Chasing Utopia

Chasing Utopia is a documentary that examines whether artificial intelligence will represent the peak of human achievement or lead to a global collapse. To explore this conflict, Mo Gawdat spent two years visiting cities such as London, New York, Shanghai, and Riyadh. He interviewed several influential figures in the field, including Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Max Tegmark, Geoffrey Hinton, Fei-Fei Li, and Yoshua Bengio.

The film was produced by Atlantic Studios and directed by Lina Zilinskaite and Alex Holmes. For Alex Holmes, this project followed the 2019 film Maiden. The final production has a runtime of 83 minutes.
