A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Training_Set follows two millennial women—a high-octane divorce lawyer and an art world innovator—who circle each other in a fierce, intoxicating friendship. When one introduces a Gen-Z man into their orbit, his presence—and the AI quietly observing them—sets off a chain of desire, revelation, and reckoning. As the algorithm learns to detect even what is unsaid, they confront the surveillance of love itself.
Training_Set is about our human responses to AI: fascination, fear, dependence, revulsion. It's less a story of machines than of people navigating life with technology in our most intimate spaces. Some see AI as a useful tool, others as a corrupting force; most of us hover uneasily in between. Every interaction becomes a small Faustian bargain — privacy or autonomy traded for ease or connection. Training_Set audiences to witness these tensions and recognize their own responses in the mirror..."
