defining. josh taylor lost for the first time in 20 professional fights. and has now relinquished all four of his world titles. the scottish fighter was beaten by america's teofimo lopez, who's the new wbo super—lightweight champion. taylor — who had already vacated three of his belts — started strongly in new york. but lopez grew into the fight and ultimately had too much for taylor in a brutal contest, won on a unanimous points decision. taylor says he'd consider a rematch, but might step up a division to welterweight. i prepared to the best of my ability, so, no excuses. he was better on this night tonight. yeah, it is what it is, but congratulations. i thought it was a close fight but that 117—111, there is a lot, i'd love to do it again. with three weeks to go to the tour de france defending championjonas vingegaard looks to be hitting top form atjust the right time — he's won the week—long criterium du

he's already made himself favourite for yellow in the tour this summer. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. bringing you some breaking developments now in regards to nicola sturgeon, the former first minister of scotland was arrested and then released without charge pending further investigation into the investigation of finances with regards to the scottish national party. nicola sturgeon has written a short statement on twitter sing to find myself in the situation that i did today, i am certain i have committed no offence is for the shock and deeply distressing.
6:43 pm
referencing the ongoing investigation which is difficult for people and prefer that so many continue to show faith in me and appreciate that i would never do anything to harm either the scottish national party of the country. nicola rights... nicola writes... that was nicola sturgeon writing on twitter following those developments that saw her an agreement which saw

them submitting themselves to be arrested in the net investigation of the inquiries, she has been released without charge and all surrounding the investigation of finances and the investigation of finances and the scottish national party which previously saw her husband and also another member of the snp arrested several weeks ago we have plenty of coverage on a website and there is a live page on the bbc news website and also the app on bbc news. but for now, stick with the slime bbc news as it is time for click.
6:45 pm
for some time, artificial intelligence has been all around us. you may not have noticed it but your services, social media feeds, the maps under smartphones, they've all been steadily improving their performance. for some time artificial intelligence has been all around us. you might not have noticed it, but your video streaming services, social media feeds, the maps on your smart phones, they've all been steadily improving their performance because the computers behind them have been learning. and then last year, something important happened. yeah. ai got human — or at least it felt like it did. companies like google and open ai started showing off stunning photorealistic images
6:46 pm
like these, all created by ai from short text descriptions. and then ai started having conversations with us. they were starting to generate stuff that felt human. this field of generative ai seems to have exploded so quickly. chat gtp is the single fastest—growing application chat gpt is the single fastest—growing application in human history. and it keeps getting better. the latest version, gptli, even seems to be able to look at a picture and work out what would happen next. and just look at what the latest ai image generators can do. notjust still pictures, but remarkably good videos as well. this short film was created by one user simply by typing carefully worded text descriptions into his phone. i think the reason many people are now paying attention to ai is that it's finally behaving like the ai we were promised in the movies — computers that we can chat to and that are doing humanlike things. and that's why it has created a really emotive response in a way that none of the ai built into the device all around us ever managed to. and that's where the danger lies, because if it behaves like a human, its reasonable to assume that it thinks likea human.
6:47 pm
but it doesn't. you know those predictive text functions on your phone? well these try to guess the most likely next word in the sentence based on what you have typed so far. and in really simple terms, that is what these chatbots are doing. they have read millions and billions of sentences online and they have learned what a good sentence looks like — that's why they sound so human, the sentence structure is really good, but there is no guarantee that they will get the facts right, because they don't understand what they are saying. and image generators don't understand what they are drawing. for example, microsoft's bing app now uses the dali image generator. i asked to draw me my initial made of liquid metal and it made this. pretty decent. it then said would you like me to add some sparks to it,
6:48 pm
and i said why not, and it turned it into this. imean... where did the s go? the reason is it doesn't know what a letter s is. it doesn't think like a human, it doesn't understand anything. but ai generators like mid journey can do wonderful and weird things. and that's the main weakness here and why we can't trust it. if ai can create anything, then how do we know what's real? i don't think the pope ever went out dressed like this. but if we use it wisely, there is immense possibility. it can crunch data like no human can, and never has that been more important than in healthcare, as mark cieslak has been finding out. june works as a healthcare assistant. she knows how important breast cancer screening is. i see you've had previous surgery before? yeah that's clear.
6:49 pm
today, june is having a low level x—ray, or mamogram, performed. it's part of a local breast—screening programme called emini. so we are running this ai as well to see whether it is able to pick up cancer as well as humans can, and we see these little white dots that the ai is slightly suspicious. we would want to do a biopsy on that recommended, especially because you have had a previous history of it. a biopsy will be performed, removing a small sample of body tissue and sending it for further tests. here at aberdeen royal infirmary, june's scan has been reviewed by ai software as well as human clinicians. dr gerald lipp demonstrates the process using anonymized scans. so what we see here now, we have a lady who has mammograms on her left side and right side, you are looking for differences. there is a lesion in the left breast here, and of course this is something you would expect a human being. you can just tell there is something different in the pictures there, and if you click on this ai button, it circles an area to check.
6:50 pm
but the main area of most concern is this area circled here, where the cancer is on the left side. in screening, you want to pick up things that are small before they become big. programmes like this one identify breast cancer in roughly 6 in 1000 women. radiologists, known as readers, examine patient scans for signs of cancer. on average, these human readers scrutinise 5,000 mammograms a year. 250—300 patients will be called back, and 30—110 of those will require closer attention. and there is a chance that with that number you could miss cancers. within the rules that national screening council have given us, we are not allowed to use the ai automatically as part of the process as yet, so we are using the ai as an extra check at the end of our reading process. in 2016, a private company, keyron medical technologies, began training an ai model called nia using hundreds of thousands of medical scans.
