The AI Doc Examines the Promise and Peril of Artificial Intelligence Engadget
The documentary "The AI Doc," directed by Daniel Roher, surveys the current AI landscape by featuring interviews with leading AI proponents and outspoken critics. It aims to translate the complex debate over AI’s future into language that mainstream audiences can understand.
