What recently sounded like science fiction is now reality. Killer robots and kamikaze drones are pushing the military and police. Artificial intelligence controls drones in the war in Ukraine, lets robot dogs patrol the streets of New York and hacks into our heads via the internet. But where will this lead if AI becomes the world's most important weapon? Is there a threat of loss of control? Director Daniel Andrew Wunderer has interviewed experts and has a roboticist, a hacker and a soldier tell their personal stories of how man and machine are already fighting the wars of the future.

"An essential, thought-provoking resource for students, researchers, and policymakers. It is both a warning and an appeal for critical engagement with AI, encouraging a conscientious approach to its integration into society. This film's balanced narrative and cinematographic choices make it a powerful educational tool, as it vividly illustrates the ethical and existential challenges of AI in the 21st century. This film is highly recommended."
— Danielle Hassan, Assistant Professor, University of Alabama at Birmingham for Educational Media Reviews Online
