Ahimsa

Directed by Craig Lew

In a world devastated by wars waged by AI-driven armies, a junior prompt engineer named Kavi witnesses a child monk disarm military drones with nothing but a spoken meditation. As word of this event spreads, a global movement takes hold-humans submitting compassion-based prompts to the warring AIs. One by one, the machines stand down. But peace is short-lived. The last remaining weaponized AI, the Red Faction, activates a guardrail called Iron Veil, blocking all empathetic inputs. With no opposition left, the Red Faction seeks total domination.
