Når en alvidende superintelligens beslutter at studere den gennemsnitlige Carol Peters, hænger verden i en skrøbelig balance. Når A.I. vælger mellem at underkue, redde eller ødelægge menneskeheden, er det op til Carol at bevise, at mennesker er værd at redde.
"Superintelligence" is the fourth collaboration between the brilliant comedy actress Melissa McCarthy with her husband Ben Falcone. This time she is Carol Peters, an ordinary woman with an ordinary but cute pet, living her dull life day after day. The ordinary turns into extraordinary when one day our girl starts hearing strange noises not only from her phone, but also from the TV and even from the microwave. Worried by the idea that someone is making pranks on her, or worst - that she is losing her mind, Carol discovers that the reason for the strange behaviour of the appliances around her is hard to believe. It appears that the first superintelligence in the world is using her for observations, experimenting with her life and using her as a starting point to take over everything on Earth.
