"Der Autokraten-Code" is an experimental documentary exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, politics, and power dynamics. Broadcast on German public television, the project engages six experts, including Bertram, from diverse disciplines to design a fictional autocratic leadership figure for Germany using AI tools.
The film delves into ethical questions surrounding AI's role in decision-making, power structures, and societal impact. It features insights from leading international AI pioneers such as Geoffrey Hinton and Wendy Hall, reflecting the growing tension between technological innovation and human governance.
By combining AI-generated models with expert analysis, the documentary challenges viewers to reflect on technology's influence on leadership, democracy, and individual agency. The result is a provocative commentary on the delicate balance between progress and control in an increasingly digitized world.
