Overview
- The AI Doc, now in theaters, centers on whether children today will reach adulthood in a world shaped by advanced artificial intelligence.
- A Business Insider write-up cites the film’s claim that about 20,000 people work on artificial general intelligence versus fewer than 200 on alignment and safety, presented as the documentary’s own figure.
- Several interviewees, including Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic’s Daniela Amodei, say it is still a good time to have kids despite AI risks.
- The film highlights speed-versus-safety trade-offs as Altman says the competitor willing to take more safety shortcuts will get there first.
- Early reviews describe an accessible primer with rare access to AI chiefs that seldom presses them, and one critic noted a near-empty theater.
