Chasing Utopia review – renegade Google exec Mo Gawdat searches for ethical AI in alarming insider warning
TL;DR
The documentary 'Chasing Utopia' follows former Google exec Mo Gawdat's campaign for empathy-driven AI, framed by stark warnings about job loss and tech-baron power concentration. The Guardian's review calls the tone alarmed but matched to the scale of the issues. Worth a look for insider takes on the AI debate.
Nauti's Take
Worthwhile addition: Insider takes from ex-tech execs are still rare in the AI debate, and Gawdat brings real depth. Catch: The documentary leans heavily on alarm and leaves little room for counter-arguments or constructive paths.
A useful watch for those interested in AI ethics – less so for anyone hunting for concrete solutions.
