kids artificial intelligence is a bit like a human who is inside something else and that. this is it's not as smart as you but it could be as smart as you in the future. i believe that will become robots at some point to. artificial intelligence is change or no knives. but look really. what will change

and what will remain inside fiction. to. answer these questions we embarked on a journey to meet the scientists working on our future. and southern germany home to the headquarters of kuka the world's leading manufacturer of industrial robots. an official of is head of research here and is considered to be one of the world's leading experts in this field. he and his team are working on a new generation of robots that learn independently my children the task to recognize and sort building blocks. as to what is this robotic system taught itself how to grab life in other words

there was no human programming the robot with us that's what we tried by himself. as ever he tried by himself like a child when he 1st started grabbing he wasn't successful except for in one to 2 percent of cases but he observed himself often by and by observing himself in the robot identified when an image successfully matched a particular grasping motion and when it didn't the folks i vanished. he's applied what he learned and now he can successfully grab these objects over 90 percent of the time shopping that's the i didn't program him in yet he's still learning the task by himself seeing that really motivates you to some of. the what if the report sees a new object such as pious. as this engine is punishment it's a nice example every child would just say ok grab and move those pliers over no problem. but he still failing. as i thought well he's failing because he doesn't know what kind of inertial force this object has to be able to grab it properly. so

53 problems occur. but you can see how he's already trying out different methods and in time he may get the hang of it i should add that he isn't trained after every attempt he collects around a 1000 data and then the neural net is retrained so it's possible that if we let him try a 1000 times now he would at least be able to grab them reliably. intelligent robots that learn by themselves they can recognize parts. and they can independently adapt to their environment with a house of ai. but we're only in the early development stages. if the mind thinks i have a favorite example and that's chess these days there are computers or ai they can be chess champions have my stuff but we don't have a robot that can reach into a bookcase take out

a chess set if open the box take out the pieces one by one set them up and start playing with. a 6 year old can do that but no existing robot can become so for the moment whenever i need physical intelligence we're still doomed to fail and i think that will be the case for a few more years some site on forth had any of this but on the. sold off. yet machines are getting better and more intense. agent this video was produced using special effects. but this robot has learned how to play table tennis it was built by researches and he began and shows how much is only possible in the real world none of it's the how long will it take before robots are better than us in some areas of us enjoyed if you know i robots already are better than us in many areas particularly those requiring nondairy at repetition a great deal of force or a high degree of precision and. tasks current robots are not as good at as we are

are those involving sensors there's no point in eyeing that and i think it will be another 10 or 20 years before we have robots that can hold a candle to humans in some areas. it's not surprising that. we humans use all of our senses and can do more than smart robots but the robots are beginning to learn. us official intelligence also plays an important role in a story that began in january 1902 in mt washington new hampshire. hugh hat was 17 years old at the time together with his friend jeff that's a huge went to the mountain. but they were caught off guard by a change in the weather a blizzard raged for 3 whole days the missing boys were only found after 4 days both were alive but they had severe frostbite. the doctors decided to amputate his

legs just below the knee. 32 years later hugh has a eye legs which he developed himself and spoke on turning disability into opportunity at the ted conference in 2014. dunn said education haslet davis lost a leg in 2013. in the terrorist attack at the boston marathon thanks to the smart prosthesis by hugh had she can dance again. some needed. some thought. maybe you can use. 100001000

. boston home to the massachusetts institute of technology. but you have to talk about artificial intelligence and the human body is the pioneer in the field of intelligent prosthetics a single person who has both developed and. there are dozens of prototypes in his lap. so this is you have a motor and you have there's a motor this is a synthetic subcellar joint for inversion a version. so we've iterated and spent millions of dollars to to arrive at the soft of architectural he began developing prostheses after his lower limbs had been amputated his replacement legs became increasingly complex now they are a items with countless census mosts and computers. i quickly

realize that i had an opportunity that from my knees dale i was there was a blank slate and i could create anything in that space that i could conceive of a legend so i start as a young male a certain legend. what what that blank space may look like what they fill that space. disability depends on perspective. hugh has developed enough along. with the special pathy she says he's developed himself he can once again pursue his greatest passion climbing. so there was a computer in here there's 3 options 3 and they're each the size of your thumbnail

