Ghost in the Machine

Description

GHOST IN THE MACHINE approaches ubiquitous questions like “What is AI?”, “Who is building it?”, and “What will humans become?” by exploring how emerging technologies have historically reshaped identity, culture, and global power. Director Valerie Veatch interviews a wide variety of historians, philosophers, sociologists, journalists, and thinkers from around the world to lend fresh perspectives on what AI is, how it works, and how people can maintain a sense of agency in a threatening and overbearing tech-driven world.

This film is part of our on-going Cinematic Sisterhood series, presented by Tracey B. Thomas.
