A·poc·a·lop·ti·mist (noun): a person who believes that even though we are currently racing towards the worst possible outcome, there's still a chance we can get our sh*t together.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Daniel Roher (Navalny) approaches this personal, visually inventive documentary as a father-to-be trying to figure out what is happening with all this AI insanity. Produced by Daniel Kwan (Everything Everywhere All at Once), co-directed by genius animator Charlie Tyrell and premiering at Sundance, this eye-opening film brings together the leading voices shaping and challenging the rise of AI. What emerges is an inspiring call to attention: a real-time exploration of the existential dangers and extraordinary promise of this rapidly rising technology.
Discussion follows with Professor Dan Rockmore, Director of the Neukom Institute for Computational Science
