The Benevolent
Directed by
Minna Väisänen
Is ecological collapse inevitable due to the rot with which humans have poisoned the world? Can AI guide humans to make better decisions for the environment? Would AI created by and learning from humans fear a superior alien AI?
The film depicts an AI called gAIl fearing a superior alien AI eventually terminating it if it kills off humankind, although gAIl reasons making homosapiens extinct is the surest way to prevent eco-collapse. However, no definitive answer regarding what gAIl decides is given.
