Filmmakers Reveal AI Documentary's Apocaloptimist Focus

Filmmakers Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell discussed their Sundance-panel documentary 'The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist' on Jan. 23, describing a nearly three-year production that interviewed more than 40 experts and generated 3,300 pages of transcripts. They used handmade animation, strategic research and ethical stances—ending the film with a 'may not be used to train AI' disclaimer—ahead of its March 27 release.
