2001: A Space Odyssey is a much-loved favorite when it comes to sci-fi fantasy movies. In fact, it’s one of my own personal favorites.

And now Google has given one its key scenes a powerful makeover. In the original, HAL (the A.I.) is commanded to open the pod doors by Dave, who (as you may know) refuses. Naturally, the Google Assistant will.

While this advertisement is no doubt intended to be light-hearted, it still really made me think.  The key question, of course, is this: WHO WILL WE TRUST?
