history is doing to end soaring emissions. counting the cost on al-jazeera. has in into how with the top stories on al-jazeera china is disappointing its annual gathering of parliament for the 1st time in decades as it struggles to contain the coronavirus site break it was shuttles take place on march 5th brian is in hong kong and says the congress is the most important political event of the calendar. it draws thousands of delegates from across china it's also significantly the moment when china's premier outlines his economic targets for the year ahead and of course this is happening as a time when china's economy is continuing to slow and it's likely to slow even more because of this fire as now i think the decision has been taken not just to in

a sense protect the leadership from this virus but also of course there are more than just $3000.00 delegates you have journalists and staff in total about $8000.00 people gathered in the great hall of the people for this annual session now the n.p.c. is important because it illustrates the sort of legitimacy of the party its powerful symbolism this is when we see all china's leaders on public show well that's not going to happen and we don't know when the m.p.c. will convene visit because of course we still have no idea really when this virus will finally be brought under control on sunday night president xi jinping told the people of china there have been shortcomings by the government in the response to this crisis we're not sure by that whether he was referring to the central government or the provincial government in harm but certainly he stressed that this was a very serious moment for china he said that this was the biggest public health crisis china had confronted since the foundation of the people's republic in 1949 and i

think he was preparing the chinese people for what could be a rocky couple of weeks and even months but he wanted to stress that if that happens if it is going to be a rough time economically the net of the party will be there to help the people meanwhile infections continue to spread across the world's 12 people have died in iran and bahrain iraq afghanistan and coates of all reported cases meanwhile in italy a 5th person has died from the virus. donald trump passed confirms a $3000000000.00 weapons deal with india we'll go ahead to the starts of a 2 day trip he started in good german states which has ties to nearly a 3rd of all indian americans. tomorrow our representatives will sign deals to sell over $3000000000.00 in the absolute finest state of the art military helicopters and other equipage to the indian armed forces. i

believe that the united states should be india's premier defense partner and that's the way it's working now together we will defend our sovereignty security and protect a free and open indo-pacific region for our children and for many many generations to come. libyan prime minister faisal searches at the united nations in geneva to draw attention to the worsening humanitarian situation in libya and the conflict trying so on speaking at a human rights council showed the members pictures of children it recently died in attacks he also called for the if they have launched an offensive on the camp so in april a war criminal as political upheaval in malaysia after the can accept the resignation of prime minister mahathir mohamad and his political party quit the coalition government a lot for those talks by some members of the ruling coalition to exclude from

a new administration the prime minister's chosen successor and by vote i'm worth it to him the prime minister of the city has been in court 3 days after thomas to bomb a field failed to appear see face allegations of murdering is a strange wife the pulitzer barney was shot dead just before his inauguration 2017 to bomb his new wife is already in charged with murder the case has been referred to the constitutional courts to determine whether the prime minister can be prosecuted. off duty police officers in haiti have exchanged gunfire with members of the armed forces in the capital court of prince the confrontation started as law enforcement officers were staging a demonstration it's a man's wages well those are the headlines the news continues on al-jazeera.

right now at this very moment artificial intelligence is trying to figure out exactly who you are. mimics our thoughts and emotions. analyzes ourselves to decode our genetic material. no task is beyond its capabilities ai is even learning to drive our cars for us. ai controls robots that work more efficiently and to do. so where does this leave us in this new world of artificial minds. in the last 10 years we've developed an inseparable bond with our cell phones.

smartphone capabilities are bolstered by artificial intelligence which serves our needs whilst keeping a watchful eye. network operators record our movements to the nearest meter as some applications geotagged users every 60 seconds. surveillance camera. to scrutinise our every move. a known entities siphon our data from public wi-fi networks sensors in the roads we drive on record our journeys. regulates traffic predicts the weather and records pollution levels. our frenzied online activity generates an avalanche of data. each minute we make

3300000 posts on facebook 3800000 searches through google and send 29000000 what's up messages. from these torrents of data are stored in banks of servers all over the world in the era of big data your digital footprint is worth more by the day. in new. in paris 15000 participants spent thousands of euros to attend a trade show on big data. events like these are big business and you don't want to be the one missing out. modern ai systems fed by colossal

datasets are opening doors to lucrative opportunities. machine learning revolutionized development that is machines capable of teaching themselves without human input. over the last 5 years this technology has transformed ai research these algorithms are able to instantly identify objects placed in front of a camera but this ability to recognize as many potential applications. a paris based startup has developed new facial coding technology. 'd this algorithm is capable of reading facial expressions which are so nuanced they may pass unnoticed to the human eye. the end point is commercial reactions are measured against different adverts to see which images are the most effective.

