AI and the Future of Humanity

CNN National Correspondent Nick Watt presents an enlightening report on both the promises and the dangers of artificial intelligence. 

The AI revolution is already underway and changing many aspects of human life, from creating art to fighting wars to curing disease. But leading experts warn this powerful technology is advancing at an alarming rate, posing serious risks to humanity itself. Watt takes viewers inside the global race to develop this technology and the attempts to contain it.

"AI is already inside and all over our lives," said Watt. "You can't hide. All of us have to face it and figure out how we'll fit into this inevitable future. I was scared. Now at least I know what's coming."

Watt crosses the globe, tracking some of the most stunning and innovative uses of AI, from a next-generation Hollywood film studio to a research team in Switzerland making history by restoring a paralyzed man's ability to walk. Watt also speaks with the experts on the cutting edge of these technologies now working to combat AI's threats to society and democracy and who are calling for urgent government regulation of the tech.
