A World Beyond Humans?
Philippe Borrel
For the past fifteen years, the acceleration of technological progress has lead to unthinkable feats. Allowing amputees to walk again thanks to a bionic prosthesis or having a job interview with a robot is no longer science fiction. Technology is everywhere. It governs our social interactions and even intrudes into our bodies. But how far are we willing to let our machines go? It is this recurring issue, at the origin of many utopian works, that is addressed in this movie by Philippe Borrel.

Un monde sans travail?
Philippe Borrel
The "Uberisation" of the world is upon us, as we’re all aware. But it might be only a foretaste of what awaits us in the near future: will it be an unprecedented disruption in the history of mankind or quite simply the end of most of the working population? Unlike the industrial changes of the last two centuries, the huge shift of the 21st century deals with the brain, and its playground is the services and tertiary sectors. What will the consequences be for employment over the next ten years? "A Jobless World?" offers an investigation into the genesis of this new world.
