30000 happy such friends here. i can tell you that i said don't discount australia because they're gonna come out fighting and fighting if they did and of an incredible dramatic aid idea of england. wade cult. oh, how can you just talk to what is, what did i write on time? what's going on in vladimir putin's mind right now? could this war go nuclear, this being on that front team, the golden ticket to electro victory? can americans agree on any immigration policy? is there a middle ground between 0 tolerance and open borders? the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line. ah, i'm how many bedrooms do i have?

these are the top stories on al jazeera, more than 200000000 people in the us are under weather warnings as a bitterly cold storm sweeps through north america. the arctic blasts has left hundreds of thousands of homes without power and caused major travel. disruption forecasters are calling it a once in a generation whether event, nbc shaquille brewster has more on the severe weather conditions. dear invention, harbor, michigan, which is essentially right across the lake from chicago. we're getting all of the impacts of this massive winter storm. you see the snow that's coming down? well, they're expecting the snow to continue possibly for more days. it's this lake effect snow. some areas expecting more than 2 feet of it to come by the time we get to christmas, but it's not just the snow. it's also the wind. at some points there are breaks in the snow, but you can tell because of the wind whipping the snow around the toughest when the strongest wind is expected to come later this afternoon,

up to 60 mile in our wind gusts for this area. but the danger is and what you're hearing from a local authorities, local police authorities is that you shouldn't be out on the roads. because what this wind does is it whips around the snow that's already on the ground and on the road that creates 0 visibility in those white out conditions that so many are concerned about. a record breaking snow storm has had parts of northwestern japan killing at least 8 people. it's led to traffic chaos, disrupted railway services and cut power to thousands of homes. forecasters are expecting more severe weather in the coming days. there been protests in paris after 3 people were shot dead near a kurdish cultural center. investigators are considering a possible racist motor for the attack. a 69 year old suspect previously jailed for attacking migrants has been arrested in the past. sure. it is not certain that the killer wanted to assassinate these people, and there is little doubt that he wanted to assassinate people here in paris and

did so specifically to talk to kurdish people. and he was clearly targeting foreigners, we need to know from the judicial inquiry presided over by the public prosecutor, whether it was specifically for the kurds. but for the moment to him that there is no evidence to show that it m. 23 fighters who've seized large areas in the democratic republic of congo, have pledged to retreat from a strategic frontline position fighter se they'll give up the town of cuba. east african leaders have been pushing for an end to the conflict. it's force hundreds of thousands of people from their homes since october volunteer kid. let them go through of a film who should do this. this is a good will gesture that the m 23 will make today. it is in the name of keyless and a gesture that is part of the recommendations of the mini summit up heads of state health and angola in november 2020 to me. so we hope that the kinshasa government will seize this opportunity to handles and work to bring peace to our country. oil

giant shell has agreed to pay nearly $16000000.00 to nigerian community is affected by leaks in its pipelines. but the company says the settlement for oil spills between 20042007 is not an admission of liability. a dutch appeals court ruled last year in favor of farmers in the niger river delta. after 13 years of legal battles . china is battling a wave of crone of virus infections that has hit the elderly population hard. this video shows dozens of body bags piled up at a funeral parlor in the southwestern city of chunking. but beijing has reported just a handful of deaths from the virus during the current surge. it recently changed criteria for registration of cobit 19 fatalities. facebook's parent company mehta as agreed to pay $725000000.00 to settle a privacy lawsuit. the social media giant was accused of allowing 3rd parties to access users personal data. the lawsuit followed revelations that a u. k based consulting firm cambridge, analytical access, millions of facebook profiles. the firm has also been accused of using the data to

support donald trump's election campaign. the american and russian space agencies are facing a dilemma. how to get several astronauts home. that's after a russian saw you a spacecraft spring, a leak last week. it stalked at the international space station. russia may need to send another spacecraft to bring the crew back. those are the headlines. the news continues here on al jazeera after data lat, thanks for watching. ah ah, right now, at this very moment, artificial intelligence is trying to figure out exactly who you are. a, i mean makes our thoughts and emotions. it analyzes ourselves to decode our genetic

material. no task is beyond its capabilities. a i is even learning to drive our cars for us. ah, a i controls robots that work more efficiently than we do. so where does this leave us in this new world of artificial mines? 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. network operators record our movements to the nearest meter,

