MediaCityUK’s Space Digital is behind a hard-hitting short film about autonomous weapons that has been viewed more than 400,000 times on YouTube and inspired stories in several national newspapers.
‘Slaughterbots’ imagines a dystopian world where artificially intelligent drones become terrifying killing machines in an attempt to raise awareness about the dangers of autonomous weapons. Space Digital was approached to make the film by the Boston-based Institute, which aims to ‘catalyse and support research and initiatives for safeguarding life and developing optimistic visions of the future’.
