The argument

Inside this module.

As A.I. replaces tedious or dangerous tasks, the human workforce is liberated to focus on work that requires creativity and empathy — or so we are told. But could A.I. pose an existential threat? What happens when algorithms decide more of our lives, when machines take over jobs, or when systems we don't understand begin shaping public opinion? You will leave with more questions than answers, but better equipped to ask them.
