In two half-hour parts, The Living Machine explores the progress made in electronics technology and looks forward to an exciting world-to-be. Produced in 1962, the first part demonstrates the capacities of a computer's "artificial intelligence," far exceeding that of any one human brain. The second part shows experiments in electronically duplicating some sensory perceptions.

The empty brackets in the submission's title should probably contain '1962'.
The clip seems to be part of documentary The Living Machine ( https://collection.onf.ca/film/the-living-machine ).
(Indeed, another copy of the clip is titled "The Living Machine", at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJeVVmwFwS8 )
Interesting: Roman Kroitor, the director of the documentary, is a founder of IMAX... And the origin of some features of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey; and the author of a groundbreaking recording of a live performance from the Rolling Stones...
