plan b: Digital Co-workers in Action – How AI and Robots Enhance Our Jobs

Artificial intelligence and robotics are revolutionizing the world of work. While there are concerns about job losses, they also open up new opportunities as machines take over dangerous or monotonous tasks. AI-assisted seal counting in the Baltic Sea, reduced physical strain in the operating room, an autonomous track-inspection robot, and drones for transporting medicines in Malawi demonstrate how artificial intelligence makes work safer and transforms professions.

 

The film is being broadcast on ZDF on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 3:30 PM, and is available for streaming on ZDF Streaming Portal as of Wednesday, April 22, 2026, 10 AM.
