The Blaxcots original Music | Listen to "AI ATTACK!"
The world is abuzz with talk of AI
Artificial Intelligence.
Here are four thoughts from The Blaxcots' Heart.
-
FEAR IS THE CONFLICT - There are promises of extraordinary possibilities and warnings about what can go wrong. Politicians, tech bros, businesses and investors all have their own interests, their own ambitions and their own versions of the future.
-
TRUST IS THE CHALLENGE - Amid the noise, one question remains: who and what should we believe?
AI ATTACK! — WARNING OR COMMAND?
-
COEXISTENCE IS THE POSSIBILITY - Inspired in part by Isaac Asimov’s Runaround, first published in 1942, The Blaxcots approach this question through music and science-fiction fantasy satire. Thanks to Asimov’s Three Laws, humans and robots have learned to coexist in harmony. Here, the notion of AI as the enemy becomes a different kind of puzzle worth solving.
-
UNDERSTANDING IS THE WAY THROUGH - AI ATTACK! (sonic only) is a complete listening experience. The music opens the door to a world of futuristic satire, exploring the ideas and tensions at the heart of the subject.
-
The Blaxcots bring music, identity and AI-assisted visual storytelling together to explore a changing relationship between humanity and technology.
This is not a lecture or a prediction. It is an invitation to listen, question and decide for yourself.

On the other side of that door is the AI ATTACK! video, where images add another dimension to the story. The sonic and video versions each offer an entry point into the work; together, they form the complete creative opus they create space for you to make your own connections. Neither version dictates how you must encounter the work. What matters most is that you do.
Listen then watch “AI ATTACK!”
