AI is outpacing humanity's capacity to police the programs it creates, so we can expect a deluge of AI-focused movies centered around the premise of "just because we can, doesn't mean we should."

A small team of special agents discovers a revolutionary computer program that uses a digital child to catch online predators. After teaming up with the program’s troubled developer, they soon find that the AI’s inevitable advancement is far more rapid and incalculable than they could have imagined, posing unforeseen challenges and unsettling consequences for the future of technology and mankind.

The Artifice Girl stars Tatum Matthews, Sinda Nichols, David Girard, Franklin Ritch, Lance Henriksen and is directed by Franklin Ritch.

MontiLee Stormer is a writer of horror, dark and urban fantasy. She’s also is a troublemaker, concocting acts of mayhem and despair for her own selfish pleasure. An avid movie watcher, she prefers horror but will see just about anything if you're buying. Poltergeist (1982) is her favorite movie and she actively hates The Shining (1980) due to its racism, misogyny, the butchering of the source material. She could host a TEDtalk on this single subject. Writing about herself in the third person is just a bonus.
