CATTCCH H -UPUTPVN—OIWN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

Will A Robot Steal My Job? RTE Player, until December 13 This treads a fine line between fascinating and terrifying. As part of RTE’s Science Week line-up, Anne-Marie Tomchak, UK editor of digital publication Mashable, digs deep into the world of Artificial Intelligence, moving beyond the obvious — self-driving cars, drone cameras — to some of the many surprising advancements in intellectual and creative pursuits.

There’s a stand-up comedy routine, conducted between a ‘real’ comedian and an AI improviser (who does all right actually), with Neil Delamere as critic, and sports writers pitted against robo-journos in the bid to describe a football match.

Tomchak has her portrait done by mechanical arms that render an appealing likeness in scribbly biro, like a temperature chart turned into art, and a variety of tech gurus and futurologists counter the excitement of what is now possible, with gloomy warnings of mass unemployment.

They suggest that humans badly need to find their USP, although it is becoming increasingly difficult to see what this might be.

Acquitted Channel4.com, series 1&2 We have learned to expect a lot from Scandi drama — tightly-written narratives, depth of characterisation, beautiful camerawork, and locations that reflect and enhance the storyline; Acquitted doesn’t disappoint on any level.

Nicolai Cleve Broch (left) plays Aksel Nilsen, a successful Norwegian businessman who lives the ex-pat life in Kuala Lumpur with a wife and teenage son, until he is called home to his childhood village of Lifjord in order to save the local energy company, by the father of his ex-girlfriend, Karine — of whose murder Aksel was acquitted 20 years previously.

So far, so complicated. Add in the fact that the energy company, Solar Tech, is headed by Eva, Karine’s mother, who still believes Aksel is guilty of killing her daughter, and the elements are in place for a drama that skilfully blends family, crime, business and community.
