GHOST IN THE MACHINE + Q&A

Director: Valerie Veatch

97 mins, USA, 2026, Digital

SCREENING SATURDAY JUNE 6th

Valerie Veatch’s gripping documentary exposes the hidden history of AI, not as a neutral system of algorithms, but as a technology shaped by racism, misogyny, eugenics, and entrenched structures of power. Rejecting the notion of AI as inevitable, 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.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Dr. Abeba Birhane, Director of the AI Accountability Lab, Trinity College Dublin, chaired by Elaine Burke, host of For Tech’s Sake podcast.
