Synopsis

iHuman is a political thriller about artificial intelligence, power and social control. From the inside of 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 shows a growing conflict in the tech world and investigates the consequences of the power concentration of the multi-billion-dollar AI-industry. The film explores the need for international standards and regulations for the development and implementation of AI and asks if it possible to regulate AI. What is coming our way?
At this turning point in history, what goals and values do we program into our AI systems? What is at stake? Who punches in what codes for our future?

Director: Barnaby Thompson

Year: 2026

Featuring interviews with contemporary filmmakers including Wes Anderson, Paul Greengrass, Alfonso Cuarón, Celine Song, Brady Corbet, Francis Ford Coppola, Denis Villeneuve, Nia DaCosta, and Joe Wright.
