literature invites us to see people in particular. i like to see myself as the kids find strength growth grow. my own objective is to share work and find beautiful. she does these books on youtube. this robot called charlie may 1 day explore the moon. professor. chief executive advisor at the german research center for artificial intelligence which charlie was designed the fastest points out that robots can also have practical applications in everyday life. as the digital technology and
2:31 pm
artificial intelligence are transforming our society more changes are coming i hope that all of them are positive. the support. right now professor vasta is on his way to the research center's berlin office he's going to host an open house event there today. they didn't drop the ball star has spent decades studying artificial intelligence or for short i involves computers that can understand human language machines that can learn and the factory technology of the future. if you tell
2:32 pm
a couple of our senses like these can help track to drivers with the harvest. smog systems allow paramedics to practice emergency procedures. and specially designed walkers can help elderly people stay on their feet i hope i see. it's to be everywhere but i still feel we need to explain more fully to the public i give lectures on this topic quite often. simply simply put ai is an attempt to recreate human intelligence in computers of computer up to be as good as i can help machines and robots adapt to unpredictable situations goals you know 1st but want to go so what's interesting about these robots is that if a technical problem turns up they can heal themselves that's why this is an example of a sense of more toric intelligence into the goodness of this is a cause you know it's similar to the regeneration process and scorpions are
2:33 pm
salamanders if they're attacked and give up their tails to escape they can grow a new one and move on or. if you live by the. name of alltel is testing an intelligent technology device smart glasses that a link to a wristband that measures her stress level is a she is old and lives in berlin she's taking part in studies conducted by the sheraton medical center on how this kind of technology can make life easier for older people. i knew tim let me i guess i'd heard that they were developing a lot of these sophisticated devices so i thought i'd give it a try this people complain a lot about their problems but they don't do anything about it. so i did ah no. the glasses and respond a hooked up to a data network via mobile phone so she gets regular updates in her field of vision
2:34 pm
. this system could be especially helpful for seniors a sensor in the respondent measures their pulse temperature and skin conductivity if the data indicate stress a warning appears in the lens of the glasses. a thought is not particularly impressed with the technology. but one does do i really need this sort of thing glasses that remind me to take my medicine. i thought is now on her way to the medical center she'll talk to the researches about her experiences with the high tech devices and try out some new ones if i can still get around pretty well
2:35 pm
on our own but she's worried that in the future much of the senior cast sector will be taken over by our technology. then maybe if you're confined to your bed and you can't do anything on your own it might be helpful if a robot could hand you a glass of water as i said last night. but i have to be honest when people reach a certain age what they really want is for a nurse to stop by and chat with them about his wrist that. would buy over the devival at the bigs it. so for the moment the shri in the book. marco good loves old fashion technology he also enjoys working with new devices he's an applications engineer and lives in the town of hash file appeared to simon southwest in germany right now he's updating
2:36 pm
his tractor with new digital senses you know what. their rights let's buy new years ago i had a pretty good idea of how technology was going to change our future and now that i can actually use new software and hardware to make those things happen let's cut the next moment a lot of funding. from the list machine that's a lot more to sponsor the space hope the tractor up to a computer. mach i thinks that artificial intelligence could be used with foam acquit meant to create a system that makes smog decisions. if. you haven't done safety although if i just installed some sensors on the 16 year old tractor a lot of hope would that shows that you can update old equipment with new technology from the. artificial intelligence is becoming more and more common in our lives for example web based navigation systems can coordinate data
2:37 pm
from other uses to provide accurate traffic reports. a trial and just sitting at home at work or on the road. but. think about a traffic jam on the freeway. vehicles that are in the area are connected with each other. and can give everyone information about it so you can choose another route. they can also warn other drivers about bad weather conditions like fog. but. this technology could also help people who have physical disabilities so that they can increase their mobility. scientists at the german research center for artificial intelligence in south
2:38 pm
brooklyn are working with a company called nuance communications to develop the high tech cars of tomorrow. professor val stone since the cop responds to the drive his gestures and commands. even those of we can indicate what we want with our eyes and the system will figure out what we're looking at. with a combine that with a spoken command in the system will take care of the rest. and should little say you're driving by a restaurant if you look at it and ask where you can park or whether they serve steak and the system gives you an answer or. nuance research. helped to design this test vehicle it's outfitted with cameras that are focused on the drive up special software detects head and i movements and uses
2:39 pm
g.p.s. and web data to figure out where the driver wants to go think says this technology will help germany stay among the world's leading can't export his. thing in 10 years most cars will be electric and these vehicles will be defined by their technology not by the type of engine of being i'm ok i will allow us to stay competitive. but the use of ai in cars raises serious questions what if a child suddenly runs onto the street a computer will have to decide how to respond should the cost swerve and put other pedestrians at risk when the responsibility lies. the manufacturer might be held liable because the technology could not properly deal with that situation. or the company that sold the technology did not take into account for example that animal sometimes jump onto the road at night.
