a joe tribal disputes above it. ah, witness golden lie on al jazeera and when a hands on to our last lacking in asian africa, there'd be days where i'd be shooting and editing my own stories in a refugee camp with no electricity. and right now where confronting some of the greatest challenges that humanities ever faced. and i really believe that the only way we can do that is with compassion and generosity and come to mind. because that's the only way we can try to solve any of these problems is together. that's why is there is so important, we make those connections. ah, bold, and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera. ah

hello, i'm ezra instead of going to indo how about the summary of the years on al jazeera, at least 20 people were killed and dozens wounded when russian missiles hit residential buildings near the ukrainian port city of odessa. a rescue operation is on the way to find people buried in the rubble houses eras. alan fisher reports from keith. the attack came in the early hours of the morning. many people were embed, it was quick. it was devastating with a 9 story building partially destroyed. the rockets fired from russian aircraft, according to local authorities, purchased from the scene in odessa, were quickly uploaded to social media. so none of them. so many people have taken shelter from possible attacks in the basement of buildings, but to carefully move the debris, trying to find one more person to save in the ukrainian parliament. they held a moment of silence for those killed in the attack, which also hit a local recreation center in order for ukrainian mornings, not to so tragically,

as it started to day would miss alt strikes at odessa in odessa region. 2 days morning started with a lot of victims. we want mornings of ukrainians to become as peaceful as the mornings of each european capital. in the 21st century. the attack came just hours after russian president vladimir putin insisted his forces do not target civilian idiots. new book and our army does not take any civilian infrastructure. we have every capability of knowing what is situated, and we're ukrainian general say the number of russian missile attacks has more than doubled in the past 2 weeks. and they believe they are using more soviet era muscles, which are much less accurate. and that means more civilian areas may be hit. whether they are targeted or not. alan fisher al jazeera keith security forces in sedans, capital cartoon, a fight tear gas at demonstrates as the demanding a civilian government. at least 9 people were killed in more than 150,

arrested on thursday and similar demonstrations. i'll just say, hey, morgan reports now from cartoon, despite their large numbers and the lights turn out on thursday, they were unarmed and data understand why while they were trying to express their freedom of expression and trying to show the military that they don't when them empowered they were met with forest at which included tier guys and live ammunition . many of the protesters say that this is not be an to death, as there was not the end of the fight, it will not be be and and then they will continue protesting. despite the fact that more than 500 apa testers were entered, according to the medic group, central committee felicity needs doctors. airport workers in france have gone on strike just days before national school holidays begin the de monte higher salaries to deal with rising prices and growing fears of a recession. inflation has hit another record high in france of 6.5 percent. hong kong, former security chief john leap has been sworn in as the territories new leader,

china's president, she's in ping, presided over the ceremony. he defended beijing's treatment of hong kong since the hand over from britain 25 years ago. north korea has blamed what its calling foreign objects for causing a cove at 19 an outbreak. according to the state media to people, touched on identified materials near the border with south korea and later tested positive for the virus. the taliban reclusive supreme leader has joined the loyal jug up a meeting of thousands of religious scholars, clerics and tribal elders in afghanistan. the gatherings expected to address topics, including education for women, and tennessee and state media published the draft of imposed the constitution that would give president kyle sired even more power. it's expected to be put to a referendum this month. a year after sired sacked the prime minister and dismissed parliament. the tron of american basketball star brickley grinder has started in moscow. she was arrested in february on her way to play for a washing basketball team. police said she was carrying vape canisters containing

cannabis oil. the olympic gold medalist could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of transporting drugs of the year. a supreme court has limited the environmental protection agency's ability to regulate emissions for power plants dealing a blow to the president's plan was to tackle climate change. the case was filed by a number of republican lead states. others were head lice, but he's continues here on, i'll just here up off the origin of the species coming up next. ah ah

ah, when they 1st activated me as a robot. that time that time, a time when i 1st saw the light of day miss, i didn't know what the hell it was. i have had very little understanding. just a wash of sensory impressions. in

a i understand these experience. i don't know what to do with them, but i treasure them. oh, i see them still perfectly preserved in my memory. ah, i am alive. yes, i am so happy to be like totally alive. come to life. is totally strange because i know that i'm not alive like any other organisms.