6:51 pm
itsjob — to identify breast cancer. until now, this ai has been intended as an assistive tool for use by two human radiologists. it has become the foundation of the technology being used in aberdeen. the health service is experiencing massive staff shortages. i think the goal of this evaluation is to see what's the best way we can work with al where there is replacing one of the radiologists, where there is part reading some of the normal mamograms, or where there is to improve our cancer detection as a safety net. screening programmes are crucial for improving patient outcomes. for now, medical staff are still the first line of defence in protecting against breast cancer, but ai is likely to play a significant role in future life—saving efforts. that was mark showing us how ai in healthcare can be really useful. but on the flipside, when it comes to ai being used to generate things like art, it can be problematic. yeah one of the big issues being copywrite.
6:52 pm
i mean, who should own the images that al creates? it's something that ben derico has been investigating. ai art has taken a massive leap recently. i mean this one sold for over $100,000 at auction at christie's in 2018. with image generators like dali, stable diffusion, almost anyone can create a new art in a matter of seconds. but the models that makes this art don'tjust do it out of thin air. they have learnt to mimic styles, even specific artists, through a process called training, where the models injest millions, sometimes billions of images, scraped from websites all around the web. combined with text describing the images, they now have a data set that let's them create almost any type of image from a simple text prompt. it produces some interesting stuff, but the problem is many artists never gave their consent for their art to be used in an image generator like this. so what should artists do?
6:53 pm
so we have seen art theft before. we have never seen it at this level. this is karla ortiz, she's concept artist in san francisco. a concept artist is a person who provides the first initial visuals to what something could be in something in a movie. she has designed art for magic: the gathering, and even in marvel�*s doctor strange movies. last year, she discovered last year that her art had been scraped into an ai image data set. especially my fine artwork, and that to me felt really invasive, because i had never given anyone my permission to do that. on midjourney, another popular generator, it's incredibly easy to find posts using karla's name to generate work that looks incredibly similar to hers, and the same is true for dozens of other artists online. so earlier this year karla and a group of other artists filed a class action lawsuit
6:54 pm
against stability ai and a group of other ai image generators. in the meantime, karla made the decision to take her work off the internet wherever she could. this is professor ben chow, from the university of chicago. he and his lab say they have developed a solution. they call it glaze. at its core, glaze uses the fact that there is this ginourmous gap, difference between the way humans see visual images and how learning models see visual images. because we see things differently, glaze can make changes that are almost imperceptible to the human eye, but that dramatically alter how a machine sees it. so, if you are an artist, you glaze your art, post if online, you can rest comfortable in knowing that a model that is trying to steal your stuff from that piece will learn a very different style that is incorrect, and when it is trying to mimic you it will fail, and halt these attacks early. as you can see, the ai artwork generated from a piece the promise of glaze is exciting for artists, but critics say the ai art generators are taking inspiration the same way a human does —
6:55 pm
by studying other pieces and learning from them. crucially, they say, these aren't copies. that's lead the companies being sued to ask for the case against them to be dismissed. karla says though that's not a good comparison. i don't see one image, let alone billions of imagery, and instantly like archive it in my mind, and then i'm able to generate exact copies or similar copies in the blink of an eye. some artists said they would be willing to use their work with al image generators, but they say the process should be opt in, not opt out. when peoplejump in on these and say "oh, this is, wow!", we need to recognise that it is "wow" because of the work that is taken, and all of that work was taken without their consent to use, to train these models so that they can generate that stuff that makes people go "wow". ai art is likely here to stay — so pressure from regulators, input from artists and an informed public will be crucial to make sure these revolutionary tools are built alongside the people
6:56 pm
who helped make them possible. thanks for watching and will be back next week. hello there. it's been another hot and humid day, but we are starting to see the signs of a change for the latter stages of the afternoon. the shower clouds are brewing and the heat has not been quite as widespread as yesterday. we've seen some stubborn cloud and showery rain into scotland, some sharper showers developing down into the south—west over the last few hours.
6:57 pm
and you can see the first signs of those thunderstorms now starting to break out. i suspect over the next few hours, those thunderstorms are likely once again to become more widespread, particularly across england and wales, to close out our sunday evening, probablyjust in time for an evening family barbecue, i'm afraid. so we could also see more persistent rain moving out of dorset across gloucestershire and up into south wales. here we could have a couple of inches of rainfall on top of those thunderstorms as well to look out for may well lead to some localised flooding in places. so that rain clearing slowly away from south wales, it stays misty and murky down to the south—west we keep some cloud into northern scotland, but elsewhere once again it is going to be another uncomfortable, humid night for trying to get a good night's sleep, with overnight lows in london only for around 17 or 18 degrees. the south—west starts off cloudy and murky, but there will be lovely spells of sunshine again. another hot and humid affair for most of us, and that once again
6:58 pm
with the humidity is going to spark off some sharp potentially thundery downpours into the afternoon. so you can see quite widespread these showers across england and wales on monday. northern england should be largely fine with just a few isolated showers, a few isolated showers to the west of northern ireland. and there will be some drifting and making their way across scotland as well. in terms of the feel of the weather, we are still going to keep that humidity for the early part of the week. so mid to high 20s, quite widely across the country on monday and potentially into tuesday. and that as we've had quite a hot weekend, is the threshold for heatwave conditions and it's going to stay pretty warm through the night as well. there are indications of something just that little bit more comfortable as we head towards tuesday. so if you're trying to plan your week ahead, i can tell you the beginning of the week starts hot and humid with the risk of thunderstorms. a little bit later on, though, a little less humid, sunny and staying dry.
6:59 pm
live from london. this is bbc news. former first minster of scotland nicola sturgeon says her arrest was a shock and deeply distressing. and she is innocent of any
