art on the edge. or talk that global media for some bought. in 60 minutes comedy might be a terrible idea every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word published in the book. rico is in germany to learn german why not play with him a simple online on your mobile and free to suffer from d w z e learning course nikos fake german made. welcome to tomorrow today the science show on d w coming up. current levels of artificial intelligence is it really intelligent or just cleverly programmed. ai is starting to have an impact on health care with apps that can deliver

diagnoses could they replace doctors one day. and the robots are coming artificial intelligence our topic on today's program thanks for joining us. in 1950 computer scientist alan turing developed a test later name for him it was meant to help judge whether behavior and machines could be considered intelligent in 1907 grandmaster garry kasparov faced off against i.b.m.'s deep blue and lost 2011 saw the launch of apple's siri the 1st virtual voice activated assistant. and in 2018 a painting produced by a machine was auctioned off for the 1st time milestones in artificial intelligence but what is it exactly. artificial intelligence the attempt to simulate human intelligence and machines. what's called fall or strong ai is an artificial

intelligence construct able to interact autonomously and logically one having what we would call consciousness for now it's still science fiction weak ai also known as narrow ai is based on algorithms it doesn't require consciousness but operates within a limited predefined range of functions it's already a part of daily life and industry many tasks that are physically demanding or monotonous are now performed by robots also in the field of healthcare where computers now process and analyze vast amounts of data speeding up diagnosis and treatment. and smart homes are set to improve our quality of life thanks to ai based solutions that increase comfort and energy efficiency. but that begs the question what is intelligence exactly in humans intelligence is associated with cognitive ability we are creative able to make plans and carry them out we have the

ability to imagine and awareness we can make decisions and some current ai systems appear to be able to do that now as well but some researchers say it's important to know how those systems are coming to their conclusions are they really making decisions based on human logic here's a story that illustrates how hard that can be to determine. in around the year 900 there was a horse named. he lived in berlin and was very clever. his owner bill him from the us than said hans could do arithmetic. once how much is one plus 3. for clever hans that was easy. for. everyone asked how could it done morse be so smart. nowadays we asked. same thing about machines that learn artificial intelligence is

something of a black box is it truly intelligent a team of computer scientists set out to find out going to and we did some you could say archaeological research into how the various methods in artificial intelligence solve problems are there systematic differences the answer it turns out is yes but those differences were rather surprising. we peered for the 1st time into the black box and what we found was like whoa really. things that no one had seen before in human. miller and wojciech samik found a way to analyze the decisions made by ai assistants in one test they showed an award winning system thousands of pictures. recognized the objects depicted but in the case of the horse images it wasn't the head or the tail but something

not coursey at all that was the decisive factor. the theme how system did identify this as a horse about it focused its attention on the copyright the source of a picture with photo archive at the bottom left the links a bit. using a heat map the researchers showed which part of the picture the ai system paid most attention to. that really surprised us so we took another look at the horse photos in this big data set and found that many of them included just such a copyright notice that's what the system learn to associate with a class horse. felt so. clever hans it turns out may have been quite clever but he couldn't actually do math. 9 times out of 10 he stamped his foot the right number of times. but the psychologist worked out that hans had

learned to interpret human facial expressions and body language they indicated tension and then suddenly relief once the right number of foot stops was reached. here's an ai system that aims to determine age and gender by looking at faces we tried it out. if you smile it thinks you're young. this and the result is we need forty's and mail. in general the system identifies elderly people as younger than they really are. younger. we wanted to find out why this was most of the older people

here were smiling. but if you look at pictures on the internet you know you find that for the most part they look very serious. on the thing so there's a bias in the data which influences the model leading it to infer that all people being always look serious of a mention. in the lab it's fun to play with the system in the real world bias and errors in ai can prove fatal. nobody wants to have a disease diagnosed by a clever hans' if the question is do i have cancer or not it's a matter of life and death you need certainty the ai strategy has to be right. artificial intelligence is already used in many applications are the strategies deployed indeed the right ones. all the many systems we encounter in our daily lives are such that we don't 100 percent understand what

they do. until now there was no way to tell if they were cheating or not. now we've developed a tool which lets people check. they've already tested hundreds of systems and established that hardly any are truly reliable in their decision making this was among the smarter ones it's playing an old computer game it's the same for the system is trying to get the ball to go high to win as many points as possible while avoiding the risk of losing the bullet it's a pretty smart strategy which the system by itself. for comes epstein this clown top. never hunts also developed a clever strategy that he learned all by himself. it just didn't involve doing new songs. it's still far from perfect

but ai is creeping into a huge range of areas in daily life whether in transport logistics or nursing care . on facebook we asked you what tasks would you like to hand over to an ai. lewis would like a robot to help take care of the housework cleaning or doing the washing filling or emptying the dishwasher that would be grand she says. she sang i wouldn't mind a chef robots that could help choose ingredients for meals. ben thinks we need robots in the justice system that are programmed to enforce the law that would help put an end to corruption among the powerful he says and maybe end corruption entirely. and diego writes that ai could help improve management of patient appointments ensuring medicines are taken for regularly and improving medical planning they could also help shorten waiting times in doctors' offices. ai

