About
In the near future, the Spanish government seeks to alleviate overburdened court systems by implementing an ambitious plan: complete automation of judicial proceedings using artificial intelligence (AI), with no human intervention. Renowned judge Carmen Costa is enlisted to execute this plan. However, when the CEO of the AI company sustains an accident, the plans unravel. Artificial Justice, a gripping Spanish thriller, unfolds against this backdrop of a justice system on the brink and a society where technology's potential is just slightly beyond our current capabilities. This lends the film a sense of urgency, as discussions about AI resonate eerily with our reality and the overstretched judicial system grapples with its consequences. Actress Veronica Echegui portrays Carmen Costa, whose loyalty to the late CEO of the AI company clashes with her belief in human justice. Carmen's internal struggle forms the crux of the film, lending a profoundly human face to an important technological conundrum. As judge Carmen Costa delves deeper into the intricate world of AI and automation, she finds herself grappling not only with the ethical implications but also the practical challenges that arise when machines are tasked with making life-altering decisions. The film offers a sobering look at the potential consequences of unchecked technological progress, raising thought-provoking questions about accountability, humanity, and the very nature of justice itself.
