Superintelligence is a 2020 American romantic action comedy film directed by Ben Falcone and written by Steve Mallory.
Superintelligence was released by Warner Bros. Pictures digitally in the United States via HBO Max, and theatrically in some international markets, on November 26, 2020.
Telling Carol it will be watching her over three days to decide, it erases her student debt and deposits 10 million dollars into her bank account.
The AI also convinces Carol to try to get back with her ex-boyfriend, George, thinking observing their reconciliation would be the ideal way to prove humans are capable of love and redemption.
In the meantime, Dennis meets with the President of the United States, convincing her and the world to shut down all electronics, hoping to neutralize the AI.
However, she selflessly chooses to turn down the NSA's offer to protect her with them in an underground bunker and instead helps George finish packing for his Ireland fellowship.
In July 2017, it was reported that New Line Cinema had purchased the screenplay by Steve Mallory, with Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone on board the project to produce through their On the Day Productions banner.

"[22] Caryn James of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "The cast, though, is full of extraordinary actors, who do what they can to redeem a lame script and style.
