Artificial Justice
The near future: Spain's legal system has become overburdened, so the government wants to replace judges with an AI software programme called THENTE-1. This programme is supposed to work more efficiently and, above all, more objectively. Carmen Costa, a prominent judge, is asked to evaluate the programme. The sceptical Costa has little faith in artificial intelligence and prefers to rely on her intuition and experience. When the programme's developer, Alicia Kóvack, dies in suspicious circumstances, Costa realises that powerful people within the state have a lot at stake. Is her life still safe?
In the past, films have been made in which intelligent computers proved to be a threat to humans, such as 2001: A Space Odyssey. Back then, it was still science fiction, but now AI is part of our daily lives. And that makes this thriller all the more topical and relevant. The question arises: should we be wary?
