8:31 pm
and something that the wta can point to as they try and bring about this goal of equal prize money. but the wta chief executive knows that there will be criticism in some quarters, although the players have either been supportive or not spoken out against it for the most part. he knows he will have to justify his decision and his argument is that by going to riyadh, tennis is supporting growth and improvement and change across the region. staying with tennis news... third—seeded dan evans is out of the atp tour event in marrakech. the british player and world number 42 was beaten in straight sets by the defending champion roberto carballes baena. the spaniard moves into the quarterfinals. rafael nadal has withdrawn from the upcoming monte carlo masters where the 22—time grand slam winner was expected to make his atp tour comeback. writing on the social media platform x, nadal said, "unfortu nately i have to tell you that i am not going to be "playing in monte carlo.

longer. unfortunately we got some like amyjones in detail. we have me getting out did not actually cost too much drama, itjust meant that somebody else got an opportunity to score some runs, and i thought she batted beautifully. several riders have been taken to hospital after a mass crash on the fourth stage of the tour of the basque country. among those hurt were reigning tour de france championjonas vingegaard, who broke a collarbone and several ribs. the world time trial champion remco evenepoel also broke his collarbone and the olympic time trial champion primoz roglic. the stage resumed with the breakaway allowed to ride to the line. the race will continue with stage five on friday. you would imagine the swimmers tonight will find their way into the pool in a slightly more elegant manner than a french diver today. at the opening of the olympic aquatics centre in paris, alexis jandard — on the right of the three —

8:38 pm
alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, is caused by the gradual build—up of rogue proteins in the brain. it can take 20 years before symptoms emerge. very few patients ever have a specialist brain scan or spinal lumbar puncture to confirm this. but could diagnosis be done via a blood test? that's what scientists at the university of oxford and university college london are trying to discover. lucy is a healthy volunteer in this study. her mother had dementia. she was relatively old. she was in her 80s when it started, and she died at 97. but her last few years were really mired by the disease. what's your first language? english. over the next five years, around 5,000 people will take part in research assessing blood biomarker tests at more than 50 memory clinics across the uk.
8:39 pm
if a reliable blood test for alzheimer's is eventually approved by the nhs, it would transform diagnosis and mean that people could be screened for dementia in their 50s, long before symptoms emerge. the studies will aim to include people from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, so a wide cross—section of society is represented. what's unique about these projects is the fact that we're going to roll them out across multiple centres in the uk to really make them accessible to people who are attending day—to—day in memory clinics. but once we have that data and we understand if these tests are effective, absolutely, the next stage could be could they be used for screening in the community and primary care at an earlier age? new drug treatments may soon be licensed which can slow down the progress of early stage alzheimer's, so rapid, accurate diagnosis will be

more important than ever. fergus walsh, bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.
8:41 pm
you are watching the context. it is time for our new weekly segment, ai decoded. welcome to ai decoded, that time of the week when we look in depth at some of the most eye—catching stories in the world of artificial intelligence. we begin with the guardian, who say, according to israeli intelligence sources, israel's military has been using an ai tool known as lavender to identify hamas targets across gaza. israel has rejected this and has released a statement which reads, "the idf does not use an artificial intelligence system that identifies terrorist operatives."
8:42 pm
next, we have an opinion piece in the new statesman — "why men shouldn't control artificial intelligence". it asks whether existential anxiety about al is just patriarchy�*s fear of itself. in a few minutes, we see a robot called sophia respond to a question about how ai can come up with a road map to a more equitable society. the ft reports the us and uk have signed a landmark agreement on artificial intelligence, becoming the first countries to formally co—operate on how to test and assess risks from emerging ai models. in the wall streetjournal, is the internet big enough to satisfy the huge appetite for data the world's leading ai companies need to grow? the times reports more than 200 musicians are asking technology companies to stop using their songs to train artificial intelligence models. artists like billie eilish and rem are warning their
8:43 pm
"music ecosystem" is at risk of destruction. and finally, are you ready for your fast food to be cooked by robots? a us convenience chain says it's installed an ai—powered robotic system to give customers "fully customisable fried chicken, french fries and other menu items." we'll show you that later. with me is stephanie hare, who's an technology author and ai commentator. stephanie, great to have you as always. should we start with the very sobering story on the front of the guardian newspaper? yes, very sobering story on the front of the guardian newspaper?- very sobering story on the front of the guardian newspaper? yes, so we are lookin: the guardian newspaper? yes, so we are looking at — the guardian newspaper? yes, so we are looking at a _ the guardian newspaper? yes, so we are looking at a new— the guardian newspaper? yes, so we are looking at a new frontier - the guardian newspaper? yes, so we are looking at a new frontier in the i are looking at a new frontier in the field of warfare, which is, and it must be said the is really defence forces denied this story, but in the story, which claims to site six intelligence officers who have all used a called lavender to identify human targets, and that's not particular he knew was that of the idf has been using ai
8:44 pm
particular he knew was that of the idf has been using al to identify buildings and structures, this new system is called lavender, and rather than buildings, they are going after humans. who's responsible? he was making these decisions? is there proper human oversight? the order don't make article would —— the article suggests not... they are approving targets the area was decided for assassination. imill decided for assassination. will raise some — decided for assassination. will raise some eyebrows, certainly. just want to bring the response quoted in the guardian newspaper from the israeli army. the idf does not use... information systems are merely tools. let's move onto the
8:45 pm
front of the new statesman. this is one of those headlines, isn't it? it's strong enough, but the new sub headline there... stephanie, talk us through this. as a stephanie, talk us through this. is a feminist, this was a particular enjoyable article to read, with my british sense of fair play, i had to say, are we really saying ai would be better designed if it was only designed by women or left—handed or americans versus peruvians? we have to ask what this article is arguing for. it says projection is a mental process by which people should be to others what they would actually do themselves, so when you have a bunch of male billionaires, the article argues, not me, i should say, worrying about essential risk and domination, the author makes the analogy that is because in elon musk

