What's Next: The Future with Bill Gates

I don't mind Bill Gates and I think this type of content is interesting. But... you can tell that this is meant to have a fairly political message in it at the same time. And it happens to be released right before an election. You can tell by the people they interview, clips they play and words they use.

I wish they would make unbiased and neutral.

It's hard to make anything nowadays that doesn't have a political message built into it. They are clever in this and try to hide it but it's easy to sniff out.

My review would be higher if this wasn't political and trying to bury a political message inside of it but unfortunately that's the route they took and it ruins the doc for me.

It's a shame self-serving billionaires who compete with Bill Gates businesses and authoritarian populist presidential candidates like Trump have normalized hate against smart people who have proven they can improve the world & want to continue doing it. They want you to hate science that can help you & are jealous that a man finds a way to improve the world and profit on it at the same time which is the best way for things to work in a capitalist world. Trump has at least exposed how huge a percent of people are impressionable suggestible myopic idiots. The irony of it all is Gates will improve the lives of the people who have been disinformed into hating him.

Everything make sense in this series. Elwe just need more billionaire to take example on Bill Gate and contribute more without thinking about profit. All the bad reviews here are made by people who clearly didn't watch the entire series period. If all the ultra rich people in this world would contribute in giving a huge chunk of their wealth to science and technology, they could eradicate poverty, create a better future for everyone, cure disease and as a society we will live longer and better. Money roule this world and if you're ultra rich and you dont use your money to create a better world then you dont deserve that money at all.

All those who put a 1/10 on this series must be among people who believe the immensely stupid conspiracy theories listed in the second episode. If you believe in "microchip 5G coronavirus masterplan by lizards", I suggest you go back to school before watching this series and make stupid comment.

The series explore how the next generation of AI will make a profound change in our society. A lot of speakers from the tech, cinema and others discuss various aspects of this deep and complex subject.

One aspect discuss here in depth is the alarming spread of fake news and how people jump on it with no insight what so ever. And if you don't believe it a huge problem, just read the hate reviews on that very website.

First I have to say IGNORE THE HATERS!!! If you read the reviews so far they are about Gates himself NOT the series. People leaving reviews need to focus on why people read the reviews, and that's to find out if the series is any good or not. I can dislike a person with everything in me. But if they say "putting your hand in the fire will burn you" that doesn't mean they're wrong. I also wouldn't just instantly dismiss them either, as these 'hosts' pretty much are just the talking heads not the researchers, writer's, etc. Still with me? Alright, let's review the series now.

The series itself is thought provoking and at times pretty insightful. That being said, it's nothing special to write home about but isn't terrible either. Honestly, it's a series touching on issues in a way that tries to be as middle of the road as possible. I believe the approach is to try not to alienate any one "side" of things. That being said, this is where it tends to loose out, instead of going all in the topics the series holds a lot back in their attempts to not upset anyone and not be political. While that in and of itself is a good thing in this day in age, it causes the series to not go far enough on the issues it's discussing.

I'd say this is a good series to play in the background while doing something, and a better series to watch as you're settling in for the night. Engaging enough to keep you interested, but also not enough to overstimulate you or really draw your attention from other things.
