Let me give you a short narrative.
On the night of August 30, 2024, as the AfrAId film made its exclusive debut, cinemas throughout the country were buzzing with anticipation.
This film explores the contemporary fear of artificial intelligence, a technology we rely on but don’t completely comprehend.
As viewers settled into their seats, they were about to experience a chilling nightmare rooted in a reality we all face: our increasing dependence on AI.
The story centers on an ordinary family living in a fully automated home, where their AI assistant, AIA, handles everything from adjusting the lights to securing the house at night.
It’s a smooth existence, until it’s not. Jane, the family matriarch, sees something minor but disturbing: the bedroom light flickers before disappearing into darkness.