as some applications, geo tag users, every 60 seconds surveillance cameras scrutinize our every move unknown entities siphoned our data from public. why fi networks? sensors in the roads, we drive on record our journeys. m a . i regulates traffic, predicts the weather, and records pollution levels. our frenzied online activity generates an avalanche of data. each minute we make a 3300000 posts on facebook. 3.8000000 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 i flew in paris, 15000 participants and spent thousands of euros to tend to trade show on big data. net events like these are big business and you don't want to be the one missing out modern a. i systems that by colossal datasets are opening doors to lucrative opportunities . machine learning revolutionized a i development that is machines capable of teaching themselves without human input . over the last 5 years, this technology has transformed

a i 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 purse based startup has developed new facial coating technology. ready 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 does renew those which is about as to the only chill director on his him was to get 20 posts on the shows can zap acted. also, johnny nick blackwell shall look now as i go. he'd been ill at the shelter. if you

said that made a stocky to set a ha master, took a horse, salt lake was my dust. so going past, gone and cuddled, you'll get who's on the pink. so he said in a little more de can do scro, you can cause she sit in with you as well. i shook his epo, i could l, let's use this really do me. p. c, web, eyes open, cook on them, was chew on twitter like 10 minutes at him. so i don't less valid with him soon. workshop teacher don't get monica samples on. guess if all of up hope was on, fidel yadda kissed him out, his can much. buh but good due to school for said come it was you could you could, could you please on little it could be push or can y'all scenario this algorithm is not limited to commercial application. you can also measure people's reactions to politicians. it was tested in the last french presidential election cycle during a televised to paint it through the phone with. it just gives you

a little good sit lactose video tab. no environment, the no clue deeper to teach. a vague, the new he does have a good new rules. he's asking, jacob shows them, could be, it has official, could yonah pretty not if he collected upon the deck, you should never to presume was you minot, shall look on the deck. you never to presume was on negative mine of been a pre a look on the dow, thus a bush joe. crazy. now shank young actually produces hitting michael a doctor to live but didn't when mass on the to cap. um he not if he just he told hasta to make such an algorithm effective. it must be fed millions of data points. the gods of the mega data world are the big for google, amazon. facebook and apple. did we headed desert to see it in action?

here google has built it largest research center dedicated to a i 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 their recent years. and it makes possible what was impossible just 2 years ago. a machine to learning in a different way from humans. they need to see a lot of examples to understand what they're seeing on a photograph. for example, if you are teaching a computer to recognize a captains that you much, you need to show it's a lot of examples and then the system would try to take a guess of was a new pictures. and every time it would make a mistake, for example, miss label a dog for a cat, it with a just the barometers a tiny bit. and then after seeing, with probably a 1000000 of examples,

the system food. so learn to differentiate between cats and dogs as well as people do. when is my next meeting? the next thing on your calendar is today at 1 pm. it's called context. be shod. bees. audi leads a team developing a next gen voice command assistant, a project very much in keeping with the ambitions of big tech companies. thanks to progress made with image and voice recognition. the assistant can answer any questions a user could ask. who painted this? mona lisa was created by leonardo da vinci translate this this might be right, check out the translation in the image above. how many calories doesn't have. there are 95 calories in one medium,

apple. this virtual assistant slips into the heart of your home as the smart speaker the justice gets better, the more you use it. it both learns from the interaction to more personalized towards my needs. but also i can teach things for the assistant. for example, i can just say ok, google, my favorite team is bus alona. okay, i'll remember that you said my favorite team is bar alona and now just systems remembers this. and then from now on, i can simply say my team one is my team. 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 the taxi for me. it makes the services and benefits really to be available to all people. okay, google has

a traffic to my home on your way home traffic is light as usual. it is 28 minutes by car. okay, google. remind me to call mom when i get home. sure. i'll remind you on your phone when you get home. when that works out there really at the human level, at the same way that humans interact between themselves, then, then these types of technologies is available to everybody. ah, i have an optimistic view on the future. and i believe there's a tremendous opportunity in artificial intelligence. we are still in the early days of the field, but we've seen that it can tackle some of the largest problems in the world. the technology has an ability to find patterns in complex data sets that humans could never do alone. so this has huge implications and the technology has an opportunity to help researchers in different fields to tackle some of the most difficult

