Documentary ‘The Technological Sublime’ Explores AI’s Hidden Global Supply Chain
According to Variety, the documentary 'The Technological Sublime,' directed by Jannes Callens and presented at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) in Taipei, shifts the focus from the abstract 'cloud' concept of AI to its physical reality. The film tracks the AI supply chain starting from quartz mines in the Appalachians, through chip plants in Taiwan, lithium fields in Chile, and undersea cables, concluding with click-workers in Kenya. The documentary aims to reveal the human and environmental costs associated with the technology.
