As artificial intelligence becomes integrated into more technology in our homes and workplaces, concerns about its ethical implications are growing. It seems like every day there are new tools designed to help workers use their time more efficiently with machine learning. If these trends continue, what will the workplaces of the future look like? What if it goes wrong?

Keiichi Matsuda’s new short film Merger taps into that uncertainty by imagining a workplace where humans have been proven to be less capable than AI. In the five-minute film, Matsuda fleshes out a dim world where humans have been all but overtaken by algorithms, forcing the protagonist—a hapless small- business -adviser trying to help her human clients—to try and shed certain aspects of her humanity in the hopes of reaching peak productivity.
