Documentary Explores AI Risks And Parenthood
Directors Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell's documentary "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist," which premiered at Sundance and opened in theaters this week, features interviews with major AI figures including Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis, Jan Leike and Ilya Sutskever. The 104-minute film highlights an industry imbalance—about 20,000 people pursuing AGI versus fewer than 200 working on alignment—and frames the AI race as profit-driven, stressing tensions between speed and safety for developers and policy makers.