level tashan are those who say that when he killed do you have to sort of get 20 posts on the back to those johnny need to take a. look. that made to still get to set the homicidal circle worst song. possible. you don't get who don't. and then a little movie comes on. the show that i could at least this. on the on for us like to me that it is when i don't that's valid reason soon. but. sit down it was sacred you can only.

this algorithm is not limited to commercial application. can also measure people's reactions to politicians. it was tested in the last french presidential election cycle during a televised debate. over them all the notes. of a good movie of a good movie. cost efficient could you know that if he did a con the deck usenet in a prison with. a depressing whistle negativa. look on the da the supposed. to pieces hit him. but didn't when mass on he kept if he did just sit on the stuff. to make such an algorithm effective it

must be fed millions of datapoints. the gods of the mega data world or the big 4 google amazon facebook and apple. we had a desire to see it in action. here google has built its largest research center dedicated to ai outside of us with 2000 contributors hailing from all over the world. google has always been excited about artificial intelligence and the use of mushing learning has increased rapidly in the recent years and it makes possible what was impossible just a few years ago. machines are learning in a different way from humans so you need to see a lot of examples to understand what they're seeing on a photograph for example if you are teaching at a computer to recognize

a kathryn's image you need to show it's a lot of examples and the system would try to take a guess it was a new pictures and every time it would make a mistake for example. mislabel a dog for a cat it would the just the burma and there's a tiny bit and then after seeing probably a 1000000 off examples of the system food learn to differentiate between cats and dogs as well most people do. when it's my next making the next thing on your calendar is today at 1 pm it's called context. he leads a team developing a next gen voice command assistant a project very much in keeping with the ambitions of big companies. thanks to progress made with image and voice recognition the assistant can answer any questions a user could ask who printed this. we saw it was created by leonardo da vinci.

translate this this might be right check out the translation. how many calories as it hath there are 95 calories in one medium apple. this virtual assistant slips into the heart of your home as a smart speaker. descent gets better the more you use it it both learns from the interactions more personalized to words my needs but also i can teach things to the assistant for example i can just say ok google my favorite team is barcelona. ok i'll remember that you said my favorite team is barcelona and now just this sense remembers to and then from now on i can simply say my team when is my team is

next game or things like that people do not need to learn how to interact with machines they can just say you know you can just say hey google or tax it for me it makes the services and benefits are really to be abal about to all people ok google how's the traffic to my home. and your way home traffic is light as usual is 28 minutes by car ok will remind me to call mom when i get home sure i'll remind you on your phone when you get home when dad works out there really at the human level or that the same way that humans interact between themselves then then these types of technologies is available to everybody. i have an optimistic view on the future and i believe as a tremendous opportunities seen artificial intelligence rest till in the early days of the field but we've seen that it can tackle some of the largest problems in the

world. knowledge he has an ability to find patterns in complex data that humans could never do alone so this has huge implications and the technology has an opportunity to help researchers in different failed to tackle some of the most difficult problems in the fields of medicine transportation astronomy and elsewhere . to transport to the stars the applications for this technology seem limitless. to find more concrete at the patients he had to a so-called smart. on the way we noticed airports increasing reliance on ai systems to manage the flow of passengers. planes themselves will soon integrate systems to monitor weather patterns altitude

and fuel levels in real time to adjust the flight path. managing the daily rhythm of life is a growing problem for urban centers. dublin ireland is proud to declare itself a smart city having but heavily on an investment in ai systems for logistics. the old docklands are now the smart docklands a model for future urban development. in the silicon valley of europe. you just look at the dock runs here you know some people call it the silicon docks and we've got world leading tech companies you know within 15 minute walk you've got google with 6000 employees you've got facebook you've got eric b. and b. all trading x. and value for the city and building great partnerships and relationships on our smart city program as well. as lots of big trends like big data internet of things machine learning artificial intelligence but what you

really need to do is take that data back. you know crace insights from that data in almost real time make decisions based on data and we're seeing it across i suppose mobility and transport across waste across emergency responses and i think you know the true smart city is the city that actually can act on the data make better decisions and create better outcomes at the right time for its citizens. some applications are quaint like this more than that notifies the local services that it needs to be empty for. other uses are aimed at more complex problems like managing the flow of traffic in a town experiencing an economic surge. the council has installed cameras and sensors across a number of key locations. they record the flow of pedestrians bikes. buses and cars.

