it will try and interpret what it can see through this camera in terms of seascapes but if, for example, you were to only feed it images of fire, then my hands would be interpreted in terms of flames. pretty cool, or should i say, hot. learning how an ai perceives the world is an undercurrent running throughout the exhibition, and, with understanding, comes language. this is the waterfall of meaning, and it examines millions of sentences and looks at the way we use words to try and teach itself whether, for example, beer is expensive or cheap, whether it's bad or good, whether it's male or female. if there is an inherent bias in how we use words,
12:46 pm
that will show up the results. ai is just revealed the secret part of human so i think that this is a good opportunity to think about bias, because ai doesn't lie, ai doesn't excuse. ai just reveal everything. so then that's the reason, you know, the bias getting problem. actually, we have the problem already. and that's it for the short cut of click, here at ai: more than human, at the barbican centre, in london. this is alter 3 and it's in no way freaking me out. don't forget the full—length version is available to watch right now on iplayer and you can get in touch with us any time you fancy. we're live on instagram, youtube, facebook and twitter. thanks for watching. and i'm just going to step a little bit further away now. bye.

hello there. we have another day of downpour dodging on our hands. some pretty hefty showers around. it was a grey start as well, this is how it looked for a weather watcher close to dundee earlier on. but for most places the skies have been brightening. we are seeing some sunny spells. with that though, that chance for some heavy and perhaps thundery downpours. low pressure just about in charge of the scene at the moment. that's what's allowing the showers to bubble up. it will be quite hit and miss, some places will get a real drenching, others will stay completely dry and full between all of the showers. and fall between all of the showers. so through the afternoon, some spells of sunshine increasingly developing,
12:48 pm
but that's sparking off some of these heavy, thundery downpours. let's take a closer look, this is 4pm this afternoon. scotland having a brighter day than yesterday. the cloud peeling back westwards to reveal some sunny spells. but a scattering of showers, particularly i think up over high ground. 15 degrees in aberdeen. for northern ireland, holding onto more cloud throughout the day. i think it will be quite late before things start to brighten up here. then for england and wales, we'll see some sunny spells but some of these showers, which will be quite slow moving. and for eastern coastal counties, there is always the chance for some mist and sea fog to lap onto the shore line, making it a bit grey and murky at times. temperatures in the sunshine up to 19, maybe 20 degrees. through this evening and tonight, showers will fade but there will continue to be large areas of cloud floating around. some mist and fog reforming once again. but overnight, temperatures not dropping too far. the mild night actually, between seven and 11 degrees. so we go on into tomorrow, and mild but rather grey and murky stop for many others. the odd spot of drizzle around first thing. through the day we do it all again,
12:49 pm
the skies will brighten, we will see some spells of sunshine but equally some of those showers will break out. the showers most likely across eastern part of the uk so quite a few showers across scotland at this stage. those temperatures still doing quite well in the sunshine, 16 to 20 degrees at best. we look ahead to tuesday. not as many showers at this stage, high pressure trying to build in from the west so there will be more in the way of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, still the odd downpour across parts of scotland but those temperatures again in the high teens, may be the low 20s celsius. looks like another mainly dry day on wednesday, but then the signs are that it'll turn a bit more unsettled again as we head towards the end of the week.

this good afternoon. the prime minister is urging mps to look at what she calls her "new and improved" brexit offer "with fresh pairs of eyes" and to give it their support. writing in the sunday times, theresa may says the brexit withdrawal bill the legislation needed to take britain out of the eu will be a "bold offer". but the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says his party does not currently support the legislation as he has heard nothing which suggests it will be "fu nda mentally a ny different" to what was previously put forward. here's our political correspondent jonathan blake.
