A stunning new documentary about the most urgent challenge facing humanity today, From the Academy Award®-winning filmmakers behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and Navalny, the documentary is told through Roher’s experience as a father-to-be on a quest to understand the world his child is about to inherit. As he grapples with the explosive risks and revolutionary potential of AI, Roher turns to the leading voices shaping and challenging the rise of this new technology (Sam Altman, Tristan Harris, Ilya Sutskever) . What emerges is an inspiring call to attention: a real-time exploration of forces advancing faster than ever. Through in-depth conversations with the leading voices in AI, audiences will be confronted with a stark wake-up call that explores the existential dangers and extraordinary promise of this rapidly rising technology.
