""Artificial intelligence is a marketing term that sells a promise rather than a scientific term for a specific technology. This promise is grounded in a racist tradition of intelligence research, which believes intelligence can be quantified by arbitrary metrics such as processing speed and memory.""
"Valerie Veatch's film weaves together historical archives and interviews with over 30 experts, producing a cinematic treatise that empowers viewers to combat the insidious culture of techno-optimism surrounding AI."
The documentaries "Ghost in the Machine" and "The AI Doc" both explore the societal implications of artificial intelligence, culminating in calls to action. "Ghost in the Machine" delves into the historical roots of AI, revealing its eugenicist origins and critiquing the techno-optimism surrounding it. In contrast, "The AI Doc" presents a more optimistic view of AI's potential. Together, they reflect the diverse anxieties and attitudes towards AI, emphasizing the need for critical engagement with technology.
