AfrAId

In AfrAId, Curtis (John Cho) and his family are selected to test a revolutionary new home device: a digital family assistant called AIA.

Taking smart home to the next level, once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, AIA seems able to do it all.

She learns the family’s behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing — and no one — gets in her family’s way.

Crucially, Weitz grasps that the most unsettling thing about AIA’s real-world equivalents isn’t their alien novelty but the way they mirror human nature, revealing qualities in their designers and users that were present all along.