. so a very small microprocessors and there's a muscle tendon like motor system. so the computer runs out rhythms and receives sensory information so the device is measuring its position speed accelerations temperatures and whatnot all that information goes into the computer that computer runs our thems and then decides on the actions of muscle tendon like motor system in this all happens very fast so as i'm walking and going up and down hills and stops it's constantly responding to my mind the chemical needs it is so with that even nowadays you do mine or you go climbing absolutely and i run and you cannot you cannot with a straight face say that i'm disabled. i trail ride and i play tennis and i do whatever i want to do physically now if you remove the technology from my

body i am severely disabled and crippled but with the technology in this sophisticated human machine interaction and freed from the shackles of disability. are intelligent prostheses are only the beginning. well technology increasingly marked with the human body. 'd intelligent humanoids have already been depicted in feature films such as x. mackinaw. you shouldn't trust nathan you shouldn't trust anything he says. we're closing the loop between the synthetic robotic limb and the human brain the human nervous system and what that means is the person can think. it is sending commands them through the nerves and then we we measure those commands and they control synthetic motors on the bicycle and and then we're also closing the loops or sensors in the bonnet input information into the nervous system so the person

can feel the by nicklin moving it's position it's sensations as if it's part of their body this is almost philosophical because through half. the body and you have the machine and you sort of start their merger injuring them together and if we're gaining evidence that when a human being can feel a synthetic body part. when they when they can touch it and it feels like normal touch when they move it it feels like a normal joint movement that the synthetic object becomes part of their their body their identity their self what's cool about having a significant part of your body that's design a bone synthetic is you can upgrade. so given that a little 80 professor i love graded every week i could do software and hardware that interest so i go by growing older right no secret and you can get new year every lesser synthetic although my body is improving and that my biological body is

degenerating which is very peculiar. to hew half artificial intelligence is a blessing. by the time our interview was over a snowstorm was raging in boston an interesting coincidence as this was also how his transition began thanks to a i body and machine are slowly emerging. artificial intelligence is also increasingly determining our communication it stand behind every cell hidden from view in social networks intelligent algorithms control what we see and thus influence what we read and what we don't but there's a problem fake news. capturing and reselling our attention and our digital data has become big business information technology firms are among the most valuable

companies in the world. facebook you tube and twitter have changed the media worldwide but exactly what role do their intelligent algorithms play in the spread of fake news. in 2018 a team of scientists from boston analyzed the spread of fake news. the study was led by professor scene and are all. it was the largest worldwide study that had ever been conducted on the spread of fake news on social networks. while information is abundant attention is. so there's way more information than we can process and so these platforms help us by curating the information and as you say prioritizing what comes 1st in our news feed what comes 2nd what comes 3rd and

they have a machine an algorithm based on machine learning that is deciding what gets shown 1st 2nd 3rd or in fact what gets shown at all some things are not shown it's not the case that every piece of information is shown to everyone but which criteria do facebook and twitter used to program the algorithms these terms of the people writing those algorithms are based on the incentives of the platforms the companies that they work for those companies are based on an economic model of engagement the more people are engaged the more opportunities you have to show ads and so you have more. inventory for advertisements but the 2nd important reason is that the more people are engaged the more you learn about who they are and what they like and the more sophisticated the targeting is in terms of advertising so engagement is a key factor for the for the economic success of the social media industrial

complex. daily internet usage is increasing well dried in 2800 in germany. 3 hours a day people it was just on the 6 hours a day things that are exciting novel surprising things that are potentially shocking. are more likely to be engaging clicked on read viewed share like and therefore there are elements of the models that the term in the news feed that favoring gauge with. the following case from japan shows what fake news from social networks can lead to. video showing young women who allegedly became ill after a cervical cancer vaccine were posted online. at the same time unverified scientific studies were circulated on social networks. both videos and studies were

picked up by television this led to the vaccination rates against cervical cancer in japan falling from 70 percent to less than one percent. how could it be that false information could turn an industrialized country like japan against a globally recognized vaccination. where we meet. the doctor had tried to counteract the anti vaccine hysteria and inform the public or line but then she was targeted. i was harshly i tucked in the 20 years or social media when i started writing about the safety of the vaccines they even tried to threaten law by sending all those. blackmailing messages to my family or me.

