reactions from people. now on bbc news — click. algorithms and artists. it is crazy, it is part of us. i prefer our limits to our the show pitches two architects‘ visions against each other, giving homeowners the chance to really see their visions coming to life before deciding which option this week, the pope takes on robots. to go with. artificial intelligence really good perfection. takes up fishing. and gaming takes on robbie williams. professor ishiguro said one day humans would want to give robots their own rights, yeah, initially we didn't agree # through it all, she as we grow in relationships on what we wanted out with them and welcome them into our of the house, whereas i wanted offer me complexion... to keep the garden and get rid of the garage, and what actually homes as companions and helpers. happens is the opposite, i think. but this is not a view shared by european governments. we are not of the opinion that yeah, switched. it's fascinating, we're notjust robots should have rights seeing the reaction to their home, on their own. the rights pertain to people. but also the reaction to testing vr for the first time. it was so clever. the way they made it so real, if you imagine that someday there'll with the dimensions. it wasjust like being there. be a robot that completely behaves like a human being, moves like a human being, looks like a human being, welcome to atelier has facial expressions like a human being, how then des lumieres, paris. will you decide whether this entity a mesmerising new digital has a soul or not? exhibition by culture spaces, a french museum foundation it was really weird not being able to walk around that specialises in immersive art because that's your initial thought process, because you're in the house displays. and you want to see so we have to discuss what's around the corner.

you can't do that with the goggles on. that, what that means. but once you get used to it it's amazing. it was surreal, i thought. this former 19th—century foundry has for many gathered here, it was weird. been transformed to bring to life the idea of remaining a weird experience. the paintings of vincent van gogh. human while dividing body and soul it also gives visitors the chance to into inorganic and organic entities appreciate the influence japanese is impossible. but the pace of progress means these prints had on his work. issues will continue the immersive audiovisual experience to be discussed. despite everything else retraces the dutch master's this week the european union published a set involved in this tv show, life and work. of guidelines for ethical all the emotions, artificial intelligence, the fact that people warning algorithms must not are seeing their real homes, discriminate based on a person's this is actually a really great, gender, race or age. clear, immersive vr experience. this feels so real. i almost feel like i using state—of—the—art visuals can reach that tap. and 140 laser video projectors, the 360 element is absolutely fantastic. the artist's works are transformed, the one issue it has is, becoming stunning moving images that i can't actually walk anywhere, so if i go forward i'm not are projected onto 10m—high walls. they suggested that this truly adds a new depth in europe a person actually going forward should always be told in the virtual world, when they are interacting i'm just likely to to van gogh's work. with an algorithm. walk into something. you really feel you've been opting for the samsung gear did mean some physical limitations compared earlier this year the vatican to other vr systems. transported into his paintings. partnered with microsoft to offer we did our original tests an international prize on ethics on an oculus, and we used a vive and artificial intelligence, with pope francis as well, and we found quite an emotional meeting the compa ny‘s president, brad smith. that to actually animate something people experience, i have to say. could see and walk around, you couldn't actually get those behind the exhibition are also the graphics to high hoping that it will help to make quality unless you had a supercomputer with an air—conditioning unit fine arts more accessible, attached to it, and a cable. drawing in younger audiences who can so what we realised was, interact with the projections and appreciate the masterpieces we should be thinking in a new and more modern way. thejudge will also focus of the end user. on the ethics of ai first, another surprising at its meeting next year, as it continues to explore the relationship between humans instance where an old and emerging technologies. the vast number of people

a conversation which could not only who are going to be watching this, affect our future of work, institution meets new technology, hopefully, will be people watching but also shape what it on screen on the tv. defines us as human so we were looking for beings. a way to use those final this time courtesy of the vatican. graphics as the graphics that our contributors see. so the best way we found to do jen copestake has been hello, and welcome that was to create 360 investigating how the church to the week in tech. is influencing robotic research. it was the week that wraparound vfx which could be pretty authorities in the uk announced high quality and play on a samsung, proposals for a new regulator for online and social media just in a headset. platforms to protect citizens from so—called robots. these days they seem "online harms". this actually gives an idea of what open plan to be everywhere. wikileaks founderjulian assange could feel like. from badminton courts... was arrested by police in london after ecuador withdrew his asylum. revamping your home with the help and facebook announced of a spot of vr is not ..to restaurants... changes to how its algorithm handles the profiles exclusive to a tv show. ..to monasteries... of people who have died, you can do it with one to prevent friends of these and one of and relatives getting notifications about these. ..and factories. birthdays or events. a commercial drone delivery service planner 5d is just one example they're augmenting our lives has been cleared for takeoff in various helpful ways. of an app that can do that, with many countries facing in the australian capital city and would the android version of canberra following an 18—month trial. you can use a headset. an ageing population, operated by alphabet subsidiary it's pretty simple wing, the drones will deliver food to set up a project, and drink and over—the—counter although it is quite time—consuming issues such as elderly care chemist products. the drones are only allowed to fly and access to doctors in daylight and must be 16 feet are being taken on by roboticist. above humans while flying. putting in all the details. supermarket giant walmart is to deploy autonomous machines across thousands in policing and even warfare, of its stores in the us. autonomous systems are rolled out first of all, you need for police cars and drones. featuring self—operating floor cleaners, shelf all your real measurements. scanners and loaders, you can even choose and pick—up towers, the devices what the floor‘s going to look