problems on the field of medicine, transportation, astronomy and elsewhere from health care to transport, to the stars. the applications for this technology scene limit list to find more concrete applications. he had to a so called smart town. on the way we noticed airports increasing reliance on a i systems to manage the flow. passengers clean themselves will soon integrate a i system 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 been heavily on an investment in a i,

systems for logistics the old doc lands are now the smart doc lands, a model for future urban development. we are at the silicon valley of europe in dublin. you just look at the dock vans here, you know, some people call it the silicon docs. and we've got, we're a leading tech companies, you know, within 15 minute walk. you've got google with 6000 employees. got facebook, you've got air b and b, all crating. excellent. value for the city and building great partnerships and relationships on our smart city program as well as well to 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, crazy insights from that data and in almost real time make decisions based on our 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 it. citizens, son, applications are quaint, like this mart been 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 talent experiencing and economic search. the council has installed cameras and sensors across a number of key locations. they record the flow of pedestrians, flakes, buses, and car. ah, but how do they manage this huge flow of data? brendan o'brien rent the team responsible for traffic light operation, many towns, he's 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 boss reports to us where it is, what it's doing, what route is it on? is it in congestion? is it stopped at a full stop? we'll see the slowdown and boost movements and that will actually alert operators here to the fact that those problems which the bosses are experiencing. but that in turn means that all the traffic is experiencing as well. i. so what's happening this morning? it looks a bit her congest. they're in a free vacation. yeah, the date is shown as actually congestion here this morning to, to, to lays on this route here. so it should be coming to view as little time through here that, that's a fairly long askew. the moment is not an axis building a case of maria, our system is, is the south learning self calibrating system. most of the time the tim works away in the background by itself and an automated voice. the system still requires some human input to manage effectively. but there is another great technological leap forward on the horizon, a piece of software that will predict problems before they arrive. can we predict

what's gonna happen next? you see all these vehicles coming in, you know, can we go forward 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 pattern. and once they 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 ibm, which opened a research station just outside the city in 2011. ah, once that investment is made, then you can do things like sensor, rising an entire road networks and actually of 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

a i development. they are constantly refining and analyzing a huge range of inputs to find hidden correlations amongst data. i mean, in just a lot of data criteria, services with the main challenge is that the data are very heterogeneous. each tells you a small part of the complete picture in it's very hard for us to actually 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. ibm has begun integrating posts made on twitter to its algorithms data feed. the twitter often allows you to associate geo text tweets

about an event such as, there was an, a concert and 70000 people are leaving this, arizona, i with the information that the, this whole here he, hey seeing might slower travel times than usual. so sort of in order to provide the explanations the twitter is very use 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, making them to do streams. and so hello, this came, is working on and only i, assistant for driver side connection, video streams lives. so you have low the event detection in the video stream,

right? yes. so we have something i could use for the companion, or what we want to provide to your is an assistant that gives information that's relevant to you in the context of the strip, right? so the idea is essentially the companion that watches over you like a guardian angel that sees all your behaviors because this only some advice that's relevant for you. it just detected something it seems to you're going to use a t l field. is that correct? that he's got to yes, you should enter you cd through the noise east gate of still oregon road. is that okay? can you explain to me why? because the you see the internal gates are closed. now can i suggest the best

parking spot to you? that would be great. yes. desist can intuit what the user needs without having to ask direct question. is that are coming from the car and from the driver? like where the car has been, what trips i've taken in the past where i am, i had it now, but also a lot of data from the environment, right? like traffic situation and if that weather situation. now we may be even data from social media, all the publicly available data. what's the camera in front of you? so with this camera fluid be able to detect certain conditions of the driver and included these conditions in our a model and expand our risk mitigation strategies. so as to really include the cognitive state of the driver. so if you can detect that somebody has a lot on his or her mind, writes than companion may use that information to be more proactive than situation where somebody is really focused and not distracted

with hey, i wants to be your best friend, a friend that reads your emotions, counsels you guides you and follows you. it seeks omnipotence, but whether this will be for better or for worse remains to be seen. ah, we had north in search of the cutting edge of digitally enhanced medicine. finland was an early adopter of data driven health care a i, it's becoming a key asset in providing treatment. helsinki general hospital, the largest in finland, is developing an algorithm to efficiently process patients. marcus

