Show “Titans” on TNT: who fights artificial intelligence for 10 million rubles?
Let’s talk about the show’s contestants.
Watching athletes perform, win competitions and set the most incredible records is a pleasure. Can you imagine a show where 99 of the best athletes in the country will meet in a battle for 10 million rubles? The new project of TNT TV channel “Titans” will subject athletes to incredible tests.
The essence and rules
All the usual competitions – this confrontation of people, but the era of technology requires new solutions. Now athletes will clash not only with their colleagues, but also with neural networks. The participants’ physical abilities will be tested with the help of tests generated by artificial intelligence. According to their results will be determined one athlete, who will get the title of the main “titan” of Russia and 10 million rubles.
The AI has supplanted even the presenter. The voice of the neural network explains the rules of the competition, announces the results and even throws participants out of the project. The athletes themselves remain real, it is their strength, power, agility and stability that will be tested.
