DARK WEB: Norman the "Psychopathic" AI

So Supernatural

About this episode

In 2018, researchers at MIT unveiled an artificial intelligence so disturbing it earned a name straight out of a psychological thriller: Norman (as in Bates). Unlike typical AIs, Norman was exposed to some of the darkest corners of the internet, causing it to see horror in the mundane. Though designed as an experiment, Norman became a cautionary tale about how artificial minds can mirror humanity’s most disturbing tendencies.
