AI is everywhere. It's in our jobs, our homes, our love lives, and even our children's toys. With new headlines hitting every day about new advancements and backlash, the discourse on artificial intelligence can feel overwhelming, or even impossible to parse alone. But you don't have to.

While the critically heralded documentary opens in theaters on March 27, Mashable readers in Los Angeles and New York City can see it early at no cost on March 25.

Far from a stern lecture about artificial intelligence, The AI Doc springs from a profoundly personal space. Filmmaker Daniel Roher was on the verge of becoming a father for the first time when he became fixated on what the rise of AI could mean for his child's future. So, he asked.

With producer Daniel Kwan and co-director Charlie Tyrell, Roher interviewed OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind CEO and co-founder Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei, along with scads of experts and engineers to explore both sides of the AI debate. Will AI be the end of humanity as we know it? And if so, will that be in a good way or a bad way?!

The AI Doc will empower you with the knowledge to join the conversation, including tools found at their Get Involved website.

But first, you might want to see the movie. So, how can you see it as soon as possible?
