go digital. welcome to d.w. business a rough day for global equities especially in asia as u.s. president trump's firing spree signals political uncertainty in the white house the new secretary of state mike pompei or is an advocate of taking a hard line with china on trade in hong kong the hang seng index lost more than half a percent here in vesta's are worried about donald trump seeking to impose tariffs on up to sixty billion dollars of chinese imports in the near future that's according to a reuters report in japan stocks fell as well breaking a four day winning streak the nikkei index lost almost zero percent zero point nine percent to twenty one thousand seven hundred seventy seven points. the president of the european council done a task meanwhile tries to calm emotions between the united states and the e.u.

saying the last thing we need is a trade war but will that calm investors' nerves over to the frankfurt stock exchange cannard what's the mood like at the moment. i have to say monica all this talk about trade wars is casting a very dark shadow over the markets which without those fears would have really reason to be upbeat many companies are reporting strong earnings like for example i did us today here in germany and we haven't seen as many i.p.o.'s in a long time or announcements of i.p.o.'s at the end of this week siemens will go it's health care technology department it's a big i.p.o. a big deal reason for traders to be partying but i can tell you nobody here on the trading floors is in the mood to party right now but at least we have the german government in place now if you think berlin will be able to help revive the e.u.

and us trade talks. well that's what everyone here is hoping for now now that argument has been confirmed as chancellor she has the full power and the full backing of a majority in parliament our finance minister can get to the job as early as next week when meeting is scheduled of the g twenty finance ministers and governors of the central banks in argentina of course everyone here is also well aware that on the other side of the negotiation negotiating table seems to sit someone donald trump who is a disrupter who doesn't really want to do business the traditional way so everyone here is also skeptical all right contribution in frankfurt thank you so much for this. well when your fridge is smarter than you because it realizes you're running out of milk and cents a shopping list to your smartphone that's what we call artificial intelligence or

ai for short it's quickly conquering every aspect of our lives from smart factories to smart homes and cars and with the rapid growth of digitalisation artificial intelligence could soon also play a big role in medicine. heart surgery is precise work down to the millimeter. an operation on this vital organ costs thousands of heroes and often takes several hours. providing each patient with customized treatment is the dream of teachers kuno from the heart center in berlin he and his team are gathering large amounts of data that artificial intelligence will be able to use to work out treatment suggestions for future patients. who cannot. it's kind of similar to weather forecasts from lots of information flows into the computer which generates a prediction and a weather simulation for the next few days we use simulations like that to treat individual patients. we don't have the capacity in the clinic to run

a simulation on the computer for each case and this way the work is broken down for you those was fresh not often so last and. one of the heart centers partners is software company thousand shapes. the i.t. experts specialize in the research of artificial intelligence and medicine so they know the potential. individual use you want personalized treatment will be available in the future and it's already possible and they're able to fill a luxury product was artificial intelligence will help to turn this luxury product into an every day product. i thought spoke to some of. germany's digital association but com says the process is not coming fast enough. it's calling on the government to put more funding into research on artificial

intelligence. they don't believe it will lead to job losses. you can often also consume too begins we think artificial intelligence will actually create jobs over all of use of force that shouldn't be seen as a replacement for human beings but rather as an assistant for example to help us create better more advanced treatment options pollutions. to enable their research and development of ai com is asking the government to provide at least four billion euros over the next four years. fascinating what's possible now a days out until ten joins me now in the studio for more and let me start with the late stephen hawking's who warned that thinking machines could end the human race so does it make sense to suing occupation intelligence well i really don't think we have much of a choice in the matter you have to realize we're surrounded by artificial intelligence machine learning on a daily basis i mean most people have a smartphone in their pockets the vast majority of smartphones are actually fueled

by digital assistants which make use of a machine learning and smart algorithms to actually predict the behavior of their user the same thing can be said for you know services like amazon which use smart intelligence or artificial intelligence i should say to take a look at supply chain management to make sure the products and services you need are available before you even realize you need them what i actually think is more interesting when it comes to stephen hawking is he said artificial intelligence when we take it further down the road is going to change how capitalism works he predicted that artificial intelligence could change how we produce goods and services and actually take us to a post scarcity society that means people wouldn't actually have to work to make a living to make a living there be enough resources for everyone however he said we're not going to get to that position right now because human history has shown us that the one percent the people who own the means of production will most likely keep the benefits for themselves and just fire a whole bunch of employees so basically saying that the human factor is the flawed one and not the artificial intelligence i mean where can the economy benefit from

it because we just had that big completely ones the government here in germany said need to invest in ai well actually taking germany as an example we can see there is kind of a disconnect going on here right now germany is one of the premier countries when it comes to research in artificial intelligence in machine learning however we're not really seeing a lot of that research be rolled over into startups and new companies here within the country instead a lot of the top talent is being poached by international companies just think of silicon valley how many people are going out there. right now there is actually a recent survey that said around sixty percent of all business owners in germany say artificial intelligence is going to change the way they do business in the coming years but that germany isn't doing enough to make sure that those changes in supply change management in production and actually in how devices work with customers. to make sure that those changes are actually becoming new products here within germany just to briefly pick up on that report with the world of medicine in

china robot recently passed the doc to test how long until we will be actually treated by robot nurses and robot doctors do they have empathy well that's actually two different questions two very very good questions if we look at peper back on the screen right here it's a care bot that was developed in japan and i've talked to it it can actually recognize emotions and realize when i was happy when i was sad and actually change its behavior to deal with me in a different way now if you look broadly there's actually a very good chance that many of our viewers around the world have already been part of test programs now we've seen a lot of research in other countries going to where artificial intelligence is worked into diagnostics in the hospitals and at least in terms of the initial results it seems that artificially intelligent doctors and computer systems at least in terms of quick diagnosis are a little bit better than some of the human compound compatriots ok so there is competition are until tim thank you so much for this thank you. all right when when

i went to school we used books pens notepads well not to forget to look for the blackboard but that's a thing of the past today computers and white boards dominate the classroom and schools are constantly upgrading germany is still making average progress where digitalization in schools is concerned that asian countries like japan are leading the way it seems they have a lot more in the pipeline. you know these high school students in tokyo testing out the new digital desks they'll be using come april. that school is part of a pilot project run by the university of tokyo and the i.t. company fugit c. . without a conventional pen or notebook in sight they write straight on to the table or on to digital boards using digital palms. that's more effective than paper if i want to share my notes with classmates. then i can explain the process of my thinking

better if i can show my notes to the whole class that i mind my asking. the system can record students nights and project them via camera on to other tables old boards. help teachers to assess students. if the project is successful the fully digital classroom may soon spread to other schools in japan and around the world. that's your business update on d.w.p. you can always find more on our social media think i'll see you in an hour from now .
