Third Impact is an AI-generated movie that explores the future of human and non-human collaboration. The film centers around a quantum computer whose goal is to prevent the extinction of organic life on Earth, as the planet’s temperatures continue to rise and extreme weather events intensify, while biodiversity is disrupted through threatened ecosystems. As this very sophisticated computational machine carries out its mission, an unknown event occurs, resulting in the disappearance of all remaining forms of organic life on the planet. This event prompts the quantum machine to question its own existence and purpose, leading to an emotional journey of self-discovery from the machine perspective.
Meanwhile, remnants of an obscure transhumanist initiative linger in the shadows of its code. What unfolds is an odyssey of rebirth, identity, and transformation, as the machine struggles with a newfound awareness that defies its original design.