but how do they manage this huge flow of data. brendan o'brien runs the team responsible for traffic light operations. many towns use a similar system but here adjustments are made in real time based on the flow of traffic every bus is equipped with sensors. every 20 seconds every single pulse reports to us where it is what it's doing what route is it on is it in congestion is it stopped or that will stop. will see the slowdown in both movements and that will actually allow operators here to the fact that those problems which the buses are experiencing but that in turn means that all their traffic is experiencing as well. so what's happened this morning it looks a bit congested there in a few patients yeah the data showing us actually suggested here this morning. as well here so that this should become it if you are here that's any longer secure at the moment is not. our system is self learning south calibrating system most of

the time this is. i'm works away in the background by itself and ultimately the system still requires some human input to manage effectively but there's another great technological leap forward on the horizon a piece of software that will predict problems before they arise. predict what's going to happen next you see all these vehicles coming in you know can we go for the next half an hour and say oh i think here will be congested here will be congestion unless we take some action that's kind of using all that information and using multiple data sources to really find a passion. find a pattern they can then see what to do next the city authorities are sitting on an enormous pile of data but they don't have the means to fully utilize it. they have therefore joined in partnership with i.b.m. which opened a research station just outside the city in 2011. once that investment is

made then you can do things like sensor rising entire road networks and actually collecting that data and then once you have it then you can actually start applying artificial intelligence to that data to make predictions to make suggestions as well. data scientists are the backbone of ai development they are constantly refining in analyzing a huge range of inputs to find hidden correlations amongst data sites. i mean just a little bit they took from various sources. the main challenge is that the data are very heterogeneous. each tells you a small part of the complete picture. it's very hard for us to tell you know what has happened so we may be able to detect that this road is blocked but the precise reason why that road is blocked is often obscure.

often the solution lies in adding a new source of data. i.b.m. has begun integrating posts made on twitter to its algorithms data feed that twitter often allows you to associate geotagged tweets about an event such as there was in a concert and $70000.00 people are leaving this area with the information that this whole area hastie might slow or travel times than usual so this heard of in order to provide the explanations that twitter is very useful. so a lot of artificial intelligence now i think is comes down to making predictions saying this is going to happen and then leaving it to the person to decide what to do about that as we go forward we'll see

a lot more solutions. as opposed to just predictions many developers are hard at work creating programs that leverage predictive technology. so. this 10 is working on an ai assistant for drivers. you have the event detection in the video stream right yes so we have something for juice for the company and what we want to provide here is. a system that gives information that's relevant to you in the context of the strip so the idea is sensually a companion that watches over you like a guardian angel that sees all of your behaviors because this only some advise that's relevant for you. just detect you something. it seems you're going to use it else field is that

correct. yes. you should enter you see through the northeast gate of still or good road is that ok can you explain to me why because the you see the internal gates are closed lol can i suggest the best parking spot to you that would be great yes. the system can into it what the user needs without having to ask a direct question. as they talk coming from the car and from the driver it's like the car has been what trips i've taken in the past where i am i had to know but also a lot of data from the environment i'd like traffic situation weather situation maybe even data from social media all the publicly available data which the camera in front of you so would just come out of would be able to detect certain conditions of the driver and included disk conditions you know what ai modem and expand our

he's communications strategist so as to really state of the driver so if you can detect that somebody has a lot on his or her mind it's that companion may use that information to be more proactive situation. it's really for cost and not distracted. ai wants to be your best friend a friend that reads your emotions and counsels you guides you. and follows you. it seeks omnipotence but whether this will be for better or for worse remains to be seen. head north in search of the cutting edge of digitally enhanced medicine. finland was an early adopter of data driven

health care. ai is becoming a key asset in providing treatment. general hospital the largest to finland in developing an algorithm to efficiently process patients. marcus less can in was an early advocate of such research. his unit deals with premature births that weigh less than one and a half kilos whose lives lie in the balance. of the 13. years. we have collected data for several years x. we over the decade money today the heart rate rate oaxacan said to raise some blood laboratory values we are trying to develop all the gory things that could detect

