"Intelligent" technology will transform our day-to-day lives within a few decades. Scientists are already planning smart aircraft wings that adapt their shape to different airspeeds and smart buildings that can sense earthquakes. In contrast to the sci-fi writers' nightmare vision of robots, a benign prospect of artificial intelligence is emerging. This film goes in search of the "new alchemists" in Britain, Japan and the USA. Producer Chris Rawlence
