Tackling the Ethics of AI through the Making of GHOST IN THE MACHINE with Valerie Veatch
Director Valerie Veatch returns with her third film to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in competition with her new documentary, Ghost in the Machine. The provocative feature exposes the buried history of artificial intelligence and entrenched structures of power that have shaped the technology. In this special three-hour session, Veatch will present a deep-dive into the making of her documentary as well as the technology’s implications with regards to race, gender, data, labor, the climate, and more. Veatch will lead a series of three panel discussions with nine experts who appear in her film. These exclusive conversations will offer insight into finding and shaping your story with your documentary participants, and prove essential for those interested in the systems surrounding the development of AI.
This panel will include Veatch, Richard Mathenge, Mophat Okinyi, Krystal Kauffman, and Milagros Miceli.
