a destroyed city. in the signs of bias starts april eleventh on d.w. . could offer official intelligence that will be doing my job. and what about designers doctors and bus drivers will they i assume do they have work made advances are currently being made in ai technology and experts say it will radically transform the way we work could we all lose our jobs or is that just paranoia talking that's i want topic on shift today. the mckinsey global institute predicts that up to three hundred seventy five million people may lose their jobs to computers and robots hello i'm an ai t.v. presenter say whatever i'm programmed to say i'll be taking over from here.

it looks like i can pretty much already do my job this rubble present was developed by china's shin who are a news agency and is modeled on a real t.v. host the advantage is this fellow never makes mistakes and never gets tired which saves money. i could take a bunch of different jobs today seventy one percent of all work to ask is still performed by humans with machines doing the other twenty nine percent but a study by the world economic forum estimates that by twenty twenty five the majority of tasks could be performed by machines and some jobs have already been automated to date. if information desks. new language with a virtual instructor. these are just a few examples of areas where. replacing human. artificial intelligence
4:18 pm
has made huge leaps forward and is ideal for doing repetitive jobs. at the university hospital doctors analyze patient data. and helps to identify. the technology itself learning it uses millions of other example images to assess whether it's. not it helps reduce the number of operations that aren't strictly necessary doctors seem to welcome the technology. artificial intelligence isn't replacing us on the contrary. soon we'll be using these systems much more than we ever heard of the past. effectively be serving us and helping us bring together millions of individual datapoints. companies meanwhile.

screen job applicants the program analyzes candidates facial expressions and changes in their voices using algorithms. this gives employers additional information on which they can base their decisions. in the course of about a twenty or thirty minute interview we can collect one hundred thousand. data points about your voice the vocabulary use your intonation and your facial expressions and correlate all of that to success in a job. is siding if i'm a suitable candidate for a job spooky stuff but what exactly is official intelligence boyscout can tell us he's a researcher at the german research center for intelligence advisors german parliament on the subject and is an expert on all things. he says there is not one single form of artificial intelligence instead the term refers to all instances

where software performs intelligent costs that used to be performed by humans. like human intelligence there isn't a general artificial intelligence which going to solve various challenges instead what we have various different ai systems. and there's a complete go. well a forth can control an insulin pump trained with different data sets and uses a different technology. out there are two kinds of artificial intelligence referred to as strong and weak strong ai is basically capable of doing anything a human can this is the kind that worry some people and let the imaginations of hollywood directors fly we're currently nowhere near developing strong ai ai on the other hand one particular skill like the ability to recognize images are major progress has been made recently. ok so there are different types of
4:21 pm
ai strong ai which can perform any tasks humans can but we haven't developed technology of those advanced yet and then this week which simulates human cognitive function like judging someone's mood by analyzing their voice one way of teaching week ai systems is machine learning. used in the workplace is usually a type of machine learning software meaning it can teach itself using data sets or experience. to recognize the number nine it does this by breaking the image down into individual pixels each pixel has distinct characteristics the neural network analyzes these and compares them with other and readjust itself until it reliably recognizes the great progress has been made a machine. system recently managed to be the world's best player in the complex chinese board game. that system used to machine. learning with neural

network. neural networks are mathematical computer structures that mimic the human brain. the mathematical nodes are called neurons. arranged in various layers which are interconnected. networks are specially suited for recognizing passions and large datasets helping perform repetitive tasks these systems learn through experience and adapt accordingly. so not so easy to understand how a neural networks work to put it simply if a network wants to analyze something it breaks it down into its parts for example for a neural network to understand the difference between apple pie and cheesecake it will first look at the recipes and study the ingredients or parts of both and find out what differentiates the two. this is known as pattern recognition and has

nothing to do with creativity but speaking of creativity the french. thinks could make the emergence of thought if you're going to change our lives. for all of us on the planet but also for we have to admit that in the next in the next ten years algorithms. will be able to create music or your novels or even movies and we should not be this is. the picture roman lipski is also keen on ai. he uses software that analyzes and reinterprets his works. the machine learning system deconstruct his works and then rearrange them. lipski uses the ai main images as inspiration and sometimes incorporates them into his new pieces. the movie and marketing industry is experimenting with ai as well this car

ad for example is based on a script generated by i.b.m.'s watson computer system the program was fed award winning ads for cars and luxury products along with that on the japanese carmaker and the project that was the input what came out is an emotional clip in which the car narrowly escapes destruction. of the director of the ad was still a human namely the award winning filmmaker kevin macdonald i think we all like to flatter ourselves as human beings that we have a unique way of understanding the world that could ever replicate and i think it's going to be very interesting things that make us laugh and make us cry. it's actually been created by computer. designing it's got to be a highly creative task the software company autodesk which creates programs for architects and designers is currently to. program called generative.

understanding of what works. which are very very light. impressive stuff but with thousands of design ideas count as genuine creativity and how do we even define creativity that's a tricky question just like trying to figure out whether make our working lives easier or just make our jobs disappear. are divided on the issue. the dystopian take on ai goes like this companies will invest in ai systems these systems will grow increasingly powerful gradually they will take over. fewer and
4:26 pm
fewer companies will survive and unemployment will skyrocket the welfare state as we know it will cease to exist. the more optimistic there isn't sounds like this will do all the burdensome boring and onerous jobs for us we'll have more time for creative pursuits and for social work finally nurses and teachers look at the respect they deserve plus we'll have loads of free time to enjoy. if machines can start doing let's say repetitive or dangerous or unpleasant jobs then we as a society should start thinking about where people are needed precisely because they are people in kindergartens in the health care sector and hospitals in n.g.o.s or to help refugees integrate into society i think the digital age is giving as a fresh start so to speak it's allowing us to really decide how to organize and distribute work in society. could be a gift for us. and i will definitely transform the workplace nodes to
4:27 pm
varying degrees in particular it will take over jobs that are physically demanding and repetitive as well as some creative jobs but do we really want that a recent poll shows that many germans are skeptical about ai in the workplace seventy six percent say it's unclear who is liable when screws up sixty eight percent fewer jobs could be scrapped and sixty six percent of respondents said the human eyes work. but those questioned also see some advantages forty eight percent believe i will allow humans to focus on more important tasks thirty four percent think ai could help cut working hours and twenty three percent say it will reduce human arrows and i use a very powerful tool but it's not going to solve all of our problems just like it's
4:28 pm
not going to take down the world the important thing is to figure out the match between where the technology needs and what the technology is capable off we as a society need to decide where we want to see a i applied before businesses make a bad decision for us some jobs will disappear but new ones will emerge because we'll need people to program and control ai systems what do you make of ai. tell us on facebook or on d.w. dot com see you next time good bye. it's a long running dispute spain's government wants to rebury francisco franco's remains the former dictator's mausoleum is to be a high supposedly

a show. for some it's an honor. for others it's an overdue step in the right direction. a country divided then has never spent on stars of the past next on g.w. . who holds the power in germany we asked voters. the corporations capital the ones with the money what do lawmakers think about voter opinion magnums. punctuations big business and the business leader those of us with money have to get the ball we are the state who holds the power in this land of inequality in the forty five minutes but believe. me i'm not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am but less than nothing with the talent to do the job and think deep into the general culture of. new

jersey will take this grandma down to you because it's all out there enough time rachel join me for me to get on the gulf coast. the value. is a memorial that houses the tomb of spanish dictator francisco franco the site has become a shrine for a nationalist and right wing is. a long slow but it's a fascist monument a metaphor.