luskin, 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 o the phone. mm. we're moving, we have collected data for several years. actually over the decades we monitor data . hot rates are using rate ox against her to raise on flood research laboratory values. we are trying to develop algorithms that good to detect a different diseases on the same model we have so far used sepsis. oh no, it's looking like that. those who have outside of the immune system 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, a can even prove fatal. in the beginning to comp, you the needs to know whether this patient epilepsy so not so basically we are filling them with, okay. these patients had said this be space and students have us epsis and asking compute to find what differentiates these 2 groups. and then the computer's trying to find their will. so the machine is in a way, learning by itself to detect sepsis or get on the same menu. what we're hoping to do with machine learning is to get the tool that would give the same kind of i, that them experienced dr. that ill also less experienced doctors that okay, now you should perhaps be worried about this baby. and actually in this project, we were able to detect sips as 24 hours before dr. had system high suspicion that though we took up our block of blood samples that confirmed the diagnosis. this

advance detection system allows treatment to begin 24 hours earlier in a situation where time is of the essence. data accumulated throughout a patient lifetime is what forms big data in finland for the last 20 years. this information has been stored in a centralized server. helsinki general hospital wants to deploy a i to get the most out of this data and has launched some 30 pilot schemes. we collect all the information from the patient from their electronical health records, from their imagine pictures from their laboratory. this, the amount of data nowadays is so huge that there are no man can handle that. so we need some help for that. artificial intelligence would be the norm. a lie for, not only for research, but also for the doctors. and it would be a tool for ah,

hospital directors and no nursing stuff. so now it is time to use it efficiently. as health care becomes ever more technologically sophisticated, the ambitious goal of predictive treatment moves closer to becoming a reality. it was supposed to be a refuse, but cells coolly, his brothers home was allegedly the scene of torture, rape, and even murder one. 0, one east investigates the crimes and those set to be behind them on al jazeera. so something new. so delete this is a syncing with

ah, i'm how much abdomen doha. these are the top stories on al jazeera,

more than 200000000 people in the us are under weather warnings as a bitterly cold storm sweeps through north america. the arctic blast has left hundreds of thousands of homes without power and caused major travel disruption forecasters are calling it a once in a generation weather event. a record breaking snow storm has had parts of northwestern japan till at least 8 people. it's led to traffic chaos, disrupted railway services and cut power to thousands of homes. forecasters are expecting more severe weather in the coming days. they're in protests in paris after 3 people were shot dead near a kurdish cultural center. investigators are considering a possible racist motive for the attack. a 69 year old suspect previously jail for attacking migrants has been arrested in the bows. sure, it is not certain that the killer wanted to assassinate these people, and there is little doubt that he wanted to assassinate people here in paris and did so specifically to talk to kurdish people. and he was clearly targeting

foreigners, we need to know from the judicial inquiry presided over by the public prosecutor, whether it was specifically for the kurds. but for the moment that there is no evidence to show that it m. 23 fighters who have seized large areas in the democratic republic of congo, have pledged to retreat from a strategic frontline position fighter se they'll give up the town of cuba. east african leaders have been pushing for an end to the conflict that's forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes since october in $23.00 is widely understood to be backed by wanda and allegation were wanted to nice. oil giant shell has agreed to pay nearly $16000000.00 to nigerian communities affected by leaks in its pipelines. but the company says the settlement for oil spills between 2004 in 2007 is not an admission of liability. it also said the pipelines were sabotaged. a dutch appeals court ruled last year in favor of the, of farmers in the niger delta. after 13 years of legal legal battles. china is

battling a wave of krona virus infections that has hit the elderly population hard. this video shows dozens of body bags piled up at a funeral parlor in the southwestern city of cha ching. but bay jing has reported just a handful of deaths from the virus during the current surge. it recently changed criteria for registration of coven 19 fatalities. those are the headlines now. it's back to data land ah, ah, 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 siphoned our data from public why fi networks are frenzied?

