How AI is changing our 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?

The dangers of AI in the porn industry |

Millions of women are victims of fake sexual content on the internet, created with AI. Deepfakes can look deceptively real, but the images, audio, or video recordings are manipulated. When Kate Isaacs clicks on the video, she is thoroughly confused: She and a stranger are having sex. Her first thoughts are: "Who’s that man? Who’s recording this?” And then she realizes that the video is on the internet. After the initial shock, the reality hits her: This is a deepfake, and she is a victim of image-based sexual violence.

New AI may threaten 'safe' office jobs, say researchers | BBC News

Humans already work alongside robots in industries such as manufacturing. Now, for knowledge workers, the threat of AI (artificial intelligence) replacement is coming faster than they imagined. In early 2023, OpenAI's ChatGPT ushered in a new era – one in which AI went from a pipe dream to a very real, contentious issue for workers. The stakes are high: an April report from Goldman Sachs estimates ChatGPT, and other similar generative AI tools, could increase global GDP by as much as 7%, while replacing 300 million full time workers.

Artificial Intelligence: The World According to AI |Targeted by Algorithm (Ep1)| The Big Picture

Artificial intelligence is already here. There's a lot of debate and hype about AI, and it's tended to focus on the extreme possibilities of a technology still in its infancy. From self-aware computers and killer robots taking over the world, to a fully-automated world where humans are made redundant by machines, the brave new world of Artificial Intelligence is prophesied by some to be a doomed, scary place, no place for people. For others, AI is ushering in great technological advances for humanity, helping the world communicate, manufacture, trade and innovate faster, longer, better.

Will AI take over the world?

From offices to living rooms, devices with human-like characteristics are creeping into our everyday lives.

Many of us interact every day with Siri, Apple's voice-activated digital personal assistant.

It can find information, give directions, send messages and is just one example of how artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a bigger part of everyday life.

Machines are getting smarter, but experts are divided as to when AI will move on from basic tasks to the scary stuff of science fiction, if it ever will.

But some risks are more immediate as technology increasingly threatens to replace workers in some sectors.

This 19-year-old can keep astronauts safe from space junk

When 15-year-old Amber Yang first heard about space trash it gave her nightmares. How could such an imminent threat to space exploration be left on the back burner? After seeing videos with astronaut Scott Kelly, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Within a few years she consumed all the media she could on space debris, taught herself to code, and learned the ins and outs of astrophysics. By 18 she had developed an AI-based space debris tracking program that she claims is one of the most accurate in the world.
