Let me start by saying this title is terrible. Did they ask Claude? They should have run it by Claude. But I digress… The Oscar-winning Nevalny team (including producer Diane Becker) has made an interesting, watchable and humanistic essay about the possibilities and dangers of the recent, major breakthroughs in machine learning. It’s primarily composed of talking-head interviews which thankfully don’t devolve into a bunch of techno-jargon and cyber-lingo. Clever animated sequences explain some of the larger concepts, while experts discuss what could be the consequences of making computers that are way, way more powerful than they’ve ever been. The allegories and examples are poignant, which might calm down the doomsayers about A.I. by proposing that all is not lost as long as we behave ourselves. A very worthwhile watch.
