The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist premieres on Netflix on September 15, 2026. The documentary follows an expectant father investigating artificial intelligence by speaking with technology executives and experts about the future his child may inherit.
Netflix frames the film as a personal investigation rather than a technical product guide. Its central question is how AI may affect one family and the wider future, which gives the documentary a clear human perspective.
Release date and focus
- Netflix release date: September 15, 2026.
- Format: documentary film.
- Subject: AI’s effect on families, work, and humanity’s future.
The title signals a discussion about both fear and optimism, but Netflix has not published a complete list of interviewees or a detailed chapter outline. Readers should therefore treat claims about specific companies or predictions as part of the film’s investigation rather than established forecasts.
