    Synopsis

    Digital capitalism and AI are changing the 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 and mightiest men 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' – in Karp's own words.