an opportunity to shine alongside more well—known triple—a blockbuster titles. one of the star attractions here is japanese professor hiroshi ishiguro, the creator of extremely humanlike robots. kicking off the festival, egx rezzed is an event packed with as much information as the big brand blockbusters. i am a humanoid. this is a mixture of football i am a copy of professor ishiguro. and a first person shooter, he has used them before to speak and you may think those things go together like fish fingers at his place in conferences but this time he has come in person. and custard, but after playing for a short amount of time you will learn that flying robots punting the ball down the pitch would probably improve things in the premier league. get that ball away from my goal... back of the net! developed by dundee based studio earthbound games, the team behind axiom have plans to turn this fusion of football and flying machines into a spectator sport. it is notjust designed to be played, but to be watched as well. the streaming aspect of games has become huge over the past five years, so we believe over the next stage of spectators, will be interactive spectators, interacting in the way

they would if they were at a live football match, for example. this collection of seemingly unrelated objects as a preview of the weirdness that is about to come when playing vr game a ton of feathers. there is still something i don't understand... you have constructed a set up here that uses some crt monitors, what looks like an old tape deck, and a cuddly toy. i wanted to create a spectacle for people watching. he was the last human we had... also, i want to leave people with something to take away from the whole experience, so the soundtrack of the game is processed through a tape deck with an audio cassette tape for the output, so people can take home a little cassette tape of their custom journey throughout the game. time to try it out. the game has a story of sorts, a mystery about a serial killer. you all are right in front of me, as clear as day. it quickly becomes less of a mystery

to solve and more of a pixelated psychedelic journey, exploring what a game actually is. remove the plug behind you. it is like an 8—bit nightmare thought up by david lynch with help from max headroom. there is a parting gift, my audio recording of the whole experience. now all i have to do is find a tape deck. remove the plug behind you. it is like an 8—bit nightmare thought up by david lynch with help from max headroom. there is a parting gift, my audio recording of the whole experience. now all i have to do is find a tape deck. across town, here at somerset house, the now play this exhibition explores the potential of gaming technology. everybody who knows anything about games knows that this is a nintendo entertainment system, so—far—so—mid—80s gaming platform. but a closer look at the controllers

reveals that they've had all their buttons removed except for one. so, how are we expected to play games on this with just one button? well, with a little help from up to eight friends. each controller has just one button that performs a different function. run left, run right, jump, so on. in order to complete a game a group of people must work together. about ten years ago in 2006, there was a forum post in the accessibility forums, and moderators there for different accessibility groups were wondering what the history of videogames would look like if they were one switch, accessible to folks with limited manual dexterity. the first post in the thread was a nintendo entertainment system controller with one a button. so i wanted to make that image real

and see what happens to play. suddenly, tetris is notjust about fitting blocks together the right way, it is about deciding, as if by committee, where to put the blocks. so everything becomes multiplayer. you might not expect to find karaoke at a games event, but malapropic karaoke raises the art to new levels. the machine plays popular tunes but randomly generates lyrics, which though completely different from the originals, should still more or less rhyme. another demonstration that we should always challenge our preconceptions of what we consider to be a videogame, even if that challenge is not easy listening. throughout this programme we have been looking at how the traditional has been given a technological reboot, and to finish things off, it doesn't get much more traditional than sushi injapan, but even there, stephen beckett has been finding out

how ai has been lending a helping hand to the raw ingredients — i.efish. japan's diet is often hailed for one of the reasons behind their world leading life expectancy. but with people living longer and birthsjust not keeping up, finding enough people to filljobs is a growing crisis in the country. we are on our way to see kendai university's fish farm. around 12 million red sea bream are born and raised here every year and they make their ways onto the japanese dinner plates. fishing is an ancient industry here in japan, but around here they are starting to do things a little differently. you can start to see a few of the sea bream appearing now. these fish live in these