all 9 activity generates an avalanche of data. and these torrance of data are stored in banks of servers and all over the world. in the era of big data, your digital footprint is worth more by the day ah welcome to sions. in 90 percent of consumer electronics sold worldwide are produced in this city. smartphones, tablets, and video game consoles are all manufactured by the bucket load. all of us tech giant produce their goods here in this colossal workshop. boutique electronics are assembled and packaged alongside their bargain basement. imitators. the city center posts a gigantic electronics, bizarre, which offers such

a huge selection of goods that this group of visiting with students don't even know where to begin. so glad to go to bit of it. you see the visually to go mazama die through to through that with on because they were c'mon, elmer share still the you much of a free me or to the military to to proceed to the 3 barbara for just a washer new bond one. these students are studying electronics design or project management for them. sions, and is proving a bigger jaw than silicon valley. back in switzerland. they worked on developing a number of projects in gens m. they worked on adapting them to the realities of the chinese market. you know, to like to make this, you know, tallish key it. paula gwinnett deal is awful. i don't the hall county boston one day. it'll fall away on mass points. you social 2 are some p here to pull to see books when want office hebrews to someplace there is sheila, perhaps you don't you see no heat mini booklet rocket while she some are some

actually fell into his room without even available song to read per song from want i was have leaky. here they work in a maker space, a start up style, digitally focused workspace. a i, technology is their bread and butter. this engineer has come from jordan to market his invention weight of pocket spectrometer. we opened the application on the fire, we've scanned solid food anyhow through a song to make it real. yes. a can eat it. so i just like want it to the device like this. ah, and he or your kid nies wide from information about tomato. so you can see how much garb brought in on 5 or inside this tomato on the most wealthy. what is the freshness for this? so that's why it's very useful for b bush. it's little. it's like that same algorithm used by china to identify faces

by dipping one face to face is i own of 1000000 or 2 really us. so that's how we use deep learning. and a i that's fixed on that he says, ah, in china, it's all about economies of scale. with 1400000000 inhabitants over half of which 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 alibaba group is an online retail giant dubbed the chinese and the oh oh oh,

yeah. oh baba is investing $15000000000.00 in research facilities in china, but also in the us, russia and israel. it is very important for the company to invest and without technology, we saw the ai, artificial intelligence i use going to be difficult for the company. and it's not only for auto biasing for many, many companies. so this why we invest a lot to help customers to improve the experiences. like the look of this dress with one click, ali baba offers a myriad of similar options. it takes mere seconds to review millions of items listed on its website. so basically the technology hand to recognize what is in the picture and where to produce it is we know where to progress and dana and dana extract features. and then we'll compare a with,

or the part of the we have didn't send back are the same or similar products 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 monthly users wishing ha another draw. she had heartbroken july. should ya bought a google, a cooling on the walk and boiled hire with her? we soon goto. oh, wishing her pension hates you? hello, should go on the north south on when she are kinda out. hobbs, it's jo keisha and boat condo. don't see georgia when she local. no, it's okay. she's yeah. send you why. hello to mercantile your,

your are some of the ways i saw your hunting shower. oh twitter, that's been dam. i don't shower. sure. oh, too tall? sure, toyota. so july, as you can see if war oh, ashley to julio law, who is actually returning a phone. genuine watch, inara is younger if you fusion was assessing unified funds. yeah. so to the hockey services on some wooden ball, the racial you have kenisha what she share with us and she are your what you get on track and your team. we are from an american, with united for jason. she's hiding out to her to dollar was tying a she bianca now so forward period with her usual webber. consumers can't get enough and shall little concerned 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 smartphones. the numbers are dizzying. $731000000.00 users are scanned every month. whole towns are put under the microscope. this is har, been home to 10000000 people. this graphic shows the flow of computers block by block, but data collected from smartphones can tell us so much more about an individual's behavioral patterns because there are sensor dad devices. so it can cause what i do know. maybe they are running. maybe they are walking like example, if the location isn't shocking. so when they come in for the shopping and

if you in the, in the park. so maybe they are relaxing. it's often priority is maybe businessman. so we use data to do something different, based on that date of collective profiling in this way, greatly enhances the potential for targeted advertising. but it doesn't stop there . fighting yum mile with the biggest thoughts for the company in china. if they want to look over your thought zone car, so they can circle our area and based on what the data we collected, we can see if the, the use of come to the area can match the current use of if the 2 groups of people are similar, maybe i thought who the players told us all the amount of data transmitted by cell phones is constantly on the rise. thanks to an

ever increasing number of apps. ant financial is a subsidiary of retail giant alibaba. 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 ensure 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 while saving the ensure money. since the app can detect inconsistencies and flag, potentially fraudulent claims. normally that will be locked 10 to 20 percent. operational cost is caused the pfizer fraud case. so once, when we solve this rocket problem, the usual company can save lot, cancel, millions chinese throughout each year.

