Why AI Inventors Are Terrified of Their Own Creation
Tech journalist Ann-Marie surveys how fast artificial intelligence is moving into daily life, and what that speed is costing. The film visits an AI-driven pregnancy care program, walks through Oxford's large-scale data processing systems, and follows autonomous drones handling logistics work once done by people. Ameca, a humanoid robot built to mimic human expression, appears as a case study in how convincing synthetic humans have become, alongside footage on the deepfake technology now blurring the line between real and fabricated video. Engineers, researchers, and industry figures weigh in on the tradeoffs: job displacement in sectors automated faster than workers can retrain, algorithmic bias baked into systems making decisions about people's lives, and the erosion of human connection as AI companions and assistants take over roles once filled by people. The film closes on a stranger frontier, the push toward digital immortality, treating it as a genuine ethical question rather than a novelty. The tone throughout is unease rather than hype, from people building the technology as much as those studying its effects.
