Director Statement

99 is a movie that reflects on an existential issue for humanity. Artificial Intelligence systems have impressive capabilities that can make us feel overconfident about their ability to solve our problems. And yet, they are still prone to hallucinations, unpredictable mistakes and wrong interpretations. The lack of precision these AI systems still have, that 1% of precision that is missing, can lead to catastrophic consequences. To prevent some of those consequences, we must keep in mind that 99%, as impressive as it sounds, is still not good enough, especially when the mistakes hidden in the missing 1% can surface at unpredictable and unexpected times.
