AI_Absolution shows an AI-person-conversation in which viewers can influence the course by making their own decisions. These are made on behalf of the person and adopted in the conversation. The conversation is set in a future scenario where artificial intelligence optimizes people‘s lives and interacts with them on a daily basis for this purpose. AI_Absolution explores the fine line between the benefits of technology and the preservation of individual self-determination.
