Daniel Roher is about to have his first child and the controversy around AI is causing him to wonder if he should be introducing a new person to this upcoming tech world. He assembles a bunch of experts, including ChapGTP founder Sam Altman, to discuss the power and pitfalls. They present a compelling case on both sides. Roher, along with co-director Charlie Tyrell, has kept this pretty traditional with talking heads with some fun graphics and illustrations to soften the blow. AI is the most powerful technology ever created and the outcome is terrifying and exciting. This film manages to convey both potentials with lots of personal input, but it doesn't offer a satisfying conclusion.

Just saw The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist and honestly it’s one of those movies that just stays in your head after you leave the theater. What I really liked is that it doesn’t talk down to you or try to scare you into caring. The director is basically going through this journey of becoming a dad and wondering what the future looks like for his kid, and that hook makes everything feel real and relatable instead of like a lecture. They talk to a ton of experts on all sides, and I walked out feeling like I actually understood the conversation better. Highly recommend, especially if AI is something you’ve been curious or nervous about. Go see it!
