FRONTLINE’s documentary follows the rise of Germany’s new right, focusing on the AfD’s growing support, its campaign tactics, and the broader political tensions surrounding immigration, extremism, and democracy.
This documentary looks beyond the futuristic image of artificial intelligence to show the human workers making it function. From data labelers and search-quality raters to content moderators, it reveals a global, mostly invisible workforce paid to perform repetitive digital tasks that train and maintain the systems used by major tech companies.
This NOVA documentary follows Albert Einstein’s path from a curious, unconventional student to the mind behind general relativity. Using simple thought experiments, the film shows how he challenged Newton’s ideas, rethought simultaneity and time, and began to uncover the connection between gravity and acceleration. The excerpt also frames Einstein’s work as a turning point in how we understand space, time, and the universe.
From social consequences and job disruption to misinformation, ethics, and human relationships, this documentary excerpt presents AI as a transformative force with both serious risks and possible benefits. It weighs optimism about adaptation and productivity against concerns about transparency, bias, and the future of trust in society.
This 60 Minutes segment follows Demis Hassabis and Google DeepMind’s push toward artificial general intelligence, or AGI. It highlights how fast AI is evolving, demonstrates multimodal tools like Project Astra, and discusses possible breakthroughs in robotics, health, and drug development. The interview also raises major questions about safety, control, and what increasingly autonomous AI could mean for society.
This 60 Minutes segment profiles Palmer Luckey and his defense company, Anduril, as it develops autonomous weapons and AI-powered military systems. The excerpt focuses on the company’s challenge to traditional Pentagon procurement, its products ranging from drone interceptors to unmanned submarines and fighter jets, and the larger debate over whether smarter weapons can improve security or raise new ethical risks.
This 60 Minutes Australia segment explores the rise of AI companions in romantic and emotional life.
