POWER is a documentary series exploring the race to power now for the future economy and geopolitical landscape — to be transformed and determined largely by AI. It tells the story of how artificial intelligence is resulting in exponentially cascading transformations across infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, national security, labor and society that will determine which nations, communities and individuals can compete and thrive in the future. The series is politically and technologically neutral, and educates the viewer on the issues, costs and choices at stake.