12:51 pm
the eyes to the right, 286, the nose to the left 344. three times her brexit deal has been rejected, but the prime minister is giving it one more go. the vote next month is her last chance to win parliament's backing. but how? writing in the sunday times, theresa may has promised a new, bold offer to mps across the house of commons, with an improved package of measures that she believes can win new support. i will not be simply asking mps to think again, she says. instead, i'll ask them to look at a new, improved deal with a fresh pair of eyes and to give it their support. a big promise, but no detail on what the offer will be, the one cabinet minister says there is still room to find agreement with labour. we do in many ways agree. none of us want to remain in the european union, none
12:52 pm
of us want a no—deal brexit, which means logically there has to be a deal, and if there is going to be a deal, the labour and conservatives are about half an inch apart. jeremy corbyn pulled the plug on talks with the government, and now sounds sceptical about labour helping the deal through before october's deadline. i think it's unlikely that it will actually take as much further forward. i think the government has to come up with legislation through negotiation with the eu. at the moment, the extension goes until the end of october, but the idea that they can produce a bill at the beginning ofjune and get it to all its stages by the end ofjuly is very, very unlikely. labour is split on holding another public vote. that won't be part of theresa may's offer, although plenty in parliament will keep pushing for it, even if some say there may not now be time. at the beginning of these european election campaigns, we had time to provide for a people's vote on what happens on brexit. which would take at least five to six months. we now do longer have the time to do that by the 31st
12:53 pm
of october, when we are due to crash out. others fighting for remain votes in thursday's european elections say it is possible if the government allows. if the government is going to bring the withdrawal bill before parliament, then what we have said is that if they attach a confirmatory referendum to it, we will support it. but polls suggest it's the brexit party arguing for an eu exit as soon as possible that is winning the support and another factor piling pressure on the prime minister to get an agreement for her deal, and quickly. jonathan blake, bbc news. and you can find out more information about this thursday's european parliamentary elections on our website — bbc.co.uk/politics. the new national rail summer timetable comes into effect today and train companies say they're making every effort to avoid the chaos of last year's shake—up. but public transport campaigners
12:54 pm
have warned that train companies must have a "robust contingency plan" in case this latest timetable change leads to a repeat of last year's meltdown. our business correspondent, katy austin has more. it's nearly summer, so some train times are changing again. new services are being added each year to provide for an increasing number of passengers and boost the economy. today's timetable shake—up makes space for 1000 additional services across the country, but these changes are on a far smaller scale than last may. then, a huge overhaul of timetables resulted in chaos for passengers on the northern and go via thames link networks in particular. rail operators will be monitoring this summer's timetable change carefully and they said they can respond quickly if there are any problems, adding that extra staff are on hand to support passengers. train companies and network rail have emphasised that they learned lessons from what happened last summer and have been working
12:55 pm
together to put those lessons into practice. they have highlighted the winter changes introduced in december which were also deliberately scaled back as a successful example. but the group representing passengers says those paying to travel deserve this time round to go smoothly. we'll know really by the end of the morning commute on monday, that is the kind of acid test when this is really seeing if it works or not. sunday is a bit of a trial run. monday morning, d—day, really, for commuters. let's see what happens. we will be there watching on behalf of passengers to see what is happening and see how good the information is in particular. last summer's rail chaos led to apologies from the transport secretary and an official enquiry. the disruption is still fresh in the minds of commuters, who will be expecting a far less stressful experience when they return to the network in their millions on monday morning. it's been a weekend of election related news. australia's prime minister, scott morrison, has been celebrating after the country's general
12:56 pm
election. full, official results haven't yet been declared, but mr morrison's coalition is just a few seats short of an outright majority. the opposition labor party, which polls had suggested would win, has already admitted defeat. in austria the corruption scandal that's engulfed politics there has led the country's chancellor to call for snap elections in september. the leader of the far—right freedom party resigned yesterday after a video emerged in which he promised government contracts to a woman posing as a russian oligarch. and voters in switzerland are taking part in a referendum to decide whether to tighten the country's gun laws to conform with eu regulations. all members of europe's open— border schengen area have been told to restrict automatic and semi—automatic weapons since the attacks in paris four years ago. meanwhile the largest election the world has ever seen has taken place in india — where 900 million people
12:57 pm
were eligible to vote. voting ends today, after an acrimonious and at times violent campaign. sangita myska is in delhi for us now. is 900 million voters across 29 states from the himalayas in the north of india right down to the southern tip of been casting their votes over six weeks in seven phases. this has been one of the bitterest most fiercest election battles in decades. why? because in essenceit battles in decades. why? because in essence it is being viewed here as a referendum on the incompetent prime minister. he is a hindu nationalist and his critics say that he has divided india over the last five yea rs divided india over the last five years along caste and religious lines and is moving the country away from secularism. his supporters say he is the best bet for development
12:58 pm
and anti—corruption policies. well, india will decide on the 23rd of may who it wants and we will get those results in and who it wants to govern here for the next five years. many thanks. manchester city's captain vincent kompany has announced he's left the the club to become a player—manager in belgium. the 33 year old led his team to the domestic treble yesterday with victory over watford in the fa cup final. his new role will be with anderlecht — where he began his playing career as a teenager. just in case you — like me — you didn't manage to stay up for the whole of eurovision — here's all you need to know to catch up: # sirens ringing inside my head...# the bookies' favourite, duncan laurence of the netherlands, came out on top. their first victory since 1975. yes!
12:59 pm
australia's swaying performance didn't go unnoticed. # it's like an angel sighing # i have no choice # i hearyourvoice...# the interval act — madonna, but her performance was thought by some to be a little... well, flat. # oh, god, i think i'm falling...# and it wasn't just the queen of pop who left an impression. the organisers said iceland's eurovision act could face punishment after displaying palestinian flags during the live broadcast. # because i can feel the universe # i'm feeling you breathe...# and while the uk's michael rice sang with gusto, he ended up in last place, with just three points from the public vote. # i won't give up
