What happens when technology moves faster than our ability to understand it? In this insightful conversation, the creators of the new documentary "The AI Doc" sit down with Mashable to discuss the complex psychological and societal impacts of artificial intelligence. From the initial panic of a "spiral" to the pursuit of "apocaloptimism," filmmakers Daniel Kwan, Charlie Tyrell, and Ted Tremper explore why we need to move past polarized debates and find a collective path forward.
Learn about the Creators Coalition of AI, the importance of establishing industry standards, and how everyday actions can help us stay grounded as technology evolves. Whether you're an enthusiast or a skeptic, this discussion offers a sober, nuanced look at how we can co-evolve with the machines we’ve built.
"The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist" is only in theaters on March 27.
