How our relationship to work is changing |

Albert — Thu, 01 May 2025 16:01:23 +0000

Many jobs will disappear in the coming decades as a result of AI and automation. This could require a fundamental change in the human relationship to work.

In South Korea, many people work fourteen hours or more a day. The immense pressure to perform has an impact on family life and mental health. The country has the highest suicide rate in the world and stress-related cancers are common.

While government measures are intended to encourage South Koreans to reduce their working hours, many inhabitants of Kuwait must get through working day with the help of movies and books. The wealthy oil nation guarantees its inhabitants the right to a job – but there’s nowhere near enough work for everyone.

According to estimates, Artificial Intelligence and automation will replace a large proportion of the global workforce in the coming decades. So, it’s time to look for concepts for a post-work era. Based on interviews with people in Kuwait, Italy, the USA and South Korea, the film examines the human relationship to work and explores the question: What will we do, when we no longer have to work?

AI supremacy: The artificial intelligence battle between China, USA and Europe |

Albert — Sat, 16 Mar 2024 17:00:27 +0000

The race for supremacy in the age of artificial intelligence has begun. China, the USA and Europe are vying for the top spot. So are individual tech companies and start-ups. Who will determine which technologies will shape the future of humanity?

The documentary follows key figures from the tech industry, science and politics who are working on artificial intelligence around the globe. They are tasked with making far-reaching decisions within a very short space of time. How can the technology’s potential be harnessed, while preventing a science fiction dystopia? The potential benefits of the currently emerging super-infrastructure are as limitless as its existential dangers. The latter include disinformation and election manipulation, as well as new forms of warfare and surveillance.

The film focuses on three entrepreneurs whose start-ups are among the top players in the field of generative AI: Jonas Andrulis from Aleph Alpha (Germany), Thomas Wolf from the open-source platform Hugging Face (France) and Han Xiao from Jina.ai (China). Director Dominik Bretsch follows the three AI pioneers over the course of a year, from the spring of 2023, when the technology first became a mass phenomenon, to the turbulence surrounding OpenAI.

For the three of them, it’s all about capital, influence and economic survival in a fast-paced and mercilessly competitive world that’s changing more rapidly than any other. China has set itself the goal of dominating the technology worldwide. The USA wants to prevent exactly that. And Europe – caught between the two competing superpowers – must find its own way: those who lose out now won’t get a second chance. The film provides insights behind the scenes in the tech world and introduces the people behind the technological revolution.

Spies, informants and new enemies – Today’s intelligence agencies |

Albert — Sun, 08 May 2022 16:00:24 +0000

Intelligence agencies are influencing governments and spying on countries with no regard for the law. And they are able to remain nearly invisible, in the process. Are they the new superpowers?

The last time intelligence agencies commanded as much power as they do today was during the Cold War. Technological innovations mean that more sophisticated warfare is now a reality. It is not just about Russia and the USA anymore. We may be entering a new era of unrest.

The U.S. has lost more spies and informants since 2010 than at any other time since the Cold War. Leaders of German intelligence agencies also acknowledge that they have once again fallen upon tough times. Money, data and access are proving to be major factors in determining who actually wields power. The 2016 U.S. election made this clear: U.S. intelligence agencies are certain that Russian intelligence helped elect Donald Trump.

But the U.S. has lost old spheres of influence and allies are increasingly pursuing their own agendas. Can President Biden make his country a force for order in the world, again? And what does that mean for political hot spots and potential conflicts with China, Iran, and Russia? And for allies like Saudi Arabia and Turkey? Will Western intelligence agencies regain the power they once exerted? Wars fought with drone and hacker attacks, increasingly delegated power, and surveillance could push these conflicts to their tipping point.
