Animated videos and explainers about what a great AI future could look like in practice.
Dystopian AI futures dominate our cultural imagination. But if we want a good future, we need positive visions to build toward. So what would a normal day look like in 2035, if AI development went well?
This short film brings to life a world radically transformed by AI for the better, with powerful systems built to extend human judgment, not replace it. It follows a day in the life of an AI auditor through democratic oversight work, digital health tools, and AI that stays a bounded tool.
The film is based on our Tool AI scenario, developed with researchers from Anthropic, DeepMind, the Future of Life Institute, and Metaculus, among others.
