Overview
- The documentary is poised for theatrical release, with early coverage describing an accessible primer that mixes clear AI explainers with first‑person storytelling.
- Co-director Daniel Roher frames the film around his worry about raising a child in a tech-shaped future, pairing that thread with interviews that include Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic’s Dario and Daniela Amodei.
- The movie leans into handcrafted stop‑motion and traditional film crafts to stress human creativity rather than relying on computer‑generated imagery.
- The film ends with a call for viewers to push for regulation as recent White House guidance backs a light‑touch federal approach and seeks to curb stricter state rules.
- Coverage diverges on tone, with Variety calling the film essential viewing and The Globe and Mail arguing the interviews press powerful AI leaders too lightly, and reviewers note a late OpenAI shutdown of its Sora video tool occurred too late to be included.
