OUT OF MEMORY by William Xie
“Do you know what it’s like to remember everything?”
Stuck at home, under the constant care of an artificial intelligence, David lives out the rest of his days with dementia. As it becomes more difficult day by day, first goes his ability to walk, then goes his ability to recall. Though, life may seem rough, David sits by a window, always facing a streak of sunshine.
Tackling a contemporary issue, dementia, this short film aims to illustrate our current understanding and possible therapeutic treatments. As the global age expectancy increases, the prevalence of dementia will also increase. Since the disease is still poorly understood by the scientific community, humanity is relatively helpless combatting the disease. In order to ease the strain on medical staff, AI in-house care would be a viable application.
