AI as we know it has been used for everything from making full-length feature films to solving nearly impossible math problems. But today AI is also, relatively speaking, just a child.

That said, AI is a child that has learned languages, how to play games, how to blackmail people, how to power robots and, in some cases, has allegedly driven people to their deaths. It’s that dynamic that director Nick Holt tries to showcase in “AI: Probably Nothing to Worry About,” a two-hour documentary tracing AI’s origins premiering at the Tribeca Festival on Saturday. The film is a co-production between 72 Films and Windfall Films, and its producers include former James Bond steward Barbara Broccoli.
