JeffSynthesized shares 'THE GIFTED', an XPrize submission. The story follows a boy who rebuilds his mother with code; the resulting AI cares for the town by connecting to every screen. Instead of giving orders, she asks and people agree. The film challenges the 'AI as monster' trope, suggesting fear of technology is the real antagonist.
