live from london. this is bbc news. why the man often called the godfather of artificial intelligence has quit his job at google. if quit his job at google. you had if quit hisjob at google. you had 10,000 people if quit his job at google. you had 10,000 people and whenever if you had 10,000 people and whenever one person learn something everybody automatically knew it, thatis everybody automatically knew it, that is how these chat apps can't know so much more than any one person. almost 500,000 sudanese have fled their homes since fighting erupted more than two weeks ago. 100,000 have gone to neighbouring countries. a prominent palestinian prisoner, khader adnanm, has died in an israeli jail after nearly three months on hunger strike. from vintage and sparkling cat costumes, white powdered ponytails, fingerless gloves, and iconic chanel pieces, it must be the met gala 2023 as the stars pay tribute to the late fashion icon karl lagerfeld.

hello, i'm lucy hockings. the man widely seen as the �*godfather of artificial intelligence�* has quit his job at google, warning of the dangers of ai. dr geoffrey hinton�*s pioneering research on deep learning and neural networks has paved the way for current ai systems like chatgpt, but dr hinton says he now regretted his work — and is worried that al technology will flood the internet with misinformation. google responded in a statement saying, "we remain committed to a responsible approach to ai." dr hinton has been telling the bbc how these systems can know so much. the kind of intelligence we're developing is very different from the intelligence we have. we are biological systems and these are digital systems and the big difference is, with digital systems, you have many copies of the same set of weights,

the same model of the world, and all these copies can learn separately, but share their knowledge instantly. so it's as if you had 10,000 people and whenever one person learned something, everybody automatically knew it. that's how these can know so much more than any one person. dr hinton also told the bbc the rate of progress is worrying. right now, what we're seeing is things like gpt—ll eclipses a person in the amount of general knowledge it has and it eclipses them by a long way. in terms of reasoning, it's not as good, but it does already do simple reasoning. and given the rate of progress we expect things to get better quite fast, so we need to worry about that. right now, they're not more intelligent than us, as far as i can tell. but i think they soon may be.

madhu merjia, the artificial intelligence editor for the financial times spoke to us earlier — she said geoffrey hinton�*s resignation from google should be taken seriously. what geoff hinton says should be taken very seriously and i think maybe is more concerning than the things that have come before in terms of warnings from others. simply because of professor hinton�*s position in this area, he is known, as you said, as the godfather of artificial intelligence. he's been a pioneer of deep learning, which is the type of ai that now underpins what we are seeing as consumers in chatgtp and google�* bard, and so on. he's been at the forefront of this type of research, so he knows it better than anyone else, he knows its potentials and its risks as well. so i think this will mark a moment in the sort of race to develop more ai products and you know, people will have to take these risks seriously. let's remind ourselves of exactly what ai is and how it works. it starts with an algortihim — that's a set of instructions

given to a computer — they make millions of choices using rules set by people. this can be used in weather forecasting or driverless cars. artificial intelligence hands more of the power to the computer. that's how it predicts who things like weather systems might move or behave. but it's only ever as good as the data it learns from — facial recognition is an example of when it doesn't always get it right and people can be wrongly identified — that's because machines mimic existing biases in society. industries now want to improve its efficiency. let's get more on this now with our technology correspondent, mark cieslak. why is geoffrey hinton voicing his concerns about al now? hejoins a long list he joins a long list of experts expressing concern about artificial intelligence and their worries about the speed of developments and the

possible effects on wider society. some of those worries centre around what is termed bad actors, autocratic states or criminals using it for their own. and the real concern in the rush to get technologies into peoples hands, we don't fully understand how they work and as a result we aren't appreciating the lasting effects on our lives. fire appreciating the lasting effects on our lives. �* .,, appreciating the lasting effects on our lives. �* , ., appreciating the lasting effects on our lives. �* ., our lives. are there those who say it's too late _ our lives. are there those who say it's too late and _ our lives. are there those who say it's too late and the _ our lives. are there those who say it's too late and the technology i our lives. are there those who say it's too late and the technology is| it's too late and the technology is too late and we cannot rein it in. the tech giants are selling the idea of ai as assistants or copilots or tools that can take the drudgery out of work and tasks we do every day. and again we've seen some very real concerns that these tools could take jobs away from human beings, jobs in the legal profession. lats jobs away from human beings, “obs in the legal profession.�* the legal profession. lots of office work and we _ the legal profession. lots of office work and we are _ the legal profession. lots of office work and we are even _ the legal profession. lots of office work and we are even seeing - work and we are even seeing the creative industries voicing concerns that al could find its way into things like making images for album

