Digital capitalism and AI are changing the entire world. But who are the people at the top steering this development? And what are their ethical principles? The film is a portrait of one of the most mysterious CEOs in the Silicon Valley.
Alex Karp, a billionaire with a doctorate in philosophy, a self-proclaimed neo-Marxist and pacifist, as well as CEO of PALANTIR whose most successful software is used by police forces to predict crime and by the military to occasionally “kill people”, as Karp puts it.
He is described by insiders as one of the mightiest men in the digital industry next to Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The film is a look into the digital, algorithm-driven world of tomorrow - and behind the facade of one of its creators, who appears to be as brilliant as power-hungry
