How AI is changing our relationship to work | DW Documentary
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?