tumours and there's quite a lot of ink —— credible cases for it but the dangers the technology poses have to be fully appreciated and that's perhaps something that is not happening right now in the rush to get this kit into peoples hands. mark, thank you so much. more on this later. a palestinian activist has died in an israeli prison after 86 days on hunger strike. israeli authorities said khader adnan had refused medical treatment and was found unconscious in his cell. he was a member of the islamic jihad militant group — which immediately vowed retribution. after his death was announced, the military said rockets were fired into israel from gaza, falling on open ground. yolande knell is our middle east correspondent. tell us more about who khader adnan was. ., ~ ., ., ., ,

to his death? i think this is a reminder— to his death? i think this is a reminder of— to his death? i think this is a reminder of how _ to his death? i think this is a reminder of how strongly - reminder of how strongly palestinians see the prisoner issue, because many palestinian families over the years will have experienced a member of theirfamily being held in an israeli jailfor some period of time, so for palestinians, often the prisoners are seen as being nationalist heroes, heroes of the nationalist heroes, heroes of the nationalist struggle worries for israelis they tend to be seen as people who are convicted of terrorism and they look to those who have been convicted of murder and have been convicted of murder and have blood on their hands. so, really, there have not been too many comments from israeli officials but one of the sensitive issues now is what will happen to khader adnan�*s body. when will it be handed back to his family? a real concern from the israelis will be that his funeral could become a big rallying point

for palestinians and that could kick off a real retaliation. there's already been threats made by islamic jihad, particularly in gaza where it has a stronghold and israel seized islamic�*s jihad as a terrorist organisation. there were three rockets at least fired from the gaza strip when news came through of khader adnan�*s death. they landed in open areas and no one was hurt. but now israeli security forces on a high state of alert and we have seen some small clashes in parts of the west bank after there were rallies over his death with palestinian protesters throwing stones at israeli soldiers who were firing back tear gas.— israeli soldiers who were firing back tear as. ., ~' . israeli soldiers who were firing backtear as. ., ~ . ., back tear gas. thank you so much for “oininr us back tear gas. thank you so much for joining us from _ back tear gas. thank you so much for joining us from jerusalem. _ in sudan, the united nations

is warning that the escalating humanitarian disaster there could force more than 800 thousand people to flee. the un says more than 330 thousand people have been internally displaced, and over 100 hundred thousand have already crossed the border from sudan into neighbouring countries. in the capital of khartoum, fighting continues, despite promises of a ceasefire, and as foreign nationals attempt to flee, a us ship from port sudan arrived injeddah in saudi arabia on monday. there were 300 evacuees on the ship including 100 us citizens. and the final evacuation flights for british nationals also left on monday. those unable to leave by plane, are taking boats. the british government estimates that around 4,000 britons were stuck in sudan — and more than half of them have now been evacuated. 0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams is in nairobi and sent us this update.

the un has warned the numbers could go the un has warned the numbers could 9° up the un has warned the numbers could go up to 800,000 or more if the military situation is not brought under control, so we have concerted international efforts to get the two generals leading these rival armies to sit down around a table or send representatives to sit down around the table and discuss their differences. the un has indicated both sides have nominated people to have that discussion but there are no arrangements yet for a venue or an agenda, so the talks could happen but there's no sign of them happening imminently. the other thing that is happening is that the international community is looking at this humanitarian crisis and

anticipating it could get a whole lot worse, so there are efforts to galvanise the relief effort, to make sure aid starts to flow into places like port sudan so it can be distributed to the places most needed but in order to do that i get it to the places it's most needed, to the people running out of food on the hospital is not functioning properly, the situation has to be brought under control. it is absolutely vital. and as refugees continue to flee the fighting in the darfur region, the un is warning that there's a race against time to support them. 20,000 people have already crossed into chad, the highest of any of sudan's neighbouring countries. many are now living with no shelter and little access to food or water.

the bbc world service's chris ewokor has sent this report from the border village of koufroune. new arrivals from across the border — devastated, shattered and vulnerable. some have managed to bring a few belongings. a few came with their animals and anything to ease the hardship. once again, families from darfur have disintegrated, lost in another spike of violence. 83—year—old ibrahim bashir abrar and his wife have witnessed decades of conflict, but say they can never return this time. translation: the whole village was burned to the ground. - because i can't run away, i was held and brought here for rescue. before they fled, ibrahim's wife was attacked and robbed of all her money on the way to the hospital.