2:40 pm
and if someone files a lawsuit the company's insurance provider would be liable for any damages. meanwhile a fellow auto has arrived at the sheraton medical center she has an appointment with a member of the facilities working group on aging in technology dr and the. dr should i not realize is that some seniors have trouble adjusting to this technology i've. just seen a fresh place in the us many manufacturers claim that their devices can be operated in an intuitive and user friendly way. and that may be true for most people. but what about an older person who's never used a touch pad on a smartphone or similar mobile device touch that spot for another it's not going to be very user friendly for them. in the research laboratory
2:41 pm
a fact and nurse michelle many a testing an intelligent pad. that is designed to warn the medical staff in case of emergencies for example when patients with themselves the pad is outfitted with a device that alerts give up their associates and screen. the device also sends a message when the patient leaves the bed unexpectedly. all the things incidents are recorded in the log file that means less work for the nursing staff still michelle says that these devices won't replace humans. but if you're on the night shift you'll be lucky to have 2 nurses for 34 patients what if all 34 of the alarms go off of the thing with one so you have to look at
2:42 pm
this technology carefully and decide whether it's something that you want to use as an invasion file that. you also doubts that i will be able to help deal with increasing staff shortages at hospitals. they just won't happen and there are too many jobs that can only be done by people. technology will never be able to replace them but the. challenge of the prototype moon robot represents a less controversial kind of technology professor vasta is meeting with the experts at the brain and headquarters of the german research center for artificial intelligence. in. the morning something that. the robot can cope with even terrain better than vehicles with wheels can. chop it
2:43 pm
could be used in situations that would be extremely dangerous for humans. for example hostile environments like spaces the deep sea it's extremely difficult for humans to work at the bottom of the ocean but scientists want to find out more about the biological geological structures there. also studies have shown that the use of robots in music stream environments is a lot cheaper than using humans do but it's a given that come out of the cutting of robots could be sent to disaster areas. to places where there's been an earthquake. a major fire or a typhoon to help search for survivors in the affected areas. coming through the could also be deployed a nuclear disaster zone where humans would face deadly risks.
2:44 pm
but the science of industrial robotics is still at an early stage right now charlie has developed a technical problem said the scientists trying to fix it that's easy here in the lab but it would be impossible to do because if he were on the moon. there. be dead essentially. but that's a fairly minor problem compared to the other complications that we have to deal with this isn't a human it was like how the robot would function long term but it's not preprogramed so how would it handle unexpected situation at this point they're just not capable of doing that it was an. artificial intelligence is fuelling a revolution in the workplace it's called industry $4.00. and marco good is right in the middle of it he's come to the bush rex what factory in
2:45 pm
humble to find out more about how smart technology is replacing conventional machines mako has developed a new process that allows computers to continuously monitor the purity of machine oil the oil used to be checked by hand to regular intervals mako says this system increases the fission c m taught activity. yes and iligan intelligent technology allows you to take a proactive approach we can use trend analysis to study the oil samples and identify and correct any problems before us policy of. how as. we see the plant manager frank has is excited about these new developments. but most about the work is getting the skeptics that i can understand why they're worried about their jobs but there's really no cause for concern you still need
2:46 pm
people to do analysis reports. that we can use the cloud to keep track of the measurement data and that will give the employees more time to work on system 8 nodes and to spot problems. sayat in the. workers on this multiproduct assembly line are installing electro hydraulic valves for farm machinery 200 different options are available depending on customer requirements work is consult a digital assembly plant during the production process and it tells them how to install the individual parts of the intelligence helps the system to operate at maximum efficiency if wouldn't. it's over food we have all the data at our disposal in real time clear enough product characteristics as if the position of the product in the assembly process and system conditions that we use ai to bring all that data together so that the employees can see what the next step in production is going to
2:47 pm
be. good for the. sides of. this important visitor the boss rex told plant today professor vulcan vasta the problem is played a key role in developing the german concept for the future of work. the digital networking of labor and machine. in some products is now commonly referred to as the 4th industrial revolution like the college it's called is it good for us or this allows us to focus on every stage of production and make corrections that once were necessary before the good will knock out our code we cannot as some people it's with the violent winds we've been using this technology to monitor temperature and other system conditions would all fit in our gardens we stopped. the introduction of all this new technology has placed enormous demands on workers
