The following is a synoposis taken from the Rotman advertisement of this event:

Follow director Adam Bhala Lough as he sets out to better understand the technology and people at the center of the AI boom. His quest sends him on a path towards the father of AI, OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman. When he isn’t able to sit down with Altman himself, Adam travels to India to create an AI version of him to interview instead.

Sam Bot is a new kind of documentary subject and collaborator, who challenges Adam in surprising and hilarious ways. Together, Adam and Sam Bot explore what it means to be alive, create art, and understand each other in an increasingly artificial world.

Personal Commentary:
As I watched this documentary film I determined that the possibilities of AI are immense with mostly good outcomes as discussed in the Q&A follow-up session.
