The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist

Six hours before the system went live, its lead architect was still coding the final failsafe. This 2026 documentary chronicles the chaotic birth of a global artificial intelligence, not from the perspective of its creators, but through the eyes of the ordinary people whose lives it first touched. From a farmer in Nebraska to a teacher in Jakarta, the film weaves a tapestry of quiet, personal revolutions against a backdrop of worldwide technological upheaval. A poignant and often humorous documentary about adaptation, it explores whether cautious optimism can be a radical act at the end of the world as we know it.