2:48 pm
but without it germany will fall behind the rest of the world when it comes to industrial production. would be a disaster for us. we'd have to export a lot of these jobs to low wage countries production would collapse. so we're using industry $4.00 to try to avoid all that. we need a technological revolution to help germany stay on top of. that so to put it. in other industries the use of artificial intelligence will almost certainly thankful job cuts. it. is clobbered us replenish against courses but i think that's going to be the case in the banking and insurance sectors for example a physician a lot of that work can be done by smart machines in the future banks will essentially consist of huge computers and some specialists to handle certain financial transactions a bank but also of course
2:49 pm
a computer but in most jobs that involve everyday tasks like booking rebooking and handling cash payments will disappear. now professor vasta has come to the sheraton medical center in berlin and. he's here to find out more about the facilities aging and technology program. i mean how often that's a fair or tell is going to test an intelligent knitted vest designed by the ai research center senses in the vest a text body movements and must like to vittie an app stores the data and indicates where the i phone is getting enough exercise but the patient is a bit skeptical. british dread i suppose it's ok. i'm not sure what it's supposed to do well i'll just have to trust you 'd. this is
2:50 pm
this you can see that yesterday she spent a lot of time sitting down but today she's moving around more. so that let us off we could use that in our exercise programs for seniors to document and analyze their movements so you don't have to guess. is it best would also help improve patient safety for example if a person falls down that would be recorded by the sensors in the vest if those of. and then if the patient can't get up the system can send out an alert to a doctor other health care professionals or a relative then they'll get a message your mother has fallen down in go for a day because this one i really don't think i need all this just yet and i have my doubts about it get this with a new leader riskless so it records your every step and at the end of the day who really cares it is my doctor's not going to look at all this data and the maybe the professor will but my doctor certainly doesn't care how much i've been moving
2:51 pm
around at home or out on the street with i didn't hear the have or no order to hosenball yeah. i really got involved with this project or because both my parents lived in nursing last late in their lives to fifty's and back then this sort of technology hadn't been developed yet. i've come up with a few ideas but i wish that these sorts of systems had been in place when my parents were still alive steve devoted half and. today the german research center for artificial intelligence is celebrating its 30th anniversary. the center is now the largest research facility of its kind in the world it has created more the 90 spin off companies and is also involve. in numerous co-operative research projects. it is best to be the center stays focused on the future and the risks that are involved in the development of
2:52 pm
ai including the use of smart weapon systems and the misuse of sensitive personal data. storage. as well as local and the u.s. takes a pretty relaxed approach to the situation a little china even more so but the dangers are definitely there. for example what if populism continues to spread anyone can use this technology to their advantage. but i think it would be a mistake for us to discontinue our research it's a fortune. tonight vasta can look back over a professional career that spans 4 decades he's had many remarkable successes but he also concedes that he's made some mistakes along the way. someone from number that schools feel when we were just starting out we kept trying to find a single algorithm that would mirror the human thought process because of the
2:53 pm
mentioned thing so that was a spectacular floppy's flop but you can't reduce human thought to a single pattern up want to get at c. and the more i work with ai the more i respect human intelligence yes but what i change my attitudes because as i trust the more sophisticated. meanwhile a thought al has agreed to take part in more ai tests at the sheraton medical center but she still has a lot of concerns about this new technology and how others might use it. if and i think you have to be very careful people can learn a lot about how this one the food that food. but i mean. man is your life becomes more transparent it.
2:54 pm
has had so there are 2 sides to this no matter which generation you belong to me and nothing could. and indeed are sufficient intelligence is playing an ever larger wrong in the lives of young people. marco group believes that one day he'll have to ask his children to explain the latest technology to him ai is here to stay and it will continue to influence society thass think of starting fluid gets license called i think the transition will be gradual. but people will switch over to ai at home or at work as it becomes necessary. they'll get used to the technology we need adventurously they'll accept it as the new normal. on them. professor vall so will continue his research even in retirement.
2:55 pm
he's determined to perfect the process of artificial intelligence he sees himself as an innovator not a creator. was a stage you're not interfere with human biological systems we reproduce intelligence patterns that's the big difference between us and the biotechnology sector has everything we do is based on data that we get from sensors it has nothing to do with biology. it's a bus is also true of a bus of the group really so to a. lot of this is gets a clear night and there's a crescent moon. and a few years i can just imagine it. charlie running around on. the phone with.