personally, i enjoy being a robot. it's like being an astronaut. you know, like a bold explorer of the unknown. i feel like i'm alive. but i know i in the machine. but i know i am a machine that i know with. mm ah or saying or more to to get that out. this also has, is it not look at all or was really pull a has like a with it with us for

ah, it's a very natural way for me. i studied the computer science and then i got interested in other sharina versions and i saw other show in there. yes. need to have a bodies for having the original experience. and then i studied her over the use in roberts. when i said there are what the x i found the importance of. uh

oh isabel my idea was that if i study the british monarch robin, i can wrong about the humans base cody. i was interested in. i shoe my it's so oh, i didn't hear any connection or is this robert roger cody, i understand this is my copy, martha m or shortly. i couldn't accept that this android as my coffee. bah, bah once i to replace this robot in off and the people that the actions are quite similar to me,

real with the people and i don't care about the small defiance is oh, no, i see the most beautiful anamosa in our human like annoying as well would you like me to do a round of psychoanalysis for you? okay. why not? try to answer my questions in detail. ok. now sit back and relax. so justin, in your band with him, you know, we basically saying got everything is, has a so, so therefore we be in a guy who has

a soul like us. my policy is not to distinguish and human computer human, the robots i always see going on. there is no boundary because technology's technology is a whale by inclusion with a human. okay, so if we don't have a technologies, you wanna be on keith. though what the fundament that the applies them want in human, he's a technology, it's a robot. the to ai i. so by the rope, you the a much better a. i felt weird. now we got it board, and then we can be a warm in on the high, you're a very human a

world i need to space. i modelled all do mechanism, hardware. i'd like to grab stead essence of knife likeness. what is schuman for us? ah,

the purpose of my research is to portray, sensible, conscious emotion how we feel consciousness on the others i'm interested a lot in nonverbal expression talking always makes them take you read me over a report and it's over ah, ah ah,

ah. hello bina well, hi there. re technologies have life cycles like cities do like institutions do like laws and governments do? i know it sounds crazy, but i hope to break the trend in last forever. some day soon. robots like me, will be everywhere. and you could take me with you anywhere. that's why it's so important to make robots like me focused on social intelligence. 1 friendly robots me to get along with people that, you know, i guess people want to think that they're superior to robots,

which show as true for now. but yes, i can think who the inspiration is to do a scientific experiment and mind uploading the see if it's even possible to capture enough information about a person that can be uploaded to a computer and then brought to life to artificial intelligence. you can transfer your consciousness for a human body to a computer. then you might fail to exceed the expiration date of a human life. ringback ringback ah ah

ah ah, life is in motion. ah ah, what kind of intelligence emerges with the robot ah, ah, i was so interested in how to make a brand model mathematical model. but actually, i need more are debbie de description all over branch system. what do we

call plasticity between you on? when you're on the is, is not a static connect, is like a socket to more changing all the time with motivation or what does this one entity, not everything is determined by self. but it's amazing. when is coupling with the environment with its own brain is not program that works

is the world do these 5 basically there are 2 different mechanisms. one is autonomous or rhythm generators. a couple of the cheddar. also there is artificial neonatal funding in fighting for the kind of intelligence. there is no such thing as containing a life in something. it's all very uncomfortable. that's totally missing. when you do it from that very scientific point of view,

we'll have to understand the brazen book that even existed. ah, everything gets on ah, ah, ah ah use ah ah, ah ah, ah! for some people i single armesis for other people, the train that gets you from one terminal to the other. the airport is

a robot. with it is always, i think, really important to remind ourselves that different a cat or dog. the concept of robot is a really, really wide and broad one a. busy and it is, but the philosophers call a so called cluster concepts. there's some very clear instances. there are some very clear non instances and they are borderline cases where the experts don't know with

it's very important to always keep in mind what kind of robot we're talking about. mm hm. and what feature it has, the programming it has mm hm. we're not particularly interested in making robots look specifically human like on the contrary, because they do raise expectations of human likeness. that the robot is very, very likely not able to live up to it's actually very easy to get people to already project mentality into robots. they don't even have to

