Program Note

In a future when the human brain and AI can be connected, Hyera’s son dies in an accident but she manages to revive him by combining part of his brain with AI. One day, Hyera finds her son’s behavior is changing, and suspects that it started after the connection was made. While impersonating her son the AI deceives her and wipes out his soul. Empty Body made by Kim Uiseok, director of After My Death, asks what a true human being is when AI is used to replace the human body, and questioning what it really is. Human beings must live by being connected to AI without having the right to choose their own death, while the AI finds the meaning of its existence by communicating with the human brain. Whether it is human or AI, when they realize the meaning of their existence, should they have the right to choose their own life and death themselves? (MO Eun-young)
