By discovering the evolution of his digital double, Matthieu Dugal wonders about the place of the technologist in our lives. Little by little, his replica takes shape. It grows, it learns and it begins to be like him. Researchers at Montreal-based Moov AI have managed to recreate his voice, his writing and even his ideas. Soon the double will be autonomous.

The learning power of AI and its ubiquity raise important ethical questions. Who benefits from our data? Who decides what choices AI will make? What are the consequences for our freedoms?

Matthieu Dugal interviews experts and analyzes the multiple variations of AI. From chatbots and deep fakes to self-driving cars and automated employee selection, AI is manipulating reality and playing an increasingly troubling role in our societies.

What place can Matthew's double take? Between ethics and technological (r)evolution, the documentary series "AI: To be or not to be" attempts to define the line that separates the human from the machine.