continued undeterred she analyzed the vaccination opponents facts checked the scientific validity of their experiments and published her results in a book after all i was just stalled and you know all. the criticism and one day i just decided to shut out twitter for one for a while but. when i got out of control much flies extralegal mother surprise became a twitter trend of. even that didn't change public opinion in japan despite top scientists sharing ricos view she eventually lost the battle to fake news the accused me because my writing is wrong and why writing is giving wrong impact to the society and i'm hiding the truth but they say not if the contrary i'm telling the truth and people feel i'm hiding the truth it's really interesting isn't. 5 it

w.h.y. you see the empty vaccine movement as a global health threat and japan around $3000.00 women will probably die every year from cervical cancer because they choose not to get vaccinated fake news can be fatal the false information is moving through human society in a digital science like lightning while the truth is essential really you know at the speed of molasses sort of dripping very slowly from person to person to person . this pride of false information shown here in orange and correct information seen here in blue. are all has studied these patents on twitter more closely than anyone else. false news traveled further faster deeper and more broadly than the truth in every category of information that we see. started sometimes by an order of magnitude difference and this was particularly true of

false political news which was the most viral category of any type of false news that was started shaking news we're fighting the fake tears as you say fake this task forces are ok sir can i take this present like a fake news has changed the political climate in worldwide yes. it is it should you have to get used to social networks and there are intelligent algorithms are increasing division in society they vie for our attention feeding us exactly the information we like what counts as a click rate concerts and the length of stay and not where the content is true or trustworthy. this personalized communication is dividing our society social networks assign each user profile depending on what she or he clicks on reads or watches those belonging to the red group here are mainly supplied with information

that matches the read profile thus our filter bubble is gradually formed. everyone lives with them our own network our opinion as echoed by like minded people contradictory information and opinions hotly and. media should be a mirror of society but the ai algorithms are distorting the opinions we form based off our media consumption. get the media is too important to be left to people who are just out to might money. how will our official intelligence change conflicts what about. intelligent autonomous weapons. the military is already testing prototypes like here in california 2

fighter jets launch a swarm of intelligent turned. the autonomous flying objects then identify their target should machines be allowed to take a life or death decisions. we travel to meet one of the most respected ethicists on autonomous weapons in the us . he warns of uncontrollable development and is committed to a worldwide ban on autonomous weapons we visited yale professor wendell gelding in his house move of new. sometimes people do not fully understand what lethal autonomous weapon systems are they tend to think of drown that might have facial recognition software and would pick off a terrorist that it sees in the distance or perhaps a few robotics soldiers on

a battlefield what is sometimes not fully appreciate it is a little autonomy is not a weapon system it is feature sets which can be added to any weapons system and that includes atomic weapons or other high powered munitions and the feature sets would be the ability to pick a target and destroy that target with little or no active human intervention. intelligent image recognition. automatic target recognition these ai techniques are already available the global common race has become. that machines do not make life and death decisions humans humans make life and death decisions about him and it's and when we open the door to machines making those decisions we undermine the. basic principle of a responsible human each and little economist weapons and self driving cars they

are just the tip of an iceberg with something much larger below the surface and that larger thing below the surface is autonomy in general is a town a system that in general thomas systems threaten to undermine the foundational principle that there's an agent and that agent can either be a human or it can be a corporation or something else but that there is an agent who is responsible and potentially culpable and liable for its actions or for any actions that are taken. i don't like can't think of anything more stupid than humanity going down a route where we have deluded the principle of responsibility where we dilute it in such a way that nobody can be held responsible anymore if something truly dire takes place. in the past we've been too slow to recognize we're going

down a room path we need a mode wide ban on autonomous intelligent weapons. 'd artificial intelligence will revolutionize industry and germany the time industry 4.0 has become a buzzword. cost tools and then tie up production plants are being linked via senses and equipped with ai but how will determine companies fair and won't want competition. dr michelle bonner is the head of the bush research center and running and patent wattenberg. 'd artificial intelligence is one of the main focus points here. vendean leading the industry when it comes to industrial ai the ai that plays a role in products then i think that the technology companies that have decades of

