politician goes on a journey to meet leading left wing figures to understand why that politics have lost ground some dramatically. in latin america a giant in time while on al-jazeera. in doha the top stories on al-jazeera the russian opposition politician alexina valmy is unconscious in a siberian hospital with suspected poisoning of on the was returning to mosco when he fell ill during the flies the plane made an emergency landing in. his spokeswoman says he's now in intensive care and connected to a ventilator she believes poison was mixed into his tea novell me is a story which critic of president vladimir putin last year he was taken to hospital
9:01 am
off to another alleged poisoning while he was serving a jail sentence for encouraging people to take part in a pro democracy protest. former u.s. president barack obama has delivered a scathing attack on his successor on day 3 of the democratic national convention obama said donald trump has shown no interest in putting in the work and has sought only to help himself and his friends obama urged americans to vote for joe biden in the presidential election saying he has the ability to lead the country out of dark times for close to 4 years now he has shown no interest in putting in the work no interest in finding common ground no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends no interest in treating the presidency is anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the
9:02 am
attention he craves alan fischer has more from washington. there is a convention if you want unwritten that former presidents don't attack incumbents in the white house but barack obama threw that convention out of the window with what was a very strongly worded attack on don't trump his policies and his threat as barack obama sees it to democracy you know he was speaking at the museum of the american revolution in philadelphia that set the tone he suggested that donald trump was a threat to that moment that movement that created the republic of the united states he was suggesting that donald trump would do anything to tear down with democracy if that's what winning required it was a remarkable speech and it was a call for some considerable time it also provoked donald trump no he's avoided any
9:03 am
temptation to live tweet during the democratic national convention on the 1st 2 nights but as barack obama was speaking he was tweeting out and he was doing so in all caps criticizing his predecessor claiming that he spied in his campaign a conspiracy theory that has been debunked but interestingly enough as barack obama was seeing the donald trump doesn't listen to the evidence doesn't listen to science and likes to trade in conspiracy theories that was the moment the donald trump chose to tweet that out but it is remarkable even though there was no crowd there it is still one of those moments that will resonate not just for the next few days but through the years and when people look back at conventions in years to come this will be one of those moments. you know as president donald trump is to demand that all united nations sanctions be reimposed against iran follows america's defeat on plans to extend an arms embargo against tehran trump says sex
9:04 am
actually of state might pompei i will meet the u.n. secretary general to start the process. mollies career leaders are promising democratic elections within a reasonable amount of time and say they plan to set up a civilian transitional government the president was forced from power on cheese day. opposition supporters in belo rusa vowing to defy warnings by president alexander lukashenko he's ordered security forces to clear the streets solved in nearly 2 weeks of mass rallies over disputed election results. the 1st person charged on the hong kong's new national security that was back in court 23 year old kid is charged with terrorism and inciting the session his case is being seen as a test for hong kong's existing laws and beijing's new education those are the headlines. home.

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 for me to do.
9:06 am
so where does this leave us in this new world of artificial minds. in the last 10 years we have 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 cameras scrutinize 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.
9:07 am
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. 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 spend thousands of
9:08 am
euros to attend a trade show and 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 data sets 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. this algorithm is capable of reading facial expressions which are so nuanced they may pass unnoticed
9:09 am
to the human eye. the end point is commercial reactions are measured against different adverts to see which images are the most effective. those who say they were an eco director sort of get 20 plus on the show back to those you johnny need to take a. look nose or go eat. them to still get to set a homicidal circle worst song. possible. or you won't get on the plane. and then a little more. conscious sitting with your leisure what a shock is that bird or. at least this. is your work. on the moon should or should us like to meet him so will i don't that's
9:10 am
a valid reason soon. before you are presented oh yeah. but it was going for saddam it was so critical. this algorithm is not limited to commercial applications. it can also measure people's reactions to politicians it was tested in the last french presidential election cycle during a televised debate. for them all the not to take a break the news of a good movie. could be cost efficient could you and i print it out if he did a con the deck usenet and a prison with. me to prison was all negative. if you. look on the data the supposed. to michael
9:11 am
but didn't when my son he kept. it is just sit on the stuff. to make such an algorithm effective it must be fed millions of data points. the gods of the mega data world are the big 4 google amazon facebook and. 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
9:12 am
a different way from humans so you need to see a lot of for 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 burman there's a tiny bit and then after seeing probably a 1000000 off examples the system food learned to differentiate between cats and dogs as well as people do. when is 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
9:13 am
progress made with image and voice recognition the assistant can answer any questions a user could ask who print of this. riso 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.
9:14 am
ok i'll remember that you said my favorite team is barcelona and now your system to remember and then from now on i can simply say my team when is my team next game or things like that people do not need to learn how to interact with machines they can't just say you know you can just say hey you will order a taxi for me it makes the services and benefits are really to be adult about to all people ok google how's the traffic to my home. on 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
9:15 am
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. knology has an ability to find patterns in complex data sets is that humans could never do alone so this has huge implications and the technology has an opportunity to help researchers in the different fields to tackle some of the most difficult problems in the fields of medicine transportation us. me and elsewhere. to transport to the stars the applications for this technology seem limitless. to find more concrete applications he had to a so called smart town. on the way we noticed airports increasing reliance on ai systems to manage the flow of passengers.
9:16 am
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 that heavily on an investment in ai systems for logistics. the old docklands are now the smart docklands a model for future urban development. and we are at the silicon valley of europe in dublin 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 in relationships on our
9:17 am
smart city program as well. as lots of big trends like big data internet of things machine learning artificial intelligence what you waiting to do is take that data back you know crace insights from that data on and in almost real time make decisions based on that 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 martin 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 the 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.
9:18 am
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 tools for that 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 those 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 i so what's happening this morning it looks a bit congested there in a few patients yeah the data showing us actually suggested here this morning. as
9:19 am
well here so that this should become it if you are here and i'm sorry long as q at the moment is not an actual question our system is south learning south calibrating system most of the time the system 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. 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 and 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
9:20 am
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 and analyzing a huge range of inputs to find hidden correlations amongst data sites. i mean just a lot of 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
9:21 am
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 in 70. people are leaving this area with the information that this whole area a city might slower travel times than usual so this heard of in order to provide the explanations that twitter is for use. so a lot of artificial intelligence now i think is comes down to making predictions
9:22 am
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 team is working on an ai assistant for drivers like. you have the event detection in the video stream right yes so we have something to produce 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 essentially 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.
9:23 am
just detected something. it seems you're going to u.c. l.c. field is that correct. yes. it should enter you see. is that ok can you explain to me why because the internal gates. can i suggest the best parking spot to you that would be great yes. 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 what's the camera in
9:24 am
front of you so we discussed what i would be able to detect certain conditions of the driver and included disc conditions you know what i model and expand our he's communications strategist so i still really state of the driver so if you can detect that somebody has a lot on his or her mind it's the companion may use that information to be more proactive situation but here 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
9:25 am
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. his general hospital the largest to begin with is 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 actually over a decade money today the heart rate rate oxygen said to raise some blood laboratory
9:26 am
values we are trying to develop allegory terms that could detect the different the d.c.s. is an awesome order 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 and pepper sepsis or not so basically we're telling them but ok these patients had sepsis these patients didn't have a sepsis asking computer to find what differentiates these 2 groups and then the computers trying to find there was so the message in a way learning by itself to detect sepsis.
9:27 am
what we're hoping to do with mushing learning used to get the tool that would give the same kind of odd that i'm experienced doctor has. the tale also lists experienced doctors with ok now you should perhaps be worried about this baby and actually in this project we were able to subsist winnie for hours before doc to have some high speed sometimes we took our blood blood samples that confirmed the diagnosis. this advance detection system allows treatment to begin 24 hours earlier in a situation where time is of 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
9:28 am
the information from the patients from their electronical health records from their imagine from their laboratory tests the amount of data nowadays is so shoots that there is no man can handle that so we need some help for that. artificial in interludes and would be their normal life for not only called research but also for the doctor and it would be a good tool for 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. selfless

