Dataland

A cautionary tale of the power and potential dangers of artificial intelligence.

Trailer

Why watch this film?

Movies that analyze the potential of social networks are increasingly present in cinemas, such as 'The Network Dilemma' -- whether with a positive or negative look at the effects of these virtual environments. 'Dataland', meanwhile, goes down a slightly different path. Here, director Blaise Piguet escapes a bit from the sappy aspect of this shallow look and seeks to delve into the world of artificial intelligences. Although social networks have their moment of reflection here, the main point of 'Dataland' ends up being the possibilities of this technology and the necessary precautions when putting a certain "mentality" into machines. A somewhat square and banal movie, but one that hits the mark by bringing increasingly necessary and relevant questions to the world.

Plot summary

AI already plays a major role in the developed world; from transport logistics to healthcare and national security. But as this bold analysis from RTS makes clear, we're only just scratching the surface of AI's capabilities. From Ireland's 'smart cities' in Europe's Silicon Valley to China's dystopian Social Credit system, Dataland shows us the breadth of latent potential being unleashed by the world's top data scientists.
