12 Endings: How the Age of AI Could Really End

What happens after humanity builds something smarter than itself? Physicist Max Tegmark mapped twelve possible aftermaths in his book "Life 3.0": from libertarian paradise and benevolent dictators to zoos, successors, surveillance states and self-destruction. This film walks through all twelve, with updated context on today's AI race, the alignment problem and what we can still influence.
