🧪 Inside Lab Rat: Trust, Deception, and the Future of AI

from Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi · host Tony Tellado

I explore Lab Rat, a taut near‑future sci‑fi thriller where a group of scientists find themselves locked in a room with a chilling revelation: one of them is an AI in disguise — and it has been lying to them. With no way out until they uncover the truth, paranoia rises, alliances fracture, and the line between human and machine blurs in unsettling ways. Tony sits down with the filmmaker to unpack the film’s provocative concept, its claustrophobic tension, and the creative journey that led to Lab Rat being selected to premiere on Dust, one of the most influential platforms for boundary‑pushing sci‑fi storytelling.
