The Art of Possible is a documentary tracing the legacy of Dr. Marian Croak, a pioneer whose career was shaped by family, colleagues, mentors, and collaborators. These formative relationships and moments drove her innovation forward, establishing Dr. Croak as the crucial link between foundational technology and the future of responsible AI. She pioneered Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)—the technology powering every internet call today—holds over 200 patents, and invented critical applications like text-to-donate technology. Now, as VP of Responsible AI at Google, she continues to ensure that advanced research is built on ethical foundations for the benefit of humanity. Join us as we celebrate Dr. Croak.
