At a time when the role of AI is being debated, play a leading role in exploring its dangers. A striking experiment in the use of information in the public sphere.
Artificial intelligence entered the public debate in earnest in 2022, posing questions on its uses (multiple) and dangers (ethical) for humans. Here, this profound societal issue, which is set to bring serious changes to all our lives in one way or another, is placed front and center. For this interactive film, viewers are given a phone to enable them to more easily follow – or surveil – their movements and control their free will. Invited into this dystopian world in which state surveillance follows you everywhere, it's up to you to decide whether to submit to this automated Big Brother, or to run from it.
