Along with all these capabilities comes the capacity for malevolence. HAL kills its astronaut crew. The audience is left wondering whether HAL is right, wrong, evil, or mad. An astronaut decides to shut down HAL 9000's higher cognitive functions, an experience equivalent to death for HAL. HAL's central core is depicted as a room full of brightly lit computer modules mounted in arrays from which they can be inserted or removed. As the astronaut removes the modules, HAL's intelligence degrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHAL has had a lasting effect not only on fiction, but also on the real world. It has inspired astronauts, scientists and philosophers. Scientists ask how its capabilities can be duplicated and philosophers have asked whether HAL was responsible for the murders of the astronauts. All of us ask whether we want to create intelligent machines that may someday endanger us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voice of HAL 9000 was performed by the actor Douglas Rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Falling Leaves WA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37124648566957,"sku":"","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/9935\/4797\/products\/HAL9000-big.png?v=1603219216","url":"https:\/\/falling-leaves-wa.myshopify.com\/products\/hal-9000-nameplate","provider":"Falling Leaves WA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