a different the d c c s. we have so far used sepsis. looking at us the immune systems of premature babies is very weak. they are particularly at risk of contracting septicemia this infection can have serious repercussions on mental development and can lead to cognitive impairment. in 10 percent of cases they can even prove fatal in the beginning to compute the need to know whether the space in her steps is so not so basically telling them that they'll carry these patients had sepsis these patients didn't have a sepsis asking computer to find what differentiates these 2 groups and then the computer's trying to find the rules so the message is in a way learning by itself to detect sepsis. what we're hoping to do with mushing learning to get the tool that would give the same kind of odd that an experienced doctor has that they'll also list experienced

doctors with ok now you should perhaps be worried about this baby and actually in this project we were able to detect sepsis 24 hours before dr had some high suspicious somebody we took blood blood samples that confirmed the diagnosis. this advents detection system allows treatment to begin 24 hours earlier in a situation where time is a yes it's. data accumulated throughout a patient's life time is what forms big data in finland for the last 20 years this information has been stored in a centralized server. think he's general hospital wants to deploy to get the most out of this data and has launched some 30 pilot schemes. we call it all the information from the patients from their electronic health records from their imagine from their laboratory test the amount of data nowadays is so shoots that

there no man can handle that so we need some help for that. artificial in intellect and would be. normal life for not only corey says his but also for the doctor and it would be a good tool for a hospital directors and nursing staff so now it is time to use it. as health care becomes ever more technologically sophisticated the ambitious goal of predictive treatment moves closer to becoming a reality. there's a wave of sentiment around the world people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voices are not heard because they're just not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover big stories and report on the big events are going on but we also tell the

stories of people who generally don't have a voice and then when i was a child my that's never be afraid to put your hand up not a question and i think that's what i observe really does he asked the questions to people who should be accountable and also we get people to give their view of what's going on there is a huge group of people at work behind our screen and the power they had is massive that urge to keep swiping through a twitter feed that's just not the way we all click i agree to the terms and conditions that's just the most of us never even give it a 2nd thought and actually that's designed as well ali re-explore is how designers are manipulating our behavior in the final episode all hail the algorithm on the jersey and. join me mary up front as i put it up for questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking political debate here on al-jazeera.

m how easy to doha with the top stories on al-jazeera china is the spring its annual gathering of parliament for the 1st time in decades as it struggles to contain the coronavirus side break it was settled for march 5th exam brian has more on the annual missing from hong kong. it's also significantly the moment when china's premier outlined his economic targets for the year ahead and of course this is happening as a time when china's economy is continuing to slow and it's likely to slow even more because of this virus now i think the decision has been taken not just to in a sense protect the leadership from this virus but also of course there are more than just 3000 other goods you have journalists and staff in total about $8000.00

people gathered in the great hall of the people for this annual session meanwhile infections continue to spread across the world 12 people have died in iran and behind iraq afghanistan and kuwait have all reported cases meanwhile in italy a 5th person has died from the virus donald trump pass confirms a $3000000000.00 weapons deal with india will go ahead from some a 2 day trip to the country which started in states which has ties to nearly a 3rd of all indian americans libyan prime minister fires also rodgers that the united nations in geneva is to draw attention to the worsening humanitarian situation in libya as the conflict drags on he calls holy for have to launch an offensive on the capital naipaul a war criminal is upheaval in malaysia to the king accepted the prime minister's resignation on monday here mohammed's political party has quit the coalition governments this force talks by some members of the willing coalition which

proposed to exclude the prime minister's chosen successor and rival anwar ibrahim from a new administration and the prime minister of the city has been in court 3 days after thomas to bonnie failed to appear to face allegations of murdering his a strange wife people in a was shot dead just before his inauguration 2017 the case has been referred to the constitutional cords and off duty police officers in haiti have exchanged gunfire with members of the armed forces in the capital port au prince started as law enforcement officers are staging a demonstration since a man's better wages those are the headlines stay with us on al-jazeera part of data lines is up next. a passion for supporting local communities. and pioneering innovative african science and technology projects how his child beautiful how glorious are all of us on this

planet not just africa al-jazeera fall as a leading by a chemist determined to use his scientific knowledge to say africa women make science from the lab to the field on al-jazeera. in the last 10 years we have developed an inseparable bond with our cellphones. smartphone capabilities are bolstered by artificial intelligence which serves our needs whilst keeping a watchful eye. unknown entities siphon our data from public wi-fi networks. our frenzied online activity generates an avalanche of data. these torrents of data are stored in banks of servers all over the world in the era

of big data your digital footprint is worth more by the day. welcome to shen's than 90 percent of consumer electronics sold worldwide are produced in this city. smartphones tablets and video game console z. are all manufactured by the bucket load. all of the us tech giants produce their goods here in this colossal workshop. boutique electronics are symbols and packaged alongside their bargain basement imitators. the city center posts a gigantic electron. expositor which offers such a huge selection of goods that this group of visiting swiss students don't even know where to begin so where to go to prevail you see to go. through.