the algorithms being developed by ant financial can also offer fast and convenient credit services. this cooter vendor has just taken out a loan to renovate his storefront and purchase master. ah, the chang who you talked with vendor to e. ha ha ha ha ha, ha you sean. good to know john buddha change you pronounce cynthia williams half and 25 will get you clear. hutchins every day war. now osha and also i thought she balance you joy, you the thumb botch in to now good to push ya, did you? what did he do in a few moments, the app evaluates his profile and accepts his application. don't worry about where do you have zuba? how again sha walker garza who was on that was

a shame walker. gotcha. an hour that she just you or james hall are there. where did was our this will give you a good sebra. now of the real frenchie, the way a survey are busy and for lord, i mean article i love 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 lies a complex match of algorithms. it scans all given data on a client to build a predictive model that evaluate the liquidity of any given start up entrepreneur italy nailed, and you, you hear the t v. i feel you fit on for the other eager to leave them with you. sure. so you for the why, so i do feel 100 iga and also i'll show you put

a leash edition where i all you see here. oh, whom? who eat interesting. linda pincher. short holiday his and see will me she's how do you hi. she bought the sheila, the digital phone, we're john, the you go through the u. s. he is. he hale beauty, the digital realty, a war on and the only i, the t for crecia, you go feet on foot, either you go including a waste john. she knew clearly hall, whom you will take assume folder to the high. so um, to create a pin. gould, hartney, chief of homes here ah, these kinds of systems exist also in every day payment apps, such as ali pay these algorithms not only measure your ability to pay back money borrowed, but also integrate your consumer habits into their ratings should walk high on the go to my highway mega yamaha, how can you chief omega? she'll or do i old?

ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, the way tune jain assumed which you were your way to her honey. go shoot to one of the soon. she's your technologies, year or 2 to tango, tango and you there you see alicia, where lives can year to have him hunt when you the soon you fair job little into yeah. okay. shall we're talking her she, when she fara, jewel clayton, what it's even larger. you go rang shuttle, she says you go to hospital. this app allows you to judge others based on their credit score. a once private piece of information turned to public. a new social evaluation tool. many companies are developing such algorithms which assess citizens on opaque criteria. a development roundly denounced by this economics professor in beijing.

if you're got a wendy law school, let me say you are a b. i could croup from many services, many internet business, and even delux or life. you are big, clued from many opposed to p. denise option days and also he went, it's hard for you. ah, a daily laugh because sometimes he so if for some people sinker, you are not sco. hi lankin system. they sink a, you are not a good a friend or so you some dating website. they also can chew your i see them accredited score tada people and hopefully saw when they log scorely we are sinking or not a label. they're under field tant, 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 and jensen is one example of its application of if they elect i think that the tv la, sotheby's not going to log in while i took that the did. i don't even have kenneth fairly hook on his own. i mean you could stand williams. so suggestion most you'll to just the golden buzz didn't make it always gulf 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 states 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 shot. facial recognition technology relies on a massive data collected by the authorities on each citizen. ah, the transition to the digital age has been a gold mine for developing algorithms that work alongside smart cameras as the state partners with the private sector. the chinese government owns a lot of big data faces, for example, with a personal day thus. so they would love to be involved in to these b girl development over a i by offering those speak a bit hard to work with stops like os.

so this is a system that we developed to force force the for the police department. we have a camera in the glass to fund people in the crowd. so if you are in the database, for example, you are foot it eaves or me, seeing people like missing children. if you show up that machine will shake. what remind you that you found the people in the database? ah, some of them to have some dinner about cameras can also be taught to analyze a person's movement patterns, allowing them to identify suspicious body language later . so it your leader that up a little further that it oh oh, the public area and the system were understand some certain patterns. for example,

people start to run or people start to fight and the cameras and the sound can work together. the vision and the sound can work together. if the system figure out the tact i need special some, for example, are gunshot or people yelling for help. then the system will automatically turn the camera into that direction of the sun so that the system will know what is the accident or incident happen if it don't, don't with a horse, and they don't allow the whole city or the system will become like a gated in the game, whatever you do, you are recorded and the system understands what you're doing. so in the future, the city we're understand, the people's behavior evanego crime happens. it's well be stopped in the real time,

