What iHuman Is About

Artificial intelligence is among the most powerful technologies we have; it is said it could solve humanity’s largest problems and feared it could finish us. Tonje Hessen Schei’s documentary goes to the people at the front of that race and settles its question here: less on what the technology can do than on who is building it and where the power is concentrating. Researchers who helped found the field, journalists and lawyers all speak, and the split inside the industry itself becomes visible. The documentary uses an abstract visual character to stand for the AI, and that character develops through the film. Made in Norway, it treats the technology not as a curiosity but directly as a question of power.
