AI is changing the world as we know it. A filmmaker expecting his first child asks the people building it what kind of future lies ahead.
Daniel Roher builds a studio in his home and sits down with researchers, critics and some of the most powerful figures in the AI landscape, from Yuval Harari and Tristan Harris to the heads of OpenAI, DeepMind and Anthropic. What emerges is a kaleidoscopic picture of where this technology might take us, veering between utopian possibility and existential dread. The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist is driven by real unease but fuelled by curiosity, moving at a pace that matches its subject. Playful, urgent and bracingly human, it turns the most complex debate of our time into something thrilling to sit with.
