In 2023 the best AI scientists in the world warned humanity of extinction from advanced AI. They believe there’s a 1-in-6 chance of future AI systems ending all life on the planet – and it might happen before 2030!

And yet, the issue is either dismissed because it sounds too much like sci-fi – or willfully neglected for the chance to beat other companies and countries in the race for global economic and military dominance.

An Inconvenient Doom explains the problem of uncontrollable superintelligent AI, explores the global tech race and portraits the activists and scientists that try to save the world before it is too late.

Production

„An Inconvenient Doom“ is produced by Look Up Films and aims for maximum impact. Therefore the project aims to provide a proper explanation in laymen’s terms why this is not sci-fi, raise awareness and start a global discussion about AI safety.

The project was been accepted to the Documentary Campus Masterschool 2024 incubator program where it received coaching and mentoring by international experts with regards to impact campaigning, audience design, festival strategy and many more topics that will help it maximise its impact on the discussion.
