Topics covered range from military drones to AI-powered "fake news" feeds.[1] At one point while being interviewed, Musk warns that any human dictator will eventually die, but that a digital superintelligence could someday become an "immortal dictator from which we can never escape".[4][5][6] Musk also sponsored free streaming of the film on Vimeo during the weekend of April 7, 2018.[7][8] The film was featured at the 2018 Napa Film Festival.[9]

The documentary is dedicated to Stephen Hawking, who warned that humanity may be jeopardized by its pursuit of a superintelligent artificial intelligence.
