WarGames (1983) Starring Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy and John Wood.

I wondered if AI could ever gain the decision-making capability to become powerful enough to decide the fate of humanity through nuclear warfare as depicted in the movie WarGames. So, I talked to Noah Healy, an expert in game theory, nuclear engineering, and economics to see how plausible it really is. Join me as Noah takes us on a deep dive into the science of fiction. At the end of the episode, Noah will rank the plausibility of AI-instigated global thermonuclear war depicted in WarGames on a 1-5 scale from pure fiction- science fact.