ponds for about two years and then they are sold to other fish farms around japan, where they raise them even more, and eventually they are sold to restaurants. what do you think, have they had enough? it might seem serene here, but once a year things get a bit busier. during sorting season, all the fish have to be taken out of the ponds to be sold, a manual process that requires teams of workers. workers who are becoming increasingly hard to find. in just a few days they need to check millions of fish, and to do that it is crucial that production line runs at peak performance. until now this has been the responsibility of this guy, whosejob it has been to regulate the flow using this dial. too slow and they won't check all the fish, too fast and they are likely to get overwhelmed. it might sound simple,

but here only the most skilled workers are given the controls. well, the most skilled workers are now a new automation ai. the ai worker has been trained to recognise and count the fish as they come through the pump, meaning it can regulate the flowjust like it can regulate the flowjust like its human predecessor. translation: from dawn to dusk, somebody had to adjust the number of fish supplied, so we had to place a highly skilled person in that position all day, but this system allows us to relocate the person to do other work. the team claim that the ai worker is 90% as accurate as a human worker. while it is not perfect it is good enough to get hired. behind the scenes, the software is running on microsoft's cloud computing platform. it's one of many companies like google and amazon cashing in o the idea of an ai future. what is really interesting here is just how easy ai is to use now. ai is available in the cloud and it is kind of plug and play. it is the democratisation of ai. so as you might expect, we are seeing ai being used in the manufacturing industry,

the retail industry, but also primary industries like aquaculture and agriculture. the explosion of cloud services means even the most remote parts of the world can access specialised computing power like this. elsewhere on the farm they are exploring other ways to automate this traditionally hands—on process. internet—connected sensors are already monitoring the environment in the tanks. the hope is that in the future this data could be used to better care for the fish. kendai university is getting the immediate benefit of removing some mundane tasks such as regulating the speed of the conveyor belt, but the data collected can be used for many things. to analyse the environment, the growth of the fish, so it can lead to better quality and higher yield. only one job so far has been handed over to the machines, but next they are looking at whether the more complex task of checking and sorting the fish can be done by automation as well. doing that would mean more jobs can be replaced, which injapan is essential to

solving the looming worker shortage. it feels like ai is getting pretty good at solving problems like these and it is probably a matter of time before we are seeing it all over the place in similar situations. but we are still yet to see any of those massive industry—shifting ideas become a reality. it feels like this isjust the beginning. that was stephen beckett injapan, and that is it from us here in paris. don't forget that we live all across social media. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. hello, after a chilly start to the weekend, if anything during sunday it

will feel a bit colder. of course it always helps if you get to see some sunshine, and most of us did at some stage on saturday. but for sunday there is expected to be more cloud building up and the east—south—easterly wind will be a bit stronger too. all that comes after a frosty start, and a good few degrees below freezing where we've had clear skies overnight, and away from any breezy conditions along north sea coasts and this weather front in north—western parts. this is a different flavour to the weather on sunday. more cloud around and some of us seeing a bit of rain. it is a frosty start for some, particularly where you are in the blue. we can see the effect of the cloud on the west, keeping temperatures up a little and breezes coming along north sea coasts. lots of early sunshine to come, but the cloud is expected to build. in terms of catching a shower, early showers should fade and we may catch some in north—east england, a few more towards eastern scotland, wintry on the high hills. remember that weather front? here is the cloud and patchy rain from that. the isles of scilly, parts of cornwall and pembrokeshire, the further west

you are, in northern ireland. the breeze is stronger. average speeds across western parts, you could get some gusts in excess of a0 miles an hour. more cloud, more wind, that will make you feel colder. really, these temperatures are already struggling for the time of year. now, as we go on through sunday night and into monday morning this weather system to the west really doesn't want to move. the closest you are to it, the more cloud there is around, still the chance of seeing outbreaks of rain, maybe still the odd shower clipping parts of eastern scotland, but most places stay dry. away from the west, not as much blue, not so much in the way of frost. still a chilly start for many of us on monday morning. early sunny spells, again, some cloud expected to build. most places will stay dry. still getting some outbreaks of rain into parts of south—west england, wales and northern ireland. a few showers running into eastern scotland. still decidedly breezy on monday. temperatures may be a degree also higher. it is beyond monday when we are expecting more significant changes in our weather. still patchy rain in western parts on tuesday.

low pressure to the west and high pressure to the east. the position of the weather system is changing slightly. we start to draw in warmer air from the south. this is all about the feel of the weather. but also, to some degree, the look as well. once we get rid of any patchy rain across western parts as the week goes on, increasing warmth and sunshine in time for easter.
