed dancer and choreographer Akram Khan as he travels from the UK to Japan and the USA to learn about the future of artificial intelligence and robots.

This makes for fascinating (and possibly unsettling, depending on your standpoint) TV in itself, but that’s not all.

After meeting scientists harnessing AI, as well as some of the most cutting-edge robots on the planet, Khan devises a piece of dance that he hopes will reflect his fears and scepticism over the subject.

There’s more AI machinery-based viewing at 10.25pm, too, with Will Smith’s 2004 dystopian sci-fi thriller, I, Robot.