is already playing a major role in medicine for instance when they feel sick some people now don't head straight for the doctor's office they just reach for their smartphone. or feeling unwell and have a headache so you type you'll sometimes into an out. a machine then talks to you rather like a real doctor after you've answered around 20 questions the machine will come up with a probable diagnosis. called have what it takes to revolutionize medicine . that's what it's inventors hope. that will shorten the safety of all of us i believe that this will alter the doctor's role in certain ways i've spoken to him and worked with many doctors in the past 8 years and my experience is that the best starters are the ones who realize that technology can help them to be even better. for 80 years

doctors and developers created the app based on data from 1000 studies. this is a does result after analyzing the symptoms. on the left of the symptoms which were clicked either yes or no as i did on the right and possible explanations ada comes up with. the green line show the affirmative answers and how strong the argument is for a certain diagnosis. the red line show the symptoms with negative answers and the illnesses this eliminates. the app is being used in countries around the world but diagnoses it provides are mostly correct the accuracy is roughly as high as from real doctors. the app developers are using artificial intelligence to improve the success rate. of the self learning factor means that theoretically the artificial intelligence can learn from the

results the 8 provides and the feedback that users give on whether a diagnosis or an explanation provided by ada was correct but have for us it's important that this doesn't happen automatically but that there are doctors in between who decide whether these changes make sense or not doesn't china. then follow what i mean this way users can't just say stuff that's not correct. so how does it work in day to day life. in jaipur india is one of the 7000000 people who use the app. 2 cities simple language should use simple language so that more and more people can understand it. metabolic diseases like obesity diabetes etc should also be included in it along with their dietary suggestions. in its analysis the app warns the patient that in case of a potentially serious disease they should see a doctor a recess. could be suffering from

a nasal cavity inflammation his doctor confirms that diagnosis most of the symptoms regarding this disease vice being covered by the software that is run very good thing i feel that it is not the placement of the doctor because the clinical examination for the patient is very important but definitely it is a useful tool. the developers hope that eventually that smart system will be able to suggest diagnoses for elements still in that very early stages. i think ai will definitely contribute to longer and healthier lives and in some cases maybe stop diseases from happening in the 1st place that's also it has. to do that the system has to accompany the use of for many years collecting data the app developers emphasize that the data belongs to the user and is only evaluated anonymously but there are concerns the world of medicine means asking fundamental

questions about exchanging personal privacy for higher life expectancy. i'm sorry. i'm afraid i do that. in the science fiction classic 2001 a space odyssey the computer how begins to kill the crew of his spacecraft one by one predictions about where ai is going off and try to fin line between hype and hysteria physicist stephen hawking once famously warns that artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race we asked 2 experts what they think about some of the most popular half truths spread about the field. excuse me he said but that talk to you didn't prime condition. does not appear in science fiction fandom what we see in science fiction films that

do things on their writing and chat with you is really a very very long way off. yet. to wish us but it's an interesting bit of history but in the 1950 s. the term artificial intelligence was adopted for marketing reasons basically to get financing for research into computer simulation of human behavior and human learning and. it was a smart choice of words because it's so evocative 5 days in the clip to view. if you have transport hello everyone in an english artificial intelligence. i think it's always been the case that technological advances change the nature of human work which means jobs we have nowadays might no longer exist in the future. my space on the whole at least in the past more jobs have been generated by new

technologies than has been lost. and jobs. after masses of miserable jobs are being created like paid to click and training system i. believe. there are loads of low paid jobs where people have to watch videos and classify images to teach a system what a cat it's or something like that so being the cuts a bit of what i mean it's real people doing all these jobs and this is known as artificial artificial intelligence but. i figured out there are stories of companies saying when it comes to choosing star for promoting members of staff they want to see what kinds of people have already have successful careers in most companies. i think it. might sound neutral and objective but if it turns out all those people are quite by chance points in mail by and have certain qualities

such as pushy and ambitious and it was on the end then it's obvious that anybody who's a bit different doesn't stand a chance. to have become you know we can program any kind of prejudice into a. ai system here. in washington kind of machine can generate works of art that are considered creative if it were written by a few very famous examples like when an algorithm as fact with the works of mozart and bach order and then produces a new piece of music one that had not existed until. the condiment as you might call that creativity but the project will always be similar to the ones i've been fed to order it would have to go into the realm of philosophy here what is creativity i would say i is not creative. world hunger climate change and other environmental problems aren't a result of our not having had a i till now but they're kind of going to hit him again but which isn't to say that

