The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, a documentary by Daniel Roher, Charlie Tyrell

9 April 2026

The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, is a documentary co-directed by Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell, who hope to make sense of artificial intelligence (AI).

But tune into the trailer, and hear the likes of Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Denis Hassabis, and others, utter lines such as “if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong”, or “I know people who work on AI risk who don’t expect their children to make it to high school.”

Along with, “it’s being deployed prematurely. There’s so much potential for things to go wrong”, and “China, North Korea, Russia, whoever wins is essentially the controller of humankind.”

Do we really know what AI is, or, more the question, what it will become?
