​Ghost in the Machine — The buried origins of artificial intelligence

​A film by Valerie Veatch

​The untold origins of artificial intelligence lie not in machines but in power, revealing the fantasies behind the hype that got us here and where we go next.

​GHOST IN THE MACHINE is a gripping and urgently relevant investigative documentary that exposes the buried history of artificial intelligence, not as a neutral system of algorithms, but as a technology shaped by racism, misogyny, eugenics, and entrenched structures of power long before it entered everyday life.

​Rejecting the notion of AI as inevitable or objective, the film traces how myths of progress and efficiency have obscured deeper political and cultural agendas, revealing the ideological foundations beneath the systems now reshaping modern society.

​This is not a film about machines. It is a film about power. GHOST IN THE MACHINE interrogates who builds AI, who benefits from it, and who bears the cost.

​This landmark documentary is mandatory viewing for anyone thinking about or using AI.