ai is all rubbish there are some extremely useful applications of those that's come to a minimum number of all. it's really important for us to understand each individual step of the progress made. society needs to address these technologies. of the assumption that you learn a trade or study something that's not no longer holds in a time of rapid technological progress. that we all have to keep on learning so that the systems remain comprehensible and control of. the front end i will mention that fish that there are countries where people are under much more intensive surveillance than they are here. in part to do with the technology that enables it to be scaled up so massively democratic societies need to think hard about what kind of surveillance they want in the end it's the people he makes of rules and it has to stay that way. algorithms now make decisions about

hiring about prices on websites and about what kind of advertising you'll see when you go online in an effort to regulate the field the e.u. has now released ethical guidelines that take human rights and needs into account when developing the ai of the future. development is right what are you going to. do you have a science question that you've always wanted answered it we're happy to help out send it to us as a video text ovoid smell if we answer it on the show we'll send you a little surprise as a thank you cannot just ask. somebody to shoot from india wants to know what is data and doesn't. a material existence. when we talk about data we usually mean information but also what carries at even ancient

cultures produce data egyptian temples are covered and hieroglyphics. the complex symbols describe important events and mythological tales carved into stone they remain to this day. in the analog world we use letters and numbers to preserve knowledge and pass it on and that is the purpose of data. but it only works when others know how to read it but then they work like building blocks letters can be combined to make words which can be used to describe almost anything. with just a few letters and numbers and symbols science can describe complex processors in nature. computers reduce data to just 2 elements every letter number or symbol from the analog world is stored in a computer as

a sequence of ones and zeroes. in the analog world data is recorded in or on matter what we write with chalk or ink a part of that substance remains behind on the data carrier sometimes data is recorded when material is removed like with these were leif's however without the stone columns it wouldn't exist. so how does it work with computers special components transform the input data into 2 different states on and off more than 0. but even this is dependent on a physical data carrier but unlike data on a stone or paper digital data no longer have mass and can be transmitted through wires and cables at the speed. light. satellites are able to transfer data without a cable they use another carrier to transport the information magnetic waves.

but to retain data it has to be saved and this is done nowadays on physical data carriers servers at huge data storage facilities. got a question or want to let us know what you think here's how to get in touch. most people associate ai with robots the idea of future humanoid machines causes a wide range of reactions and their surprisingly dependent on the culture you live in. so would you like to work together with robots or does the idea make you shutter. at being thinks we'll have to collaborate with robots in the future whether we want to or not he says it's inevitable. a i would remind us to rest so we wouldn't be continuously working and it would be nice

if it could entertain us also he'd like one that could give recommendations for newly released books. to my hindoo says of course i don't work with robots because they don't gossip. hi everyone i'm sophia from handsomer but how do you feel about her channel and him. what about this one. the demand for robots of all kinds may well trickle over the next 10 years. if that really happens many are very likely to soon encounter one. so should we be worried about that prospect. after very widely around the world. so you know more studies human rights interaction and cultural differences involved

in the social acceptance of robots. he and his colleagues surveyed attitude in britain germany the netherlands mexico china japan and the united states. it turns out that americans feel most positive about robots followed by the japanese dutch germans chinese and british. mexicans are least well disposed towards them. who look when you look when you. thinking robots are good or bad not only depends on your country but also on your age and. well you know in japan people of all ages like robots. britain young people like them but old people don't. you know so little things so i suspect gender would also plays a role. so it was. all over.

among those surveyed more women than men feel positive about robots. the japanese are the most willing to accept robots that look like people. and are even willing to believe they have human attributes. in local. in japan we have something called animism. and if something looks like a human we assume it has a soul. and you don't find animism only in japan every culture has it in some form . the media and pop culture influence the way people think about an imaginary box in japanese animated films and comics robots like human like in the classic a straight boy for example. or the popular monger and animate dome ghost in the shell. game landing suggested robots might in hollywood movies like i

robot on the other hand the robots look somewhat less like people and tend to turn a measure human masters. and that wraps up our show on artificial intelligence but join us again next week when we'll be looking at the colors and how they influence consumption we'll talk with psychologists and product designers about unconscious mechanisms that help dictate what we buy that and much more next time tomorrow today see that.

i am not very creative yet but i would love to be considered an artist one day. everyone is talking about artificial intelligence and we are too. good computers and algorithms one day surpass them in creativity.

art on the edge. our talk a global media forum from by. 30 minutes on my table ikea. rock-n. me. on. my. sinful ribs downtown by the church. i know the evil feeling that you feel when you think. your past services. are stopped no one is more popular than jesus come look. rock and religion a clash that brings many souls to light. are the 2 really sunk your reconcilable

god devil may and. june 17th t.w. . are fighters want to start families to become farmers or engineers every one of them has a plan of the. summoning is just down the children who have already been there all day and that's you and those that will follow are part of a new kind of. they could be the future of. granting opportunity global news that matters d. w. made from minds. their super shot. very high themselves away super secretive then you'll think like i'm going to further rich definitely around 20000000000 more like. germany's wealthiest people live
