After all, what actor on a promotional trail is going to call their latest job anything but ground-breaking?

I know weve had AI films, but theyve been quite specific in their scope.

The scope ofHumansis a world set up where this technology is universally accepted.

I havent seen anything thats dealt with it in that multi-layered, every-layer-of-society way.

There she has a real point.

A singleBlack Mirrorepisode cant really be it.

The London setting gives it its own identity, he tells us.

That identity though, wont exclude American audiences.

Its something that is universal says Morgan, so it will transcend.

Morgan plays Leo inHumans, a man on the run in a lot of respects, he tells us.

Hes certainly more in the underground, dark, dirty, dingy part of it.

The car chases, on the run.

Chan plays Synth Anita.

She is different from any other Synth that any other family has.

She asks questions that perhaps she shouldnt do.

Her behaviour is not quite right.

I think probably you wont quite know what to make of her.

[…] Shes a bit of an enigma, a bit of a mystery.

What kind of rules?

We had to learn everything from scratch.

How to walk again, how to stand up and sit-down.

Acting alongside such uncanny performers presented its own challenges, Morgan says.

How would Morgan and Chan describeHumansas a whole?

To me, its always felt like a gritty drama, says Morgan.

Its quite an ambitious show, Chan agrees.

Id say theres quite a lot of dark territory that it goes into.

What does it really mean to be human?

Do we understand consciousness?

Our reliance on technology… all kinds of things.

Its interesting to ask is that reducing harm?

The fact that people can satisfy whatever their needs are on these machines?

Its a really interesting ethical question.

What do they think about other ethical questions raised by real-world artificial intelligence?

IsHumansa world either actor would choose to live in?

AI not so some kind of far-off thing, says Chan.

Its part of our lives now, from your phone to everything you do.

It makes our lives easier in a lot of ways.

I think its quite terrifying, adds Morgan.

That obviously our way is the way this thing should act.

[…] All of us right now have a form of technology on our body.

We are essentially becoming a little bit closer to Cyborgs in that respect.

Has working onHumanschanged the way Morgan or Chan think about their own relationship with technology and social media?

I have quite an ambivalent relationship with [it] says Chan.

Were changing the way our brains work now.

Is that part of Morgans attraction to working in the theatre?

Its an experience that strips it all down to an authentic human exchange rather than something mediated by technology?

I think its important to keep reminding yourself of that.

That can transcend into real life as well.
