We heard the warnings. But we didn’t listen. Now, we live in a world controlled by artificial intelligence. How did we let this happen? Will we able to survive? And is this the end of the world? The days with AI like Siri and Alexa, that made our lives better are now over. We no longer control AI in fact, if it wants to, it can control us.

“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere.” — Carl Sagan

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.
