AI – Humanity’s Final Invention?

Artificial Intelligence is revolutionising our world – and could destroy it.

Bringing together the three “Godfathers of AI”, Geoffrey Hinton, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics; Yoshua Bengio, the world’s most cited scientist across all disciplines; and Yann LeCun, former head of AI at Meta, this gripping documentary traces the rise of artificial intelligence from its beginnings in the 1950s to a force that could reshape civilisation. Security researchers demonstrate how AI is already beginning to deceive, resist being shut down and pursue its goals in unpredictable ways. In just a few years’ time, AI systems could reach a level of autonomy and complexity that renders them uncontrollable, posing existential risks to humanity.
