In this engaging installation lecture, UNM doctoral researcher Maegan Carberry and their students confront the widespread anxiety surrounding artificial intelligence amid modern political, environmental, and cultural uncertainty. Questioning the notion that a tech-dominated future is inevitable, the short explores AI as a tool that must be guided by human decisions and integrated into a broader definition of "collective intelligence." Students and community members weigh in throughout the piece, raising critical questions about labor, corporate power, resource usage, privacy, faith, and education. Rather than giving in to fear or helplessness, the film encourages viewers to thoughtfully decide how AI should shape their own lives, work, and local communities.
