Developments in artificial intelligence are accelerating at an astonishing pace. In this documentary, Anne-Marie Tomchak will take a look at how this technology is transforming the human experience. Exploring the positive developments in areas like health, education, climate action, and relationships as well as touching on the negatives -  the scourge of misinformation, the threat to jobs and the existential concern around artificial intelligence becoming more intelligent than us, Anne-Marie wants to educate and empower the audience to arm themselves with the knowledge to make the most of this technology rather than becoming overwhelmed by its power.
