CriticsCritics: 56
AudienceAudience: 7.0

A father-to-be investigates the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, speaking with people who understand its development and debating what this powerful technology could mean for society. The documentary explores AI’s promises, dangers, and uncertain future while asking what may be at stake if humanity gets its choices wrong.

My take

You’ll like this if you want an accessible, unsettling discussion of AI’s promises and dangers; Not for you if you prefer documentaries with clean answers, light moods, or resolved conclusions.
