“The AI Doc” Discussion: Is it the best or worst time to be born now?

Have you seen the movie “The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist” and are left with questions and thoughts that you're longing to express?

A group of friends went to see this documentary and couldn’t stop thinking or discussing about it. Now we want to hear from more people who have seen the movie! Come share your thoughts about AI and the world. NOT from a technological perspective but where our future lies ahead.

We will start from the key questions asked in the documentary, including but not limited to:
- Is it the worst or best time to be born now, at the age of AI?
- Are you an apocaloptimist or pessimist?
- Did anything in the film challenge your previous beliefs about AI?
- Do you think AI will reduce or worsen inequality?
- What can we, as the general public, do to ensure AI safety?

💡Disclaimer: We aim to create a thoughtful, open, and respectful space for sharing ideas. You may encounter perspectives that differ from your own—and that’s part of what makes these conversations meaningful. Sometimes, it’s through contrasting viewpoints that the most interesting insights emerge. We encourage everyone to listen with curiosity and engage with respect.

📍We'll be meeting at Conference Room 2 at West End Library near Foggy Bottom.
