Doris Dörrie discusses AI's potential to combat loneliness
German director Doris Dörrie has expressed interest in the potential for artificial intelligence and care robots to alleviate loneliness among the elderly and those suffering from illness. The 71-year-old filmmaker envisions a companion robot capable of discussing politics, reading classic Russian or French literature, and playing the board game Go.
Dörrie’s perspectives are reflected in her new tragicomedy, ‘Frau Winkler verlässt das Haus’, which features a character who finds joy in an AI robot's ability to recite plays. The film is set to premiere in cinemas on October 1. Through her work, Dörrie aims to promote openness regarding aging, sickness, and death, criticizing the modern obsession with longevity and the fear of physical aging.
