We Need to Talk About ‘We Need to Talk About AI’
Owing to coronavirus and worldwide civil unrest, no one is talking about this new AI documentary, so let’s give it the podium it deserves…
An unwitting victim of circumstance, We Need to Talk About AI was released on April 20th this year with shockingly little fanfare. But, like its central topic, we really shouldn’t let this insightful and thought-provoking feature documentary on artificial intelligence (AI) us by.
The latest creation from Leanne Pooley, the renowned Canadian director-producer behind the likes of The Promise and Beyond the Edge, We Need to Talk About AI is an important addition to an ever-growing library of content on one of the greatest potential threats to mankind.
Pooley brings together an impressive roster of contributors, including director James Cameron; MIT’s Max Tegmark, co-founder of the Future of Life Institute and author of Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence; and entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, founder and CEO of neurotechnology firm Kernel and contributor to Architects of Intelligence: The Truth About AI from the People Building it.
