While there were many films screened during this year's Gold Coast Film Festival, arguably one of the most important would be the ending night film.

With an almost full theatre to impress, it fell to this film to end the fantastic festival on a positive note - a challenge it succeeded in achieving.

Even though artificial intelligence can conceptually trace its roots back to the 1950s, the reality is AI and machine learning went mainstream not too long ago. As recently as November 2022, anyone with a computer and Internet access can dip their toes in the AI waters for not much more than the time needed to understand how to make it work.
