Obviously, this 1-hour documentary can't cover every aspect of AI from every perspective with every nuance expertly explained, so IDK why so many other reviewers seem to bash it for not doing those things. It's only an hour, and it does a good job of touching on many of the issues & perspectives. Do we need AI? Of course. Will there be abuse? Of course. Is that already happening? Of course. Will it get worse? Of course. Will anyone try to slow that process down?

That's what I see as the real point of this documentary, and in that light, it does an excellent job of presenting the arguments for slowing down right beside the arguments for speeding up. That's why I think some reviewers were confused, or thought that the documentary was confused/confusing. It doesn't make an argument, and then answer that argument - it raises the issue to be debated & dealt with in a way that the average viewer can follow & (hopefully) appreciate.

Because EVERY example shown of AI being used, and the few examples shown of it being ABused, were dangerously easy for any government, corporation, faction, religion, glee club, or introvert next door to accomplish with no special training or equipment.

The military applications are the LEAST-worrying.

I love the part where Emilia says she's really optimistic about the future because of the Biological Weapon Convention. Nice video of President Richard Nixon and Secretary of State Rogers walking into a meeting. How the USA and the communist (USSR) signed a treaty to do away with biological weapons and research. Ha!!! Read the book SPIES that just came out by Calder Walton. Based on the files smuggled out of the USSR the communist NEVER stopped working on biological weapons. We were suckers to believe that they would. Do not think for one second that the bad guys will abide by any LAWS.

Another thing. Why do I have to use so many different words to be able to post a comment.

This is probably the worst of the various ham handed Netflix documentaries I have seen. It is simple minded and well behind the curve on potential issues with AI. In fact it conflates AGI (artificial general intelligence), with AI (artificial intelligence). And it portrays usage in warfighting the main threat. When existential threats are much more likely to come from general population, and in areas seemingly benign compared to warfighting.

Frankly a listen to any couple of lex fridman podcast with the top AI thinkers will teach the average person a lot more, and a lot more accurately about the issue.

Case in point: this documentary frets about AI making decisions about who to attack on the battlespace, which it calls a life or death decision. With zero AI 18 and 19-year olds were already already making such decisions for thousands of years, and from up to half a world away using non AI attack drones for the past 20 and 30 years. AI and algorithms have been demonstrated to make better decisions on that. In fact even in policing AI algorithms have been shown to be profoundly less biased than even expert humans And the existential threat to humans from AI is actually in the most banal of applications, not warfare. Tell an enabled and non-aligned (AI "alignment" is elusive goal of getting AI aligned with human interests) AI to produce as many paper clips as possible and an AI system may turn all atoms on earth into paper clips.

I would skip this nonsense dumbed down junk documentary.

Everything in this is advertising. You have the cgi idealistic shots to the actual ground shots and dear lord compare the two.

This movie was paid for, sponsored for, marketed for, people trying to sell something. And they're behind! They're trying to sell you apple 20 years after iphone

However it's good as a teaching concept, introducing all of these things to new users who may not be as familiar.

In the end,

This movie was paid for, sponsored for, marketed for, people trying to sell something. And again?

This movie was paid for, sponsored for, marketed for, people trying to sell...

It's a repetitive documentary declared as film in Netflix .It was too boring with its narratives .Don't have to watch this childish documentary if really don't want to waste your valuable time .Dragging the scenes with repetitive narratives which is nothing new even for the kids .May be AI itself is surprised why he /she is so dull after watching this annoying fascinated dull story .it's good to avoid to watch this if you are really serious about either a tech film or a informative documentary .News channels may be more informative and thrilling now days, especially when they are covering military advancements and tech innovations by various countries .
