The AI documentary is out, from the creators of Everything Everywhere All At Once.

A major documentary on artificial intelligence, titled 'The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist,' has been announced by the Academy Award-winning production teams behind 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' and the documentary 'Navalny.' This film directly tackles the central philosophical and practical conflict surrounding advanced AI: is it an existential threat that could lead to humanity's collapse, or a transformative tool that could enable us to cure all diseases and become an interplanetary species? The documentary's 'apocaloptimist' framing suggests it will deeply explore both the catastrophic risks and extraordinary promises that leading researchers publicly debate.

The film's credibility and access are underscored by its featured interviews with the CEOs and top researchers from the most influential AI labs, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Meta. This provides an unprecedented, insider look at the motivations and concerns driving the private race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). By bringing together these competing voices, the documentary aims to move the public conversation beyond hype and fear, examining the tangible stakes—from job displacement and misinformation to breakthroughs in science and medicine—that will define the coming decade. Its theatrical release on March 27 positions it as a cultural event meant to spark mainstream discussion on a par with its creators' previous critically acclaimed work.
