"Artificial Intelligence is all that is wrong with the modern, capitalist technology", says cybersecurity worker Mateus: "It is a system that hinders the flow of information, complicates communication, and promotes misinformation."

The interview with Mateus is of our new film project “Insurrection And Production”.
