NEW YORK, February 15, 2024 (Newswire.com) - "Awakening the Machine: The AI Revolution," a major new documentary focusing on the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, is currently in production and set for release in 2024. This timely and crucial film began production in early 2023, amidst a global surge in AI development and growing concerns about its potential risks.
Produced by Machina Productions, the documentary aims to provide a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of AI's impact on society. The project is spearheaded by Carolyn Rogers, a seasoned technology professional with a notable stint at IBM and credits including the 2017 Discovery Channel documentary "This is AI," and by Mark Soares, Founder and CEO of emerging technology agency Blokhaus Inc. The film is directed by Chris Hershman, recognized for his cinematic work for top music acts as well as commercial projects within the tech industry.
"A key goal of 'Awakening the Machine' is to offer the public an in-depth understanding of the implications of AI – not only the future risks but also the very real issues it is creating today," said producer Carolyn Rogers. "We are technologists who believe in the potential of AI, but also want to foster a discussion about what it means to develop it responsibly. A central question the film strives to answer is: how much human agency are we willing to give up to machines?"
In collaboration with Room 608, the production company behind Netflix's "A Trip to Infinity," the documentary is set to be one of the definitive AI documentaries of our time. Despite challenges in the entertainment industry, the project has made significant strides, having completed interviews with experts including Dan Hendrycks, Director of the Center for AI Safety and advisor to Elon Musk's company, xAI; Max Tegmark, a renowned MIT professor and prominent AI researcher; Tim Urban, a popular blogger and writer known for his insightful commentary on scientific and sociological topics; and Jaan Tallinn, a billionaire investor, co-founder of Skype, and a leading figure in the tech industry.
The documentary "Awakening the Machine: The AI Revolution" is actively in production, advancing with ongoing expert interviews. In parallel, the project is exploring opportunities with potential investors and distributors to further support and extend the reach of this impactful project. Potential investors and distributors are invited to learn more.
