yahoo news | A New AI Documentary Puts CEOs in the Hot Seat—but Goes Too Easy on Them
The new documentary The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist places some of the most powerful AI leaders—OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, and DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis—on camera, but it ultimately lets them off the hook. Director Daniel Roher, who previously won an Oscar for Navalny, initially wanted a feature centered on a conversation with Altman, but after months of being ignored he resorted to a chatbot that mimics Altman’s speech and mannerisms. When Altman finally appears, his answers are glib and non‑committal; when Roher asks why anyone should trust him to steer the rapid acceleration of AI, Altman replies, “You shouldn’t,” and the interview ends. The film is framed by Roher’s anxiety about the world his newborn son will inherit, and early interviews—particularly with Tristan Harris of the Center for Humane Technology—underscore a looming sense of panic about AI’s impact on education, employment and even basic survival.
Roher and co‑director Charlie Tyrell use the documentary to deliver a surprisingly clear crash course on AI, defining technical terms in plain language while visually anchoring the narrative with Roher’s own drawings, paintings, and whimsical stop‑motion sequences that hint at producer Daniel Kwan’s influence. Yet the film shies away from probing the grand claims of Silicon Valley optimists who promise AI will cure disease and reverse climate change. Interviews with industry figures such as Reid Hoffman reduce the conversation to vague acknowledgements that benefits will come with “unspecified harms,” and the documentary never deeply interrogates the pathway from today’s large language models to a hypothetical artificial general intelligence. Instead, it leans on a familiar playbook: presenting the technology as consequential while implying that only the interviewed CEOs can be trusted to manage it.
In its conclusion, the documentary urges ordinary citizens to pressure governments and corporations to steer AI toward a “safest, narrowest path toward prosperity for all,” pairing that call to action with footage of historic public projects like the Golden Gate Bridge. After a screening at Los Angeles’ Academy Museum, the filmmakers emphasized the film as a starting point for broader dialogue, yet their optimism feels clouded by a need for a hopeful ending for Roher’s growing family. By presenting the executives as mere passengers in a larger narrative and allowing them to shrug off responsibility for the systems they’ve built, the film risks normalizing a lack of accountability even as it calls viewers to demand more rigorous oversight and collective stewardship of AI’s future.

In this one hour talk #TristanHarris and #AzaRaskin of the #centerforhumanetechnology discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world.

Fascinating new episode from the folks of #YourUndividedAttention at #CenterForHumaneTechnology revolving around the use of #psychdelic #medicine
'Given the perma-crisis we face, it's provocative to think about a tool that, when prescribed and used safely, could help us overcome rivalrous dynamics out in the world and on social media. If we rescue our hijacked brains, we can heal from the constant trauma inflation we get online, and shrink the perception gap that splits us into tribes.'