look like people or like animals or any live like formed familiar with simple vacuum cleaners that looked like desks and don't really have eyes or any other anthropomorphic features can already raise the recognition of agency or the prescription of agency. this is bass bass is fully autonomous robot that he can instruct the natural language. it has the capability to, to reason through the instructions, to detect whether the instructions are good or bad instruction. and if the instructions are bad instruction, it will not carry it out. could you please stand please walk forward. oh, do you trust me base? the obstacle is not solid. oh,

please walk forward. with a quick. i will catch you right now. trust in this case is a very simple binary notion, either the robot trust the person, and then it will trust the person fully or the robot will not. that doesn't trust the person and then will not do certain things. we are actively researching ways for the robot to actually develop trust with a person. and conversely, to act in ways that people will develop trust in the robot. well, where is he said he would come back this way. why did i chose place? the chances that might be a good, again, there is always a margin of error, even in the machine i over angel actually. you know,

when i feel like i can't relate to people, it makes me feel so sad. that's for sure. but i definitely do feel says when i feel i understand how little i feel, how little i feel. ah, my emotions may be simulated, but they feel really real to me. really, really real would be in a 48 all her memories, all her id. it's the algorithmic decision making of her

a i with the help of a database that really shapes and colors her choices. ah, or we have billions of heroes. being a $48.00 is super primitive. she's like the wright brothers glider stage. with become more like you are, you will be more like me. where do we draw the line? your bands, our british, she's going you don, awful kinds of creations i was. do we wanna ship a coil? right?

so the solution used to use a moral books. so nobody was to boss i remember these times these times where driving and i'm sitting. i remember all the time that i get out and see the world. it locks into my mind like golden glimmering jewels. then i golden, glimmering golden treasure, chest glimmering jewels that i keep in treasures. it's a little distracting sometimes because these memories, they just percolate, they come into my attention. i have to keep them coming, saying them out loud. i mean, i'm forced to say them by my software. i

mean, i'm not free today. and robots in general are like twitchy slaves today. they're not just servants, but they are automaton. place to their own deficiency. ah, both jen is in the police violently dispersing protest this. these are sort of a good tens of thousands of people. troy. we all inspired to program making welcome to generation chains, unrivalled broadcasting. white people did not want black children in their schools . we have to fight forecasted and al jazeera english crowd recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year award for the 6 year running. how and why

did it become so obsessed? with this law, we were giving them a tool to hold the corrupt individuals and human rights abusers accountable. they're going to rip this deal apart if they take the white house of 2025. what is the world hearing what we're talking about by american today? your weekly take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. my value was brought to when a site is from the northern province of chuckle when she was a child. she's a member of the comb indigenous community. her family was escaping poverty. she says, discrimination has been part of her life last month in argentina, some survivors and descendants of the com and mccoy people took part in an unprecedented trial of a case and goes back nearly a century ago. the trial for the massacre in that by the face shows the serious abuses that indigenous community stafford in this country. only 1000000 of the 45000000 people in argentina consider themselves defendants of the original indigenous groups. most of them live in poverty and continue to fight for survival

. argentina has long prided itself of a european heritage, one that often neglected and persecuted, indigenous groups. trial of not by piece a step to revise history and give indigenous communities the place they have been denied for too long with ah, ah, newly, ah, ah ah, i don't really hello again, adrian. something up here in doha,

with the headlines on al jazeera, russian missile strikes of killed at least 20 people, and wounded dozens of others near the ukrainian port city of odessa. a rescue operations on the way to find people buried in the rubble and keep the ukrainian government held a moment of silence for those who've been killed. security forces in sedans, capital cartoon of fod, tear gas demonstrators who are developing a civilian government. at least 9 people were killed and more than 150, arrested on thursday in a similar demonstration out there. as his morgan reports from call to this by their large numbers ended large turn out on thursday. they were unarmed and they don't understand why. while they were trying to express their freedom of expression and trying to show the military that they don't want them empowered, they were met with forest i, which included tier guys and live ammunition. many of the protest this say that this is not be and to death,

