"Success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation. But it could also be the last – unless we learn how to avoid the risks".

This quote is from famous physicist, Stephen Hawking, but it almost perfectly sums up the new documentary: THE AI DOC: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist. It has been described as the most urgent movie of our time.

We will be hosting an exclusive pre-release screening of the upcoming AI documentary at New York University on Tuesday, March 24 at 6:30 pm. And we are giving away free tickets to subscribers of this newsletter! Yes, that’s you!

Get a sneak preview of what is likely going to be the most talked about documentary of the year then stick around for a conversation we are hosting with the Academy Award winning producer, Jonathan Wang, and NYT # Bestselling author of The Anxious Generation, Jon Haidt. We promise to keep things spicy!
