It may be that the native format for that is mp4 and unless you install some additional stuff from rpmfusion (or use the Google provided Google Chrome browser), you might not be able to play it.  If you have a standalone video player that will play .mp4 files, you get install youtube-dl and fetch the file like so:

youtube-dl -f hls-1260 --hls-prefer-native https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/in-the-age-of-ai/ -o PBS_Frontline-The_Age_of_AI.mp4

The following command will list what formats / qualities they offer:

youtube-dl -F https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/in-the-age-of-ai/

...and they only offer stuff in .mp4 format.

TYL,
