“My main mission now is to warn people how dangerous AI could be,” says Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Laureate who is called the godfather of Artificial Intelligence, in this documentary being shown at the Tribeca Festival about what Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, calls “the most important technology in human history.” Hinton and Hassabis are two of the film’s central characters, many of whom express similar alarm at what they’ve wrought. So why is the film entitled “AI: Probably Nothing to Worry About”? At the very last moment in the film, we see that the title was the AI response to filmmaker Nick Holt’s inquiry: “Need catchy title for documentary about AI – story of how it began, and concerns people have about it/you.”