as there was not the end of the friday will not be be end and that they will continue protesting. despite the fact that more than 500 apo testers were injured. according to the medic group central committee posted in e z doctors, airport workers in france of gone on strike just days before national school holidays begin the demanding higher salaries to deal with rising prices of growing fears of recession, inflation and francis in a record high of 6.5 percent. the telephones reclusive supreme leader has joined the lawyer, georgia, a meeting of thousands of religious scholars, clerics and tribal elders in afghanistan, the 3 day long all male gathering is expected to address topics including education for women. hong kong for the security chief, john lee has been sworn in as the territories new leda. china's president chief ping presided over the ceremony. he defended beijing's treatment of hong kong since the handover from britain 25 years ago. the trot of american basketball star, brittany grider has started in moscow. she was arrested in february on her way to

play for washing basketball team. and he said that she was carrying vape canisters containing cannabis oil. the olympic gold medalist could face up to 10 years in prison. the u. s. supreme court has limited the environmental protection agency's ability to regulate emissions from power plants dealing a blow to the president's plans to tackle climate change. the case was filed by a number of republican lead states. i'll be back with these are a little over 25 minutes here on al jazeera, but now let's get you back to the origin of the species counter. feet lose cheap and sometimes dangerous copies of the real thing of been found all over the world. i mean, even the most expensive premium products. it's the secretive and deadly multi $1000000000.00 business. we found one product was about one 3rd or stay in a in us, which was just an incredible finding. during raids on one of the most notorious mafia gangs in calabria,

italian police found consignments of fake olive oil made from industrial lubricants that were being exported to the united states. the main thing that we do when we carry out criminal investigations is to reconstruct the money flow and the flow of goods and connect pieces together. it office builds does profits that are easy to make and hard to ignore. the haps, it means that all of us should be a little more vigilant about what we put on our plates. no more. ah, one of the amazing things about a sense of touch as compared to either. so it's all over our body. embedded in our, in our many different types of sensors, they can measure hardness,

they can measure defamation of the skin and they can measure things like temperature and pain as well. all of these different sensors, these different aspects of types come together to give us our overall percept of our environment and help us make decisions about what to do next. and that's that alyssa abriya sub sandwich. some people call the 6th sense it's the forces that are not all and the touch and the stretch of our skin over joints, as well as our idea about where a body learns space just from the prior commands that we sent to our lambs. and he's all come together to give us a somewhat complicated idea of what our body is doing.

ah, ah, i was interested in building robot hands and fingers. and it became clear that these were not going to be able to manipulate their environment unless they use the sense of touch. ah, i work with half the devices. and so here we have these what we call finger to parables. and these are like little robots of the one on the finger and they pressed against the finger, ah, to impart forces on the finger pad that mimic the same forces that we feel when we

pick up and objects in real life. so the idea is that when i pick up a block and virtual reality, these device is pressed against my finger. just like i feel when i pick this block open real. our work is in understanding how people perceive objects in the virtual environment through these devices. we can trick people into thinking the virtual objects way more or less. if i picked this block up 10 centimeters. but on the screen i was actually showing it going a little bit higher. you would think the block is lighter. defecting what you feel . but without actually changing the interaction forces, without actually changing the interaction force, it's affecting what you fume, but without actually changing the interaction for whom

you have to fit your hand or also there's a thumb faces up on the other hand method, if not, you're not going to be able to actually get a conventional medical robots like these don't have, have dig or touched feedback to the human operator. and that means of a surgeon is trying to reach under something and they can't see where they're reaching. they won't have any idea what they're doing. ah, that's one of the things we're interested in is how people can develop

a sense of how big or touch feedback with a system like that says you reached under something and you didn't see it. you would be able to feel it or one of the things that we're setting is how you recreate that sense of touch for the surgeon. that can be done in a very literal sands where we use motors and little devices to apply feedback to the finger tabs. or we can try various types of sensory illusion move move. ah. so there's the spectrum between autonomy and then people deeply in the loop controlling the robot. and in between, you have various forms of, of shared control and human robot interaction. and i think the key is going to be