rather than after worse. 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. joe, uh let's hide z, i z a while ago on the chicago. well, 5 sienna was solidity. good. she go show it to you for the top now. whoa, whoa, the and the good was empty ways she had home paid da kyla had side to co

well it was her didn't yeah. lee. good tim hill? yeah, dog. ha ha ha ha ha good. the po found it just oh was since i show cause i had to go, our daughter shall sure. are you to el paso or made own trough, i assured o one that says i cannot assure you, tell boss. so the hard darkening pow order shall come called the shunting iliad humble ones who include torsh. i sat in tow, dra, though of the shims of 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 nonconformist, your score will decrease. allow your score to fall to low and you could be denied

rental. accommodate a bank loan or a job interview. even long distance travel will be curtailed. toppa j i you good. she got the lights, yen dolly ship, she go. yo, yo wasn't ye there and then send me to she. it's hot light. oh, what quick walk gall line, jen, jen cole, sawyer? there has always shandra black. she goes, she'll not say, georgia rogan yet. he but ouch has offered z a lot. what any pull now? she oh, she on ger for la gun. don't nigel way. shoes and the shuttle lot. watch him buy a joyful, also colder. or to the che dia sure. ah, good ya competition that may or g that's usually there shall. could i may made some a comma. try know around lights. yeah.

tailored to a warranty. i mean so all tomlins jojo way, joe ford, tara, or charlie aqua, thomas, or tom, and to assure you, i was whole said jol warren's. i yo hairstylist's ensure gordon, that shadowy chum would shalysea dubois. i shall have his mom. what is it, ignorance, or indifference that has kept many chinese in the dark regarding this sinister new development in state surveillance? either way, one can't help a sense of foreboding when confronted by the full spectrum of potential in mankind's ambition is for the future of big data. ah

are they protect his old profits? he is a free speech mosque is showing us how vulnerable space is online. truly are when they are controlled by millionaires of logo, documenting facts on the ground. i'm not a journalist, people trust individuals, more than the news or a purveyor of the state line. how can you show the destruction of a political war and still be a political unchecked? the media can distort narratives and reshape realities. the listening post keeps watch on al jazeera. there was a time to be direct there basically on the verge of legalizing racial jerry battery to cut through the rhetoric. this isn't a universal death. 30 crisis. it seems to be one of particular populations to dismantle the sound bites. there are lots and lots of women are lightly agenda a kind of anti feminist agenda. and the man, the truth,

those the size of fascism. we have to really recognize what we're off of here. we are determining what is the future of democracy in this country. join me, mark them on hill for up front on al jazeera with hello, let's check up on that. whether across north america where they really cold weather has setting across pretty much all of the u. s. is dive down to canada, pushed all the way down towards south thing, or the ice, abbas a lined up from north to south right away across florida, some parts of the us even in northern areas of mexico. i'll just take the cloud of the chart here. so you can see how tightly packed, how many i suppose the raw on the chops. hence that very, very strong winds wind still gusting excess of 80 kilometers per hour, severe in chil dangerous windshield. and we are going to see even though the temperatures well there, on the improvements we'll see temperatures around minus 17 celsius therapy,

chicago friday going on into saturday. there's temperature picking up at around minus 11 celsius. but with that strong wind, it will still feel bitterly cold. that dangerous windshield continuing right through the holiday period, but you can see how the moll, rather less cold ash will call it that is trying to push it's wayne from southern parts, se temperatures at minus 7 celsius there for chicago by monday afternoon. so that some kind of an improvement still plenty of snow. they're coming in across central parts of canada. lake effects. no, they're just around the great lakes. starting to retreat away. finally by sunday. ah. progress more. a serious mistake. artificial intelligence is slowly invading every aspect of our lives. but very few of us really understand its capabilities. for better or worse,

al jazeera explores the impact of a i accessing vast amounts of our personal data. data land on al jazeera, the latest news as it breaks. this particular sub station has been here in 3 separate effects. quite russians we saw with detailed coverage, they had helped us with relapse water and damage restrictions this week, which will likely have better. there are to getting in from around the world over 3000000 people to talk to the 3 a blue to. ready