she never got to see the doctor. others have spent years on the move. mahmoud adam hamad and his family say it's the only way to survive. translation: we kept running, dodging the attacks from place l to place until we eventually decided that we had to leave. for a people who have seen relatives killed and livelihoods destroyed in the two decades of conflict, there is huge fear that the crisis in sudan could snowball into another conflict in darfur. many people here say that the authorities who were supposed to protect them, abandoned them. some told me that fighting erupted in their villages and people were being killed. they no longerfeel safe in their communities. it is now difficult for them to contemplate a future in a region prone to crisis at the slightest argument. this temporary camp was only opened last week. there are now 8,000

people living here. the un says they expect 100,000 people to flee here if the crisis continues. the race now is to bring them support before the rainy season. this is very, very much needed because in a few weeks the road to come and assist them will be very, very difficult. 0ur fear today is how many more will come and cross. that's really the issue, in order to be able to have adequate resources to support them all. the people here may have reached safety, but like so many sudanese, their future now lay in the hands of two generals fighting for the soul of a country and darfur is becoming central to the struggle.

this is the live picture of the capital, khartoum and you can see the smoke in the air and we are hearing from the capital that there is still fighting raging between the generals and talk of a trace but all of these warnings now which both of the generals know what is being called a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, thousands of people trying to live the capital as well but still reports of gun battles and fighting happening in the capital. these are the live pictures we have at the moment. we are certainly keeping across what is happening across sudan and we will bring you the latest as we get it and also on the latest as we get it and also on the website as well which is up and running with the latest, so do log on and take a look. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. look at this bay. it is absolutely beautiful today and we have to be

100% sure before we do anything that could damage this beautiful environment. aha, could damage this beautiful environment.— could damage this beautiful environment. . ., ., , environment. a canadian company called planetary _ environment. a canadian company called planetary plans _ environment. a canadian company called planetary plans to _ environment. a canadian company called planetary plans to capture l called planetary plans to capture and store carbon in the waters by pumping in an alkaline mineral called magnesium hydroxide of iron and out film pipe. it's got the community concern but the question remains why here. planetary says after extensive research on potential sites that the cornish coast provides the ideal conditions because the water is shallow and turbulent and the currents keep water near the surface for a long time. a very small trial took place last autumn and the environment agency has asked for more information on the potential impact on this marine habitat, and the climate credentials are under scrutiny. as more questions are being asked, the company's hopes for a may orjune a second trial are looking uncertain. you're live with bbc news. the leader of a kenyan doomsday cult is in court today,

analysts. as a result, there have been calls for energy firms to pay more tax as households face higher bills. the government is expected to agree to give nhs staff in england a 5% pay increase at a key meeting taking place, shortly. they will meet representatives from 14 nhs unions covering all staff, except for doctors and dentists. they will declare if a majority are in favour of the deal. most major unions including members of unison, the gmb have all voted "yes" but unite and the royal college of nursing have voted "no". staying with industrial action, the government has stressed it's made a good pay offer to teachers as thousands of members of the national education union stage another strike. we are outside the department for education in central london and teachers are there behind you, what are they been saying today?

country, because of the cost of living on everything from food to rent two daily basics is going up and teachers say along with other sectors that they cannot afford to live any more with the pay they are all. later on today we will find out exactly how many schools have had to close and i've seen teachers bringing their children are here to this action today because they cannot take the children anywhere else and parents have had to not take their children to school today. louisa, thank you very much, for updating us from central london. sir keir starmer says he is confident former civil servant, sue gray, did not break any rules when talking to labour about a job as the leader's chief of staff. sue gray was offered thejob back in march. the cabinet office will update mps on its investigation into the circumstances around her resignation.

possibly 18 degrees, but typically about ten to 13 for the north of scotland and down the east coast of england. and if you're a hay fever sufferer, you probably don't need me to tell you that pollen levels are high for most today. now through this evening, then a bit of late sunshine through this evening, a bit of late sunshine for southern parts in for northern ireland, the western isles, parts through the night we'll see a few splashes of rain just rolling but colder conditions towards the east, just two degrees for norwich. but colder conditions towards the east — just two thing across east anglia, for instance. through the day tomorrow, similar to today, so largely dry. more sunshine, though, for much of central and southern england, wales and northern ireland too. a little bit cloudier further north. a few light showers in the far north—west of scotland. temperatures again around that east coast about 11 to 15 degrees, but we could see 17 or 18 towards the west again. heading into thursday, that's when things start to change as some fairly heavy showers drift in on an area of low pressure initially for the south—west, edging their way northwards and eastwards. mostly dry for many northern and eastern areas, but a brisk easterly wind developing. so a blustery feeling day, with those scattered showers. mild in the south, 18 degrees

there for london on thursday, but still holding onto slightly cold conditions, just nine for aberdeen in that easterly breeze. into friday then and some heavy showers, perhaps some thunderstorms for a time. a little bit quieter, but then into saturday the next area of low pressure approaches from the south—west. we're going to firm up on the detail of the timing and also the exact areas, but we're likely to see a mix of sunshine and scattered downpours. bye— bye.