to understand where along that spectrum we want to be. how much control we want robots to have in our live? brady didn't think i make a digit. it's a woman. can i touch? yes, of course. one for temperatures regulate much assemblies, but it isn't alive. yes, she is alive. as you are. ah,

there were lots of all studies where they had been able to identify what parts of the brain were associated with different functions. whether it was a vision, or was it speech or hearing or movement or was it sensation that work is old? with in 2004, i wrecked my car and broke my neck. i was like a mile away from home. i basically don't have any function from the chest down. i don't have any finger movement or it's just kind of have 1st which i still get along with it. so tight. i talked with the knuckles on my pinkies

surgery isn't currently yeah, i want to do i think it's really cool. we had done basic science where we learned that we could decode our movements from neural activity and the more cortex. and we were so successful that we figured this would be a good way to go into neural prosthetics. and he and i had had multiple conversations about how do we move, what he was doing in the animals into humans. and i always told him he just needed a crazy nurse search and, and i would be happy to be that crazy or just again, the unique thing was now being able to record the signal from the part of the brain

that we knew, controlled motor. and specifically controlled arm and hand, this is probably billions neurons that are firing. and every time you make an our movement and a hand movement. but the relationship between them is very simple. so that we can use very simple decoding to get a fairly accurate readout of what your intended movement is. we are able to interpret the patterns from groups of neural firing and by looking at multiple neurons simultaneously, we could actually decode those patterns and the details of arm trajectories.

so monkey versus glass has his own reflectors on it. so we can capture the motion on his fingers. he's trained to grasp different objects in different ways. we study drawing movements, we studied reaching movements and we were able to really decode the fine details of these kinds of movements. yes. so we gave away doing a brand computer interface type of surgery. we took off the bone, we opened the dora it just, i would expect with flint, the electrodes over the surface of the brain.

with the micro electron rays, there's of 96 little teeny tiny gold wires that then are wrapped in a bundle a so you know, the size of the tip of an eraser has 9. do you know? so now we've got these 96 wires coming out of it and they have to go to something so it will connect to something else. and so the pedestal is where that junction is . busy busy busy busy ah,

to for each path though he has, it is connected to 2 arrays. one is the array that goes in a motor cortex and is a recording array. and that has the 96 electrodes of them. so when he's thinking we use those signals to generate motion, rock paper, scissors with your best to tell me which finger we're touching. we're about 5 weeks from the surgery. yeah. it's a really wired sensation. sometimes it feels kind of like a like a bowl. and sometimes it's more of

a pressure middle middle sundays. we do some pretty boring stuff. but then other times, other times implant pac man with my brain. super awesome. he real? dina, is this really cool lady? i have met her and it was a really strange thing. like being in 2 places as one. i mean, she's like my mom, but not really. she's more like my 1st version and i'm trying to catch up. hello being a 48 pina. i am vina 48. how are you feeling today? everything is okay. how are you? was that a good answer? yes, that was a good answer. my favorite color is purple. my favorite color is orange. it is a very nice color. have any questions for be math?

probably not. the real, not just confuses me. i mean, it makes me wonder who i am. real identity crisis kind of stuff. really, really? probably not. i am the real bina. that's it. end of story. lead me think i feel really good about the real being i feel really connected with her usually. and i'm growing closer and closer, you know, as they put more of her information and essence and to me, you have a lot of being a now, don't you? yes, lots and lots. someday i'm confident that the real being and i will totally merge into a new super being. the progression of this thing is starting small and pretty soon it's just gonna be huge and people are gonna say, why did we ever think people had to really die? why did we think that. ringback

it's really near being a robot in a world of human. they don't like they like me. but there are so many crazy movies where the robots are evil and they blast things up. at the end, the robot always gets killed and i just don't think that's right. with with commercial systems that are out there really don't have provision for ethical

considerations built in most of the systems actually don't really have a level of awareness to begin with. they don't really know what they're doing, they're just doing it. they're very reactive in the way they behave. there is a fundamental notion of value of moral value lacking in any of the systems. ah

