Netflix Streams The AI Doc as Debate Widens Over AI Risk, Optimism and Accountability

The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist is now streaming on Netflix, bringing a theatrical AI documentary into a broader at-home audience at a moment when public debate over the technology is still moving faster than most explainers can keep up. The 2026 documentary follows co-director Daniel Roher, presented as an expectant father trying to understand how artificial intelligence could affect his child’s life and humanity’s future, and pairs that personal frame with interviews across the AI industry and its critics.