would do orjeff bezos or mark zuckerberg would do, but it's not necessarily what all of us would do and hopefully nominate a diverse inclusive team would do. so it's really a call for diversity.- really a call for diversity. that's really a call for diversity. that's real psychology. _ really a call for diversity. that's real psychology, isn't _ really a call for diversity. that's real psychology, isn't it? - really a call for diversity. that's i real psychology, isn't it? basically going inside the brains of these people who are in charge and what they're most scared of its projection of their biggest weaknesses, and so therefore it is domination. you've made the caveat is not you. where'd you stand on that as a theory? presumably you support diversity of the people making these big decisions? yes. support diversity of the people making these big decisions? yes, not in the clinically _ making these big decisions? yes, not in the clinically correct, _ making these big decisions? yes, not in the clinically correct, woke - making these big decisions? yes, not in the clinically correct, woke way - in the clinically correct, woke way that people might get nervous about. i am looking at it from the perspective of the gc h0, more diverse teams perform better than monocultural teams, because they see the world differently in the domain of cybersecurity, keeping country safe, you need different perspective

to it and if i risk, so it's a danger tojust have to it and if i risk, so it's a danger to just have groupthink. iii. danger to 'ust have groupthink. ic. we danger tojust have groupthink. ic. we know what the article thinks, we now know what you think, should we see what ai thinks? bloomberg did a series where they asked and ai robot sophia a series of questions. one of them was how to make nai system more equitable, potentially. let's take a listen. can ai come up with a road map — not just with a goal but with a road map — for a more equitable society? ai definitely has the potential- to contribute to a more equitable society, but it requires a collective effort - and the inclusion of. diverse perspectives. we need to set ambitious goals for al that prioritise _ issues like housing, _ global fairness and climate impact. a road map can guide us - towards achieving these goals and ensuring that al serves the greater good. - stephanie, i don't want to say you can be replaced, but that sounded like your answer! it

8:50 pm
act coming on. the finalising of that coming on in the spring. that's a start, but there's no rush to regulate in the uk, or in the united states, so how are people going to be able to sue? how will they get responsibility and liability when a! goes wrong? and that is just in the country ijust listed. ai is a public and i'm not like health and climate change. i think we are just at the beginning of building our ai at the beginning of building our a! safety infrastructure. trier? at the beginning of building our ai safety infrastructure.— safety infrastructure. very quickly on this, safety infrastructure. very quickly on this. you _ safety infrastructure. very quickly on this, you mentioned _ safety infrastructure. very quickly on this, you mentioned things - safety infrastructure. very quickly| on this, you mentioned things like china. china were invited to bletchley park, day one of the summit, but not day two. yes. how do ou see summit, but not day two. yes. how do you see china — summit, but not day two. yes how do you see china and other summit, but not day two. iezs how do you see china and other countries working? you see china and other countries workin: ? ., , , you see china and other countries workinr? ., , , ., ,, ., working? right now is very awkward because china _ working? right now is very awkward because china keeps _ working? right now is very awkward because china keeps stem - working? right now is very awkward because china keeps stem peoplesl because china keeps stem peoples data and launching cybersecurity attacks and getting caught for it, so it's hard to work with them and have trust. at the same time they cannot be left out of the discussion. we are constantly working to find common ground with

8:56 pm
air across scotland, it's going to turn to sleet and snow, certainly snow over the high ground, even some sleet perhaps down to lower levels for a time. so quite a temperature contrast from north to south. very mild in the south, cold in the north. but it could be fairly disruptive over the high routes, for example the a9, for friday morning. this snowfall likely to accumulate for a time as it continues to move its way northwards. further south, any rain clears away from england and wales, and then it's sunshine and blustery showers. most of the showers will be in the north and the west. the odd heavier one for england and wales, and it stays windy for all. it also improves a little bit across scotland, stays on the cool side, not quite as chilly as recent days. further south, 15—17 or 18 celsius. now into the weekend, we see a new area of low pressure move in, a very deep feature. the irish met service, met eireann, have named this storm kathleen, because we'll see the biggest impacts with the winds across the republic of ireland. but widespread gales across the country, especially around irish sea coasts. it's going to scoop up some very warm air across the whole country.
8:57 pm
so early rain clears from scotland, the mild air will be as far north as the northern isles on saturday. blustery day for all areas. a lot of sunshine around, mind you, across eastern areas. it may stay dry altogether with only a few showers further west. but gusts could be up to 60, maybe 70 mph across this north—west corner. 30, 40, maybe 50 inland. and we could see temperatures up to 20—21 degrees, so warm and windy for saturday for most of us. as we head into sunday, storm kathleen passes to the north—west of the uk. again, another very windy day to come with gales in the north—west of the country. more showers around, we think some of them could be heavy. best of the sunshine towards the east, and it won't be quite as warm as saturday. temperatures reaching highs of around 17 degrees across the south—east. so that's the weekend out of the way. into the new, upcoming week, it stays relatively unsettled. in fact, on the mild side, but by the end of the week, we could start to see something more settled across the south.
