“Its my first review here, after years of using IMDB. nFirst I would like to say I am not a researcher in AI. But I am a technologist and work in science. I have no conflicts of interest. I did take a course on Machine Learning, and I did read the book of Nick Bostrom (yes, doing both is possible). u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd I really dislike fear mongers and death preachers. I believe in a bright future for us all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYet I find this documentary fabulously useful.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo those who say this documentary is not based on facts: interviewed are some of the finest players out there (like Andrew Ng from Google Brains/Stanford) or biggest shapers of our time (Musk), or before his death Stephen Hawking shared similar opinions.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou don´t have to like Musk and Hawking, but when Musk (and others) present the potentials risks and says: one of the best ways we have at our disposal to prevent this is to Democratize and inform about AI and teach (to avoid monopoly of a couple companies or a state): what´s in it for him ? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think, nothing. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf thats all it takes, or if that helps: democratizing, informing, keeping an eye open, or better regulate more the industry of the big tech companies of the field. Then I say, do it. Avoid the blind-sided-ness of the public. Then all that happens, is that we decrease the risks; Musk doesnt get richer than rich, he already is, we just reduce the risk.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo thanks to Musk and the others for going forward and producing the movie if thats the case, I simply wished you´d make the movie public sometime soon, it would close the ´You just want to cash in on a new fear´angle. But thanks.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd yes it has visuals, is it a shame to want to make a documentary look good.. ? open up.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd DEMOCRATIZE”
