The Building

What happens when a high-powered company CEO becomes dependent on the artificial intelligence that runs his office building? Who is actually in control, and does the artificial intelligence have a more developed moral sense than the man it 'serves'? The Building explores the ethical and personal issues raised by our increased dependence on technology, teasing out the complicated dynamic between the central character Caleb and the Ai programmed to be his assistant.

After the short film screening, there will be a panel discussion led by director Dr Orson Nava, with AI specialists and academics sharing their views on the increased use of AI in work and everyday life and how that is projected to affect our society.
