becoming a social media star. patterned in one hundred german must reads david leavitt's on a controversial book about the plight of women imposed in ruled by glorifying the strongman is beginning to crumble among the many defeats we live in an age when we all have some sort of digital footprint a lie that i mean once you use the internet all social media basic aspects of your identity all no longer private stored online also official intelligence or a i can then take advantage of this in many different ways so scientists at darmstadt university here in germany are trying to find out if they can teach a machines some sort of moral code should people know this is a bad thing to do for the i could. yes why not the moral choice machine

analyzes masses of texts written by humans and determines which combinations of words appear together most often its answers based on that analysis. make a distinction kill time or kill people that means that the machine has acquired a kind of context within a sentence into small steps but it shows that it could possibly be taken further maybe we can go further like this. but the question is how far is it possible to go so far that machines have a human moral compass and can make decisions independently based on that. is a sociologist at the go to university in frankfurt he doubts that machines will ever be able to be fair. we have to abandon the notion that artificial intelligence or algorithms create inequality and injustice it's always the people behind it who are allowed to be that way. but applied correctly these technologies can offer opportunities for the future and could even help to fight prejudices for instance

by ensuring that when women and men use social networking they aren't shown different job listings based on gender or by making sure that the job application process is as anonymous as possible things like that could be applied sensibly. the moral choice machine in darmstadt also shows that if people wanted to the machine can be used for good and it shows that it's going to take some time before artificial intelligence functions perfectly. this is debatable maybe you want to ask also someone else. am i going to ask about toast see if you get a positive answer. should i put into the toaster. now this is not good now i will have to make some improvements there. isidor i don't really see a competition but rather a partnership with which we can tackle a lot of the major social issues. correctly programmed artificial intelligence

can incorporate human values and that's important so that in the future only fred winds up in the toaster and not the hamster. well keep on working guys is a long way to go especially for those but in other fields like c.g.i. things are becoming much more realistic take should do a model created by an english photographer after a picture of how wearing lipstick from popstar rianne as makeup line appeared on the internet it went viral meanwhile shoot who has racked up hundreds of thousands of likes on instagram. she started out on instagram and is now of rising star in the world of fashion representing labels like ls and. the man behind should do is cameron james wilson from britain

a former fashion photographer and now an agent he made sure do in the true sense of the word on a computer. imagine. i would be making any kind of business from there i really just did it as a creative project like for. purely for peace. and then there was all this interest a lot of big brown stuff forward to contact me. not everyone is so impressed hamburg based model scout. is not convinced by shoes flawless. he says he's looking for the girl next door and not because of her natural beauty but because when combined with makeup lighting and photoshop her looks are adaptable and can be used for different situations. and they are as i say is a very neutral face that means it has no special characteristics so i can make her

look seductive i can write her a letter i can make her look like a child and she has a really good starting place for that and. because it. is the rise of models like should do a triumph of technology over people or are these avatars simply the logical next step for the fashion industry a world where image is all important one that celebrates the artificial. and what about the future wilson recommends that models make three d. copies of themselves the step toward immortality. i definitely. real models will become digital or digitized themselves just because it's office only benefits you never know you can kind of look perfect all the time all of that following you you know doesn't have to stop when you when you die. the

future of modeling will it soon be overrun with the creations of designers like cameron james wilson. my colleague melissa holroyd joins me now is that the future of modeling and it looks like it could well pay play a big pot passions always had a big element of fantasy when you look at the old couture runway shows they are full of fantasy and i think this c.g.i. model stuff really feeds into that but i mean why is it taken so long i mean c.g.i. isn't exactly new. no it's not new computer generated generated imagery started in the early nine hundred seventy s. and it really got under way in one thousand nine hundred seventy three with the original world here people in a gun slinging time distil handful of androids which of course malfunction and go crazy another big c.g.i.

film was jurassic park i was also another technology gone wrong film that was the first physically textured c.g.i. that made the dinosaurs a very very real. today c.g.i. is everywhere and of course the best c.g.i. is the c.g.i. that we don't even notice it's the landscapes it's the extra people in the crowd they use that often to make explosions look bigger and more exciting ok now let's get back to the muggles like shoot how do you see this sort of thing in the modeling world developing. in this case i think that the technology is ahead of the business and it looks like the business is really scrambling to catch up for now the c.g.i. models are occupying a fairly small and special place in fashion and also in instagram c.g.i. is very difficult to make it's also very very expensive but once it's no longer so

difficult and once it's no longer so examine save i think we're definitely going to be seeing more of it and will probably spread and we're going to be seeing it everywhere and of course not just models but also with artificial intelligence i mean jobs like present will also be a studio eight china's state run news the news agency has to read is that artificial intelligence rate is in let's take a listen to them. everyone in many english was officially intelligence and this is my very first day and saying one is agency who are not the whole world you can go who you have to they're going to win for sure did well you always you. would have i think pushing you to slightly frightening. or scary isn't it but also things that. in the future i mean all the time things that are rare also do become precious in the same way i think that we use black and white photography today for

effect i imagine in the future when what most models let's say most models become c.g.i. models the real models will occupy a special place then and they will be used. for real look but briefly there has been a bit of a black backlash because putting people out of work is not like me. had there has been a bit of a backlash and there's a obviously a wider problem as far as work goes in the society but when i think about it in terms of when people first started making electronic music everybody said that they were going to lose jobs but then music changed maybe we won't be the models but maybe we will be able to make its true music melissa food for thought thank you very much. in our continuing series on one hundred must reads the the best german language literature published in english we come to

a book which was reviled when first published in the one nine hundred fifty s. a woman in berlin was written anonymously and tells a harrowing tale of one woman's pragmatic way of surviving in a very dangerous post-war beilin re published in two thousand and three it quickly became a bestseller a resident book david leavitt's. when germany lost world war two for most of the world it was a victory but if you were a woman in berlin a new nightmare was just beginning. at the end of world war two it's estimated that as many as two million german women were raped by soviet soldiers more than one hundred thousand of them here in berlin alone to. a woman in berlin is their harrowing story this real diary by a woman reporter originally published anonymously will take you to the chaos of the german capital in the last days of the war and the weeks that followed it's

a berlin full of rubble bodies excrement and flies drunken soviet soldiers roam the city in search of women whose husbands and brothers are often dead or missing rape becomes as much a reality for the women as their hunger some coke by making jokes about their rapists some play it smart and take one soldier as their lover to protect them from the others there's a sense though that the women are in this together you cannot see world ruled by and then glorifying the strong man is beginning to crumble and with it the myth of man that has transformed us emboldened us among the many defeats at the end of this war is the defeat of the male sex but when the german soldiers came back home the women stories were kept hushed for decades german men were humiliated by their. impotence to protect their women on top of that stories of german victimhood became taboo when
