Delivering much information about the scale of what\u2019s coming, documentary also follows Gawdat\u2019s campaign to get the programs with empathy<\/p>\n

Another day, another warning about AI; vis-a-vis the reality we all know, this has roughly the same reassuring effect as a plane fuselage ripping off mid-flight. Starting off with familiar criticisms, such as putting the world out of work and handing over power to tech barons, Alex Holmes and Lina Zilinskaite\u2019s film blasts an concentrated stream of AI concerns in its 83-minute runtime. By the time it is talking about current efforts to create computers out of human brain cells, potentially integrable into our own craniums, and implying this might be a good thing, it is (ironically) hard to know how to process all of this.<\/p>\n

The Cassandra at the film\u2019s centre is Mo Gawdat, former chief business officer at Google X<\/a>, now a touring cautionary voice trying to get the world to listen about the perils of AI. Once overseeing advanced projects for the tech giants, his biggest moonshot lies ahead: to introduce a moral dimension into a tech race that looks increasingly like the frenzied season finale of late capitalism. He talks about feeling parental pride in watching Google\u2019s AI-driven robotic arms learn to grasp objects, as children do. And he feels that humanity\u2019s capacity for benevolence is exactly the training resource needed by neural networks in order to prevent the technology ushering in catastrophe.<\/p>\n
