Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control, directed by Errol Morris, 1997 CE.

Errol Morris’s documentary weaves together interviews with four men discussing their unusual jobs (topiary gardener, animal trainer, mole rat specialist, and robot engineer). The end result is a moving meditation on the place of humans within the animal kingdom, and the possibility that our creations will continue to evolve without us someday.  In this clip, MIT robotics engineer Rodney Brooks explains how understanding evolution shapes his approach to artificial intelligence -- not as a disembodied and spiritual phenomenon, but as a process of interaction with the material world.
