🎞️ «Ghost in the Machine»
DESCRIPTION
DIRECTED BY: Valerie Veatch
YEAR: 2026
LENGTH: 95’
A gripping and urgently relevant investigative documentary that exposes the buried history of artificial intelligence, not as a neutral system of algorithms, but as a technology shaped by racism, misogyny, eugenics, and entrenched structures of power long before it entered everyday life. Rejecting the notion of AI as inevitable or objective, the film traces how myths of progress and efficiency have obscured deeper political and cultural agendas, revealing the ideological foundations beneath the systems now reshaping modern society.
Structured as an eight-chapter inquiry, the film blends historical excavation with contemporary analysis to confront essential questions: who built these systems, whose values they encode, and who they benefit. Directed by Valerie Veatch, Ghost in the Machine offers a visceral understanding of a technology that now touches nearly every aspect of modern life. This is not a film about machines. It is a film about power.
