How does a machine learn to speak?
The Great Network of Words is a gentle introduction to Large Language Models. Through a short poetic film, it invites you to step inside these systems and start discovering how they work, how they learn, and what makes them both powerful and limited.
Step into the world of Max, Sam, and Vic as they venture off the beaten path into a digital landscape. In a mysterious clearing, they encounter mechanical trees, one of which begins to speak. Part of a complex system, its glowing roots draw knowledge from a vast network of words, texts and ideas.
Perfect for classrooms, science engagement, families and curious minds aged 9 to 12, and a must-watch for any adult who finds AI a little bit confusing!
