Intelligence Rising

Elena Andreicheva United Kingdom 2026 76 min.

Several intellectual and strategic heavyweights—from military strategists to philosophers—take part in a special game: in a daring war simulation, they are confronted with the potential impact of AI on policymaking and how artificial intelligence could change power relations. Or how some of the world's brightest minds face the future they themselves have helped to create during a unique game.

Entrepreneur and young father Marc Warner want that world leaders take the dangers of AI more seriously. To accomplish this he develops a war game – a sort of geopolitical roleplay – that places us ten years in the future. 

Generals, ambassadors, and philosophers play the game and discover realistic future scenarios in which the possibilities of technology begin to exceed their own ability to control it. The intensity of the game is occasionally interrupted by reflections on the nature of intelligence, while Marc takes care of his son.
