About

Take a tour of "Sim Francisco," a digital metropolis bustling with thousands of AI characters, each experiencing unique lives across diverse neighborhoods. The city's creator — entrepreneur and filmmaker Edward Saatchi — presents animated snippets from these AI lives and explores the possibility that a new intelligence might emerge not from deliberate human creation but rather as an unforeseen and accidental outcome of these complex simulations.
