The untold origins of artificial intelligence lie not in machines but in power.

This visceral investigative essay excavates the chilling background that underpins the development of AI, and explores how emerging technologies reshape identity, culture and global power.

An ambitious film, which takes aim at the architects of Silicon Valley and the power structures that enable its unfettered growth, Ghost in the Machine reveals the fantasies behind the hype and explores the philosophical, cultural and political forces driving the AI boom.

Reviews

"Delivers a thought-provoking takedown of Techno-Fascism"

The Observer

"A cautionary tale about the potential misuses of AI and its devastating impact on the environment, culture, and society."
