AI: PROBABLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT (2026) Tribeca 2026

Geoffrey Hinton -AI is all his fault

The history of Artificial Intelligence and  in particular Geoffrey Hinton and Demis Hassabis.

This is going to be more a pointer than a review. I'm doing that not because the film is bad, but more because after attending the last 17 Tribeca film festivals I feel as though I've seen a variation on the subject every year since I started attending. Of course the truth it's been pretty much for at least the last half decade there has been at least one AI film in the mix. Indeed Hassabis was the subject of his own film in 2024, a bubbly celebration about how AI can do nothing bad called THE THINKING GAME.

But I digress.

AI PROBABLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT is this year's Tribeca ticky box film on the subject and it's perfectly fine if you haven't seen any of the other versions of the story. Taking it on its own terms it's not bad, even if it's pacing makes the film feel over long.

Despite my snarkiness I don't hate the film, as I said it's fine. What I object to is that this is much too similar to the film last year, and the year before. 

Give it a shot.