the free me you can do to proceed to. these students are studying electronics design or project management for them is proving a bigger draw in silicon valley. back in switzerland they worked on developing a number of projects and they worked on adapting them to the realities of the chinese market you know to take an existing. key and put on a. point some p.c. to put it. someplace where it was still pure happy to. know that many books. shall be. here they work in a maker space a start up style digitally focused work space. ai technology is their bread and

butter. this engineer has come from jordan to market his invention a pocket spectrometer. we open the application on the fire. proof song to me. he's real. yeah you should be for the journey to feel. just like one get to the device like this and here are your kids nice some information about tomato so you can see how much garbage brought in fiber inside this tomato and the most important what is the freshness for this so that's why it's very useful for people. you know it's true it's like the same growth and used by china to identify faces by getting one face to face is i own 1000000 or so that's how we use the parenting and i just picked on he says.

in china it's all about economies of scale. with 1400000000 inhabitants over half of which have smartphones china is the home of big data. the whole country is investing in artificial intelligence china is no longer satisfied with imitating its competitors. it is looking to take on the u.s. for 1st place in the race for global technological supremacy. with a balance sheet worth $40000000000.00 the ali baba group is an online retail giant dubbed the chinese. 0. 0. 00 is investing $15000000000.00 in research facilities in china but also in the

u.s. russia and israel. it's very important for the company to you invest and it was all to take on all of. the artificial intelligence you see is going to be difficult for the company not only for about biasing for many many companies. so we invest a lot to help costumers to improve the experience he's. like the look of this dress with one click offers a myriad of similar options it takes mere seconds to review millions of items listed on its website so basically to take a knowledge of hand to recognize walk into picture i know where to productive is we know where to parties and in doing extract features and don't we compare always order provided we have been sent back to seymour sooner talked to our customers.

the chinese are now even more dependent on their smartphones than western countries . a host of vital services are centralized within a few online platforms like the widely popular we chat which boasts 1000000000 monthly users. wish you know was. heartbroken when july so you. should go on the more subtle and. humble that you just thought i should hope you know and you. so you know. some of the ways.

you can see a floor. the way i should. say you do in a genuine. unified. so. sashes i'm somewhat on the leaves i saw you. can michelle for she share with you all what you're doing we are from the america which unites you for. hiding out to do it all the. way through the. consumers can't get enough and show little concern for their own privacy. all the better for ambitious corporations who strive to understand and adapt to consumer behavior. this firm is specialized in processing data from smart phones the numbers are dizzying 731000000 users are scanned every month.

towns are put under the microscope. this is harbin home to 10000000 people. this graphic shows the flow of commuters block by block. but data collected from smart phones can tell us so much more about an individual's behavioral patterns. because there are sensor data. about. what god do not maybe if they are running maybe if they are walking like imo if the location is and. so will make. shopping. in the pa maybe they are relaxed and if it's often. maybe i'm busy so we use data to do some inference based on that they have

a collective. profiling in this way greatly enhances the potential for targeted advertising but it doesn't stop there. fighting i'm a young mom of them bake is. a company in china if they want to work. so they. and the based on what they tell me are collected the. use of come to the area come match of the current us if the 2 groups of people. maybe i would place. the amount of data transmitted by cell phones is. constantly on the rise thanks to an ever increasing number of apps. financial is a subsidiary of retail giant. the company has developed software that assesses

damages after a car accident. the app finds and assesses the damages in the blink of an eye. the new report is sent to your insurer with the click of a button. the app also calculates how the claim will affect your premiums then it selects local garages to carry out the repairs it saves the customer time saving the insurer money since the app can detect inconsistency and flagged potentially fraudulent claims. normally there will be like 10 to 20 percent operational costs the cost of a fraud case so once we solve this problem. because. each year. the algorithms being developed by financial can also offer fast and convenient credit

