There are advanced AIs throughout the movie. There is one controlling a car which is overriden, and then crashed. May be triggering for some.

There aren't really bugs in it, but STEM looks like a centipede in the few scenes it appears in, and Grey calls it a bug when he first sees it. If you're really freaked out by bugs just watch out for when it's on screen I guess.

A head is blown off in the rooftop chase scene: disappears in a quick cloud of gore.

A man's jaw is severed nearly from his skull by knife from behind. I know it doesn't affect the teeth directly, but you will certainly SEE ALL his teeth as his mouth gets opened wide like a snake's unhinged jaw.

Not necessarily mutilation - a character (many are augmented/teched out) uses an implement from his finger to poke a dead character's eye to see his memories.

In the scenes where it's shown a character is taking over another character to aid them, the shakey cam personifies/shows this during. It's evident during quite a few scenes, and lasts sometimes for more than 2 minutes. Those with motion sickness might not want to watch this movie.

Jaime, a character in the movie, is non-binary or ambiguously gendered. It's gently mentioned when they ask the main protagonist to don't ask about their gender," to which the protag says "Wasn't gonna."
