Dream Machine: A Portrait of Artificial Intelligence - Paperback

by Appupen (Author), Laurent Daudet (Author)

A graphic novel about the promises and perils of AI.

Hugo, a Parisian entrepreneur, has launched his startup on Large Language Model technology at the heart of the revolution embodied by ChatGPT. On the verge of securing the deal of the century with the digital giant REAL, he wonders about the latter's real motivations: is this the making of a dream or a nightmare? Could Hugo's developments be used for social and political control? REAL's plans for the international launch of their "immortality game" seem to be increasingly opaque, and as useful and efficient AI promises to be, he begins to realize it may also be a potential source of catastrophic outcomes and indecent concentrations of wealth.
