The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist

From the Academy Award®-winning filmmakers behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and Navalny comes a timely, thought-provoking look at the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence.

As AI transforms the way we work, communicate, create, and understand the world, one father-to-be sets out to answer a big question: What exactly is happening with all this AI insanity?

The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist follows his personal journey into one of the most powerful technologies humanity has ever created. Along the way, he speaks with leading thinkers, innovators, and experts. He explores the incredible possibilities AI could unlock. At the same time, he confronts the risks that come with moving too fast.

Can AI help solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges? Or are we building something we may struggle to control? And what kind of future are we creating for the next generation?

Hand-made, curious, and eye-opening, The AI Doc makes a complicated topic feel personal and accessible. It cuts through the hype and fear to explore what AI can really do, where it may be headed, and why the choices we make now matter.

Thoughtful, funny, and deeply human, the film invites audiences to look beyond simple optimism or doom. Instead, it asks us to consider what’s at stake if we get AI right—and what could happen if we get it wrong.
