Co-director Daniel Roher (who won an Oscar for his Navalny
documentary) is facing impending fatherhood and wonders what sort of world his son will inherit. He speaks to so-called doomerists, who fear for a world dominated by AI. Titans of the industry, such as Sam Altman, the OpenAI CEO, speak of the system’s potential, but this compelling and electric documentary will leave you with some unsettling questions about our future.
