AI Video Tech | Creative Tools or Theft of Voices?

Award winning documentary filmmaker Valerie Veatch joins Kickin’ It With Tyree to discuss her latest feature documentary Ghost in the Machine, premiering at the Sundance Film Festival.

In this in depth conversation, Veatch breaks down why Ghost in the Machine is not a film about machines but a film about power. Drawing from interviews with sociologists, AI researchers, journalists, and academics, the film challenges the myths surrounding artificial intelligence and exposes the real world consequences of unregulated tech narratives.

Veatch discusses how generative AI is being marketed as a creative tool while quietly reproducing bias, misogyny, and inequality. She also reflects on authorship, labor, and why resisting so called AI can be an act of creative autonomy.

In this interview
• Why AI is a marketing term not intelligence
• How generative AI reproduces bias and power structures
• The myth of super intelligence and inevitability
• Why authorship and human intention still matter
• Making a documentary without big tech funding
• Premiering at Sundance in its final year in Park City

Ghost in the Machine marks Veatch’s third feature documentary to premiere at Sundance and continues her exploration of technology, culture, and power following Me at the Zoo and Love Child.
