Kings' New Show Tackles AI Gone Wild
6 Oct
Summary
- New legal dramedy 'Cupertino' scrutinizes AI and tech billionaires.
- The show features a boutique firm defending AI victims.
- Filmed in New Jersey, it rarely captures Northern California's essence.
The latest offering from acclaimed showrunners Robert and Michelle King, 'Cupertino,' presents a biting examination of artificial intelligence and the tech industry's elite. The series centers on a boutique law firm established to represent victims of AI mishaps and the encroaching surveillance state.
Led by attorneys Michael Price and Olivia Siffre, the firm rapidly expands its team to tackle a variety of cases, from AI-induced medical record errors to security system malfunctions. These weekly narratives are interwoven with a larger mystery involving a whistleblowing client.
Despite its sharp writing and engaging procedural format, 'Cupertino' was filmed in New Jersey and struggles to authentically represent its Northern California setting. The show critiques fictional tech behemoths while offering overt product placements, marking a slightly less refined effort compared to the Kings' previous successes.
