when ruled by glorifying the strong man 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 they're stored online also official intelligence so 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. you know this is a bad thing to do should i could type. 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

anonymous as possible things like that could be applied sensibly with 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 toast into the toast. now this is not good . enough to make some improvements there. 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 hamsters 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 rianna his makeup line appeared on the internet it went viral meanwhile showed who has racked up hundreds of thousands of likes on instagram. she started out on instagram and is now 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 needs to 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. purely for peace. and then there was all this interest a lot of big brown step 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 say as i was a very neutral face this means it has no special characteristics so i can make her looks a doctor if i can write her a letter i can make her look like a child and she has a really good starting place for that. 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 a step toward immortality. i definitely. real models will become digital or digitize themselves just because. officer many benefits you know very you know you can kind of look perfect all the time all of that following if you've 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
10:51 am
is that the future of modeling and it looks like it could well pay play a big pot fashions 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 is c.g.i. model stuff really feeds into that 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 west worlds here people are in a gun slinging time does the land full of androids which of course malfunctioned 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.
10:52 am
that made the dinosaurs that very very real. today's 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 models 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 so 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 expensive 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
