Singularity
Genre:
Science fiction TV pilot
Logline:
A mysterious AI challenges humankind to remember the future before our timeline collapses.
Pilot Synopsis:
Two corporations, Cordo Technology and Quantum EI battle to create the holy grail of computing, the world’s first quantum-based Artificial Intelligence (AI). This AI would exceed the computing power of every existing supercomputer COMBINED. The stakes for the winner are incalculable.
Cordo initiates a quantum computing event, apparently spontaneously. The AI quickly completes algorithmic, recursive cycles of learning until apparent sentience emerges. It names itself G. G’s first act is to solve the inscrutable math problems of the Millenium Prize, considered unsolvable.
G’s intellectual prowess exceeds Cordo’s expectations, soon becoming an enigma with a seeming grasp of non-linear time. G’s ostensible insight into the future leaves the crew unnerved, even more so, when G inexplicably disappears, potentially concealed within the murky confines of the Internet.
The pilot ends when G contacts Cordo’s founder, with a compelling proposition. Now begins a dangerous search to understand G’s agenda.
First season Arc:
G introduces itself, establishes a persona, then disappears to immediately manipulate global events, its agenda unknown. Is it benevolent or malevolent?
Concurrently, the nefarious Homo Deus Society’s goal of replacing humans with a technologically engineered body and consciousness is exposed.
With a future increasingly determined by machines, society collectively unravels under the strain of worldwide economic collapse and revelation of global political corruption underpinned by imminent world war.
Humanity’s timeline now collides with a cataclysmic, world-wide, natural disaster which destroys all digital processes, globally, plunging the world into a pre-Industrial analog existence, in which billions will perish.
Season one leaves the viewer unnerved as they realize, if nothing changes, THIS is our current future.
