Cinema@SQUARE: Upgrade (2018)

Curated by Jacqueline Gasser-Beck, President of the St. Gallen City Parliament, this edition invites you to experience the sci-fi thriller Upgrade (2018) by Leigh Whannell – an action-packed film that blurs the lines between human and machine.

What if artificial intelligence doesn’t just assist but takes over? After a brutal attack, Grey Trace is implanted with an experimental AI chip called STEM, which restores and enhances his mobility. But when STEM begins to act autonomously, Grey must decide how much control he is willing to surrender.

After the screening, the discussion will be interactive:
Moderator: Jacqueline Gasser-Beck
Speaker:Prof. Dr. Stephan Aier, Permanent Lecturer with Titular Professorship, School of Computer Science
