iHUMAN

Synopsis

 

Directed by visionary filmmaker Tonje Hessen Schei (DRONE, 2014), iHuman is a political thriller about artificial intelligence, power and social control. With unique deep access to the booming AI industry this film shows how the most powerful and far-reaching technology of our time is changing our lives, our society and our future.

iHuman follows pioneers at the frontline of the invisible AI revolution to see how this technology is developed and implemented. Through some of the brightest minds in the AI industry, iHuman draws the roadmap to where we are going. Who punches in what codes for our future? How does AI impact who we are?

iHUMAN shows a growing conflict in the tech world. AI now permeates every aspect of our lives, but only a handful of people really have control over what it’s doing to us. The true limits of AI remain unknown – as do the extent of the consequences.

AI tools can be used to problem-solve the most immediate and biggest questions of our time, and provide for the benefit of all. They can also be used to trap and enslave us, consolidating power in the hands of an elite few.

The expansion in use and power of this technology is putting our humanity on the line. The question at stake is no longer “”what we can do with this technology?”” but rather “”what we should do with it?””
