A Persian-language film from Asoo, “Mahou’s World,” interviews three Iranian AI scientists about how AI could reshape the future.
It raises questions about:
- AI’s effects on the economy, jobs, education, and governance
- whether human agency and our view of life will change
- whether reality will become harder or easier to distinguish
- whether control of AI could slip out of human hands
The film features Nika Haghtalab (UC Berkeley), Atousa Khatirzadeh (CMU), and Niloufar Mirshekarlah (CMU).