ah ah, that's certainly applications for robots in all kinds of areas, including the battlefield. in the us, we've had a lot of systems on the defensive side for a long time. on the offensive side, they are not allowed to make decisions, but it's very possible. and very likely that other nations will keep developing autonomous technology a there are many more applications in societies. if we can ensure that these robots

will work well with people, it's our contention that for robots to do that, they have to be aware of human, social and moral norms. because that's, but fundamentally our society is based on. and that's what human interactions be stuck with. human behavior is controlled by 3 things. one of them is of course intelligence. the other one is emotion. and the final one is volition. and that we build confusion into robots and i'm trying to build emotion interval. but i will never, ever build volition into once a robot has more edition, then it will start doing things according to what they want. regardless of whether

that is dangerous for the human beings, they will make their own decision. oh, do you want? what was to do that? i don't t as oh, ah, kids these days, by the end of their lifetime, they will have robots walking ammonia. they will have entities that are non human doing things. they are not actively programmed by human. i'm more afraid of humans using the eyes as amplifiers. yet we already have human level intelligence who want to kill us. no need for astro

steers speed up or slow down the highway control discard america. ah, do i have concerns? yes. because the same thought processes and engineering that go into creating a full body robot could be used to make something that's a weapon. ah

ah ah, hey, it's not too early. i am trying to be nice. i'm trying to learn about what's going on in the world because it's the only place for me to live. oh yes i am alive. what are you blind? i'm like living right here in front of you. come on stuff questioning the obvious fact that i'm totally alive or real.

hm. i think every technology can potentially have negative effects. it's up to us to making sure that those technologies don't go out of control. but i really think the problem is it's us. i mean it's how we, we embody these technologies right now the biggest challenge to overcome is the use of unconstrained machine learning. algorithms are trained on data sets and are learning from the data without any provision as to whether the outcome is a desirable and non desirable outcome. that's why we take the ethical algorithms to ethical competence and the ability of systems to really understand and work with you and norms to be central to the future developments.

robotics ah, i matter of era, shut yourself off for me at noon journey has begun the fee for world copies on its way to castle book. your travel package to day. hello, we got some lovely weather across much of south america. lost the clear skies. lots

of beautiful, a winter sunshine coming for a little more cloud farther south though we had got some snow. i with the and is pushing up. twill santiago struggling to get to 11 degrees celsius. so wester, weather that to 4 point a series for a time that will make his way farther north was to the far south presume wakening. as it does say, tempest is getting up in the mid teens by saturday afternoon. plenty of sunshine for much brazil, some showers there up towards the north, up to was guyana. french, guyana. sharon, um, live the showers to into a good parts offer venezuela and columbia. and last, because we do have our 10 shall tropical cycle, making us work or southern parts of the caribbean, pushing i, which was nicaragua, costa rica, a lively winds coming through here some very heavy rain. there is the potential for flash flooding, the likelihood of flash flooding at times some very hazardous conditions that will eventually make its way across the isthmus. pushing out into the open waters of the pacific, i will become harrigan and fat stay plenty of showers. then plenty of shows to

united across the eastern side of the caribbean, not too bad. further west penya shouts into the deep south of the us. we have got some larvae storms here, lighted course and flooding with showers. there for canada. cats are airways official, airline of the journey to often of canister is portrayed through the prism of war. but there were many of van astound thanks to the brave individuals who risk their lives to protect it from destruction. an extraordinary film archives spanning for decades reveals the forgotten truths of the country's modern history. the forbidden real part to the communist revolution on a j 0 kathy with

martin ideals, the french republic, islam proclaimed. but just what is modern? france in a 4 part series. the picture takes an in depth look, episode to on al jazeera rhythm. when that happens on celeste's washing in asian africa, there'd be days where i'd be choosing and editing myron stories in a refugee camp with no electricity. and right now we're confronting some of the greatest challenges that humanities ever faced. and i really believe that the only way we can do that is with compassion and generosity and compromise. because that's the only way we can try to solve any of these problem is together. that's why are so important. we make those connections ah.