services. this scooter vendor has just taken out a loan to renovate his store front and purchased mistah. the shame who you chances are that you. aren't how you're going to. turn to sit and talk tonight you could be 5 additional year patch entire day war. now each year and goes oh i thought you balance you sure you're. not going to push you off to did you work with me directly. in a few moments the app evaluates his profile and except his application. there's no word about word or didn't have to call our games and i was the odds on who was on guard and i was a shame that she and i were that she just didn't. i just him to hold while we're doing we're going to her this is going to be working and she rests our day when

she's there with your server yeah i can see him swimming with me through our degrees and this is where. this app is aimed at the millions of chinese who live without a bank account by offering them a chance to borrow on credit. behind this express financial services system is a complex mash of algorithms. it scans all given data on a client to build the predictive model that evaluates the liquidity of any given startup entrepreneur new woman do you hear that you hear for the aga eagleton. truth serum food. and water do you go to. the. i'll. interest you know the holiday season see.

me how do you. know that. john that you go through the u.c.c. how you know you cheated you don't leave that you will. do you. see new philology hole who will move. on to create a pin with heart you cheated on him. these kinds of systems exist also in every day payment apps such as alley pay. these algorithms not only measure your ability to pay back money borrowed but also integrate your consumer habits into their ratings so. how. how we're going to. show. you how to go. where to go is really to want to assume she's your.

opinion when you've assumed. she wants you. to achieve and i'll do you go. so you've got your heart i should. this app allows you to judge others based on their credit score a once private piece of information turned public a new social evaluation tool. many companies are developing such algorithms which assess citizens on a pick criteria a development roundly denounced by this economics professor in beijing. if your got a werry law school let me say your piece i could crude from many services many

internet bijan in this and even in the real life you are being crude from many posts to be to nice opportunities and also even it's hard for you. at daily life because sometimes if some people think you are not sky high ranking system they sink or you are not a good friend also in some dating website they also pay you you'll see them acquitted score. people and a fully software law school we are sinking and not a label you a new field date we see you. finance apps aren't the only ones scanning personal data public life is under constant scrutiny by video surveillance.

china is home to 200000000 security cameras often equipped with facial recognition technology. this intersection in jenn's and is one example of its applications of just your. daily. fix. i know i'm going to be. something he's not going. to go well no more luck to me. for you know going to songs that i mean you stand for your personal to see just as you're just little invested in it you know you don't us. this installation is a tool for social control. as soon as a pedestrian crosses on a red light the camera picks up their image and searches the state's databases for an id match. in a matter of seconds the name and photo of the offender is displayed for all to see

on a giant screen. facial recognition technology relies on a mass of data collected by the authorities on each citizen. the transition to the digital age has been a goldmine for developing algorithms that work alongside smart cameras as the state partners with the private sector. the chinese government holds a lot of big data faces for example or the person of the us. so they would love to be involved into. the development of ai by offering those big pita to work with staffs like us. so this is a system that we developed for sports for the police department we have

a camera in the glass to fund people in the crawl out so if you are in the database for example your budget ifs or seeing people missing children if you show up. the machine will shake remind you that you'll follow the people in the database. all. cameras can also be taught to analyze a person's movement patterns allowing them to identify suspicious body language. believe it or. through the. all the public area system or understand some certain patterns for example people start to run or people start to fight and the cameral. can work

together the vision and the sound to work if the system figure out to detect any special for example got a shot or people yelling for help then the system will automatically turn the camera into the direction of the sun so that the system the world know what is the accident or. any. children with a cars made on the whole city or the system would become like a game in the game whatever you do you are recorded and the system understands where you are doing so in the future of the city understand the people's behavior even the crime. its will be stopped in the real time rather than afterwards.

total digital surveillance is no longer a hypothetical relegated to the pages of science fiction thrillers. the chinese government has announced the implementation of a so-called social credit for 2020 each and every citizen will receive a score based on data derived from their behavior and habits to find out more we spoke to a rare dissenting voice. this renowned historian resigned 20 years ago from the social sciences academy. you know of that i. go in the show hall. ralph hall was in the. hall they. would say. well if i. did me any good you know yes ok polly and i

could. be. just as soon as i show because i had to go hard i was so sure are you to know they don't trot time i assure you know what missions that are called the irish very. hard that you can file quite a show called the shanty you know and have a one time korea tortious how tall. the ship itself. social credit will integrate your online behavior and social media presence. if your friends the sites you visit or the content you share are deemed non-conformist your score will decrease allow your score to fall too low and you could be denied rental accommodation a bank loan or a job interview even long distance travel will be curtailed.
