Artificial intelligence (AI) would be the future of humanity. We count on it to help doctors and police officers, to replace drivers and judges… The inexorable logic of the algorithms would guarantee us a life without errors. But after years of promises in all areas, the programmers themselves are shying away from it. Some even become whistleblowers: There is an urgent need to disclose the scientific background in order to better understand how computer systems are increasingly making decisions for us.
This documentary aims to unravel the realities behind today's artificial intelligence by examining how it works, the challenges scientists face, and the ethical questions its use raises in our societies.

JEAN-CHRISTOPHE RIBOT, the director and co-author of the documentary
After studying science at university, Jean-Christophe Ribot completed training in feature films and documentary films at the Louis Lumière National School. He has been making documentaries for around fifteen years. He became known for his first atypical film “Football, Collective Intelligence,” which examines systems theory from the perspective of football. More recently he directed And Man Created the Cow, then The Rosetta Odyssey – 900 Days on a Comet, a feature film that traces the story of a historic space mission, and The Guinea Pigs of the Cosmos, which brings us to Collecting brought testimonials from astronauts from all over the world. His films, which often touch on the areas of science and research, have received awards at numerous international festivals. In addition, Jean-Christophe Ribot worked as an editor for several regional selection committees and at the CNC, both in fiction and in documentation.
CÉCILE DUMAS, co-author of the documentary
The science journalist and author Cécile Dumas has been researching all areas of science for around twenty years, from space adventures to the evolution of life, from the history of the Earth and its inhabitants to the secrets of our DNA. She started in radio (France Inter, BFM), then was a journalist for Sciences et Avenir from 2000 to 2012 and quickly decided to dedicate herself to the “popularization” of science, to make known and share a universe that a large part was unknown to the public, which journalism allows us to explore with curiosity and freedom.
