Movie Review: The AI Doc (2026) (thezvi.substack.com)

The review praises “The AI Doc” as a sincere, largely spoilorific documentary following its creator’s shift from panic about existential AI risk to “apocaloptimism,” framed around interviews with both worried researchers and tech optimists. It says the film’s editing and lineup present those disagreements as genuine rather than staged, while stressing the personal stakes of wanting children and calling for concrete action like safety measures and international coordination. The author ultimately finds the risk arguments more substantial than the “vibes”-based optimism but credits the film for giving multiple perspectives space.
