The term Alignment Problem in artificial intelligence studies refers to the challenge of ensuring AI systems’ goals and behaviors align with human values and intentions. In this experimental short film this concept serves as the through-line for an articulated dialogue between a male and a female entity: he, the creator, seeks to mold her, an embodiment of AI, to mirror his worldview and aims.
Disclaimer: This film was written, produced and animated entirely without the use of artificial intelligence.
