The 3 Best AI Documentaries On Netflix This February

With the rise of the use of artificial intelligence (AI), discussions surrounding the ethical considerations and potential impacts, both good and bad, of the technology have begun to surface. These three documentaries about AI on Netflix explore these ethical questions about the use of AI further.

Here are the three best artificial intelligence documentaries on Netflix this February.

1. The Social Dilemma 

The Social Dilemma is a documentary exploring the negative, even dangerous, impact of social media. The doc features various tech experts including those from Meta, Google, Asana, Apple, and more.

2. Coded Bias

Coded Bias is about the investigation into biases in algorithms after M.I.T. Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini uncovered issues with facial recognition technology. Buolamwini discovered that facial recognition did not register dark-skinned faces accurately. Not only that, it doesn’t classify women’s faces either. This led the researcher to look into widespread bias in algorithms and advocate for the first-ever legislation to fight against bias in algorithms.

3. Unknown: Killer Robots

Unknown: Killer Robots is a chilling watch. The documentary is about the application of AI in warfare and the dangers of doing so. As one review from The Guardian put it: “The future of AI will fill you with unholy terror.”
