Teaching in the Age of AI

The AI:Doc Should Be Required Viewing in Schools

The post urges schools to screen the documentary “The AI:Doc,” arguing it offers a shared vocabulary for the rapidly evolving AI debate. The film features leading AI figures—Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei—who present extreme optimistic and catastrophic scenarios. By exposing students, teachers, and parents to these polarized views, the documentary serves as a primer for deeper, nuanced conversations about AI’s societal impact. The author sees the film as a catalyst for assemblies, advisory sessions, and curriculum development beyond the narrow focus on cheating.
