Director Statement

It is indisputable that discussions about Artificial Intelligence are only going to increase as technologies advance in much more ambitious scales than even sci-fi writers from the past dreamed about. They are also going to open up philosophical questions to ponder: how much power should we give machines ? Are there any areas where automation should be excluded from ? Will the benefits of using such gizmos outweigh the can of worms that it will inevitably open ?

The InTEXTigator is my attempt to initiate such discussions on technology. The very same technology, without which I could never have collaborated with such talented people around the world, sitting in our homes as part of our COVID induced social distancing, to bring my vision to screen. The future doesn’t have to be bleak at all, of course. As Sherlock promises, things can always improve in future iterations.