a tiny difference. 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 scar brought in 505 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.
9:37 am
the whole country is investing in an 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 the 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. which is 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 and it's not only for and about biasing for many many companies. so
9:38 am
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 knowledge of hand to recognize what ease into picture and a word to production is we know where to provide these and then in doing extract features and then we compare always order provided we have then send back the same or seen of her 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 posts 1000000000

can michelle for she share with you all what you're doing we are. hiding out of it all 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. whole 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
9:41 am
smart phones can tell us so much more about an individual's behavioral patterns. because there are clues out there. about. what maybe they are running maybe if they are walking like imo if the location is and. so will make. shopping. in the park 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 their 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
9:42 am
they. based on what they hope they 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 an 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
9:43 am
selects local garages to carry out the repairs it saves the customer time saving the insurer money since the op can detect inconsistency and flagged potentially fraudulent claims. normally there will be like 10 to 20 percent operational calls cost of fraud case so once we solve this problem. 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 chain chances are that you. aren't how you're going to.
9:44 am
turn and shoot and sit and half the night you could be 5 additional year touch entire day war. now each year and goes oh i thought you balance you sure you that changes are going to push you off you did you were pretty directly. in a few moments the app evaluates his profile and except his application. was in a word about word or didn't have to go oh yes i know the odds are that i was on guard and i was a shame that she and i were that she just. i just into the whole world where do you go to her this is going to be working at your breasts now or to you when she's there with your server yeah i can see him swimming with me through our degrees that is why 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
9:45 am
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 really no woman do you hear that you'll be the home for the aga eagleton will you unless you. truly. want to israel and order to go. i'll. interest you know the holidays he says he will need to how do you. know that. john that you go through the u.c.c. how you'll be cheated you don't leave that you will. do you. see new whole who will move. on to
9:46 am
a pin good 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. 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.
9:47 am
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 daughter wearily law school or national means a european i could cruet from many services many internet bitterness and even tell you your life you are a big clued from many posts to be to nice opportunities and also even its 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
9:48 am
a good friend also you some dating website they also pays you you'll see them acquitted score. people and the fleas so our law school we are sinking are 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 this. very early. fix.
9:49 am
i mean it was going to be. something you're not going. to go well no more allowed to. fail you know going to songs that i mean you stand for your office in the north sea just as you're just little invested in it you know you got 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
9:50 am
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 all the personal data. so they would love to be involved into these the development of ai by offering those big pita to work with staffs like us. so this is a system that we developed. 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 freezone poll your. or me seeing people like me seeing children if you show up. the machine will shake remind you that you're following the people
9:51 am
in the database all about them their cameras can also be taught to analyze a person's movement patterns allowing them to identify suspicious body language. or. believe it or. through the. old 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 together if this system figure out detect any special song for example gunshots or people yelling for help then the system will automatically turn the camera into
9:52 am
the direction of the sound so that the system will know what is the accident or is it in any. children with a person they don't know the whole city the system would become like a game in the game whatever you do you are recorded and the system understands whether you are doing so in the future the city will understand the people's behavior even the crime. it's will be stopped in the real time rather than afterwords. 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
9:53 am
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. roll out. in the show hall. ralph hall was in the. hall. it's a. feed me and they could possibly oh yeah ok polly and i could all. be. just as shows a show because i had to go on our. own truck time i was
9:54 am
