Netflix launches fast-turnaround Documentary series on AI and Prediction markets

Netflix has introduced a new product line called Instadocs, which features fast-turnaround documentaries designed to cover current events rather than historical subjects. The initial releases include The Prediction Games, which aired at the end of July, and AI Gone Wild, released on October 12.

The Prediction Games examines the rise of prediction platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, while AI Gone Wild focuses on rogue agents from OpenAI and Hugging Face. Both films are approximately thirty minutes long and have been described by early viewers as informative and timely.
