Analysis Summary
Valerie Veatch's Ghost in the Machine premiered at Sundance 2026 and traces how AI development is historically linked to scientific racism, eugenics, and control mechanisms rather than neutral technology. The film is on a spring community screening tour with a summer theatrical release before PBS broadcast in fall 2026. Gerard's personal endorsement ('so you know it's good stuff') is opinion, but the documentary's thesis about AI's connections to racist pseudoscience is substantiated by film critics and the director's documented research.
