The Future of Work and Death
Documentary88 min
As automation and artificial intelligence advance, this documentary asks what happens when machines take over human labor — and whether technology might also reshape aging and death. Futurist Ray Kurzweil and biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey are among the scientists, engineers, and academics weighing the promises and risks of rapid technological change. Their interviews frame a future where the end of work could look like liberation or widespread unemployment, while breakthroughs in medicine and computing raise questions about how long people might live and how much of human existence technology could alter.
