: generative igenerative ai, this field of generative ai, check gpd is the single fastest growing application in human history. and it keeps getting better. the latest version, gp format 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. marcus still pictures but remarkably good videos too. this short film was created by one user simply by typing carefully related 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
12:46 am
all around us ever managed to. and that's where the danger lies, because if it behaves like a human, it's reasonable to assume that it thinks likea human. 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
12:47 am
and it made this. pretty decent. it then said would you like me to add some sparks to it, and i said why not, and it turned it into this. imean... where did the 5 go? the reason is it doesn't know what a letter 5 is. it doesn't think like a human, it doesn't understand anything. 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.
12:48 am
i see you've had previous surgery before? yeah that's clear. 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
12:49 am
an area to check. 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—a0 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
12:50 am
called nia using hundreds of thousands of medical scans. 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. 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.
12:51 am
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. 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 $1i00,000 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
12:52 am
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? 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. 0n 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
12:53 am
and a group of other artists 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 with glaze is similar in content but not really in style.
12:54 am
if you had laid thse out in front of me and said tell me what is different, i would be hard—pressed to tell you. the promise of glaze is exciting for artists, but critics say the ai art generators are taking inspiration the same way a human does — 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
12:55 am
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 who helped make them possible. that is it for the short cut. so much more on the full—length versions for the right and what i player. versions for the right and what i -la er. . ~ versions for the right and what i - er. ., ~ versions for the right and what ila er. . ., i player. thank you for watching. _ i player. thank you for watching, we - i player. thank you for watching, we will- i player. thank you for watching, we will be i i player. thank you for i watching, we will be back i player. thank you for - watching, we will be back next week. see you. hello. sunday was another very warm or even hot day with temperatures peaking at around 32 celsius. that heat and humidity giving rise to some dramatic skies as some thunderstorms kicked off through the afternoon and into the evening. if we take a look back at the radar picture, we can see that we had some storms in northern scotland,
12:56 am
some across northern england, and then this clump of thunderstorms, this quite big organised area of storms that drifted westwards across the midlands towards wales. so as we head through monday, really it's more of the same, more spells of sunshine, but still the chance for some thunderstorms with that heat and humidity, temperatures to start the day between ten and 17 degrees. so a very warm start to the day. quite a muggy start for most, a dry start, but a little bit of rain to clear away from parts of wales, maybe some extra cloud in the far south west and a few showers even from the word go and into the afternoon as the sun heats the land while those big shower clouds will bubble up once again, particularly across parts of southern england into the midlands and wales, some of these thunderstorms could be really quite vicious, with a lot of rain in a short space of time, gusty winds and some hail. western counties of northern ireland, southwest scotland and perhaps more especially the north of scotland, also prone to some of these downpours and thunderstorms. but as ever with these weather
12:57 am
set ups, there will be places that fall through the gaps and stay completely dry. another very, very warm day. temperatures widely the mid to high 20s somewhere could again get to 30 degrees. we will continue to see some big showers and thunderstorms in places during monday evening. many of them fading, though, overnight into tuesday. we'll see some areas of low cloud around some of these western coast. it is another pretty warm night in prospect. and then for tuesday, well, the greatest chance for showers will be found across the western side of the uk. further east, not as many showers, more dry weather, plenty of sunshine. still feeling very warm indeed. highest temperatures at this stage, likely to be down towards the south, up to around 29, possibly 30 degrees for parts of central southern england. as we look deeper into the week, high pressure remains firmly in charge. but as you pick up more of an easterly breeze, well, temperatures will drop back just a little. still, though, feeling very warm indeed. mostly dry with some sunshine.
