What does the mind-blowing story of humankind look like through the eyes of artificial intelligence? ‘Once Upon A.I. – Inspired by Yuval Noah Harari’ is an experimental short film featuring over 260 strange and spectacular images, generated by 13 different A.I. algorithms.
It’s a collaboration between Sapienship, Love Tomorrow, AKA De Mensen, Once Storytelling, No Computer, and… several machines. The film was originally created for Tomorrowland festival’s Love Tomorrow Conference in July 2022.