experience in the physical world in real life objects and the corresponding experience in development and production have a competitive advantage when adding in machine learning and artificial intelligence doing that they have an advantage over companies that come purely from the virtual world. so i'm confident i'll still to come and this is also the reason why we're investing so much in this area. and why we're rolling out and applying this expertise across the group. of competence in front also and on so i'm going to. germany has faith in its decades long technical expertise together with any. one player who is fighting to get ahead is china. changing the god in the case of heaven peace in beijing. soldiers flacks mao. this was the

old image of the country but modern the china has awakened. digitalisation an artificial intelligence promise a brave new world and then time nation seems intoxicated by its own progress. where does this palpable euphoria about the future stem from. women. she's chinese and work for a german company for several years we asked her what is different in china. culturally speaking we are different you know and and in a transition or thinking we are more open to you know the latest technology and open to what the word. saw. probably you can see from how much we're using the smartphone. right like like just now we buy the coffee

with a smart phone and we pay for the taxi deal with a smart phone and sometimes my german colleagues here are starting to say that you don't even to have to bring cash with you and i said yeah that's normal life. for because it's i always forget my wallet when i'm in germany because here in china i pay for everything with my smartphone if you go to the market and there's an 80 year old woman selling produce you might think i guess i'll pay with cash but you can't anymore you'll be buying an apple and she'll take out a q.r. code scanned it and then you pay for it with your smartphone it's unbelievable there's nothing like that in germany it's crazy as long as can see one direction the lines and for example if i have. dinner with my friends and in a way or 1st has to know and hand out your phones and we put phones on a table. and then if somebody is picking up the phone and by cause. by text message or message he has to pay for to be here and that's the punishment

so we can feel the advantage of the technology but when you get used to. reflect what kind of impact my life and what a good part it was at the back hatch and then in terms of bad part i mean by nature everyone will start to. trying to keep the. young china is catching up and the whole nation is hungry for progress. because the speed just think about where china was 40 years ago and now things are going full throttle in jets. to congo. china has even surpassed the u.s. when it comes to finding patents one example is them about transportation. active in 400 chinese cities the platform organizes some 50000000 trips a day. of the default each d.d.

vehicle is equipped with a data logger which registers whether the car is stationary or moving or whether there's a traffic jam that is also used to improve information on traffic flow in big cities and we call this real time traffic information or r t t i if they deviate out to go directly into the r.t.i. which gives you a much more reliable view of whether roads are congested or not than in german cities for. connecting everything with everything else in generating added value from that the chinese are really really good at that. china is a much younger nations there's a lot of energy and enthusiasm about what's to come there are a lot of investments there are great education institutions here for example ching who are university in beijing. in tang's a university in shanghai a really top level there are really many capable people the talent pool here is

huge and there are so i think there's a good chance that china will be leading to another comes from the ones where. ringback it's predicted that in 203037 percent of all scientists will be chinese only 1.4 percent will be from germany. among germany is currently facing a lack of science teachers at schools i am generation of innovators is growing up in china they have top level education fresh ideas and they're hungry for success. one example is the d.j. i company from change and it was founded in 2006 by a young engineer today is the world's largest manufacturer of civilian terms of a. chief development officer martin the number of shows us the latest model. the new journey uses intelligent image recognition and can independently pursue its target.

equipped with dozens of sensors and smart positioning it can detect obstacles such as trains or pushes. the tree saves my life. not as a saw the tree was the limit because the drone says no on it or not and if in this case the drone said i can't fly through it safely so i better stop a dozen as i understand it is very common here in china to combine things facial recognition navigating flying. when if yes and in this case only visuals were used you don't have a bluetooth transmitter or anything else on you the pilot simply says i want to follow bongo on the display confirms and the drone follows you on an. animation made in china. chinese television proudly reports such successes.

china no longer companies modern day china invents. future lies with the g.i. is truly the 1st global brand with a completely new product range from china before china was primarily known as the world's factory that's changing now and the perception is also changing our company alone employs almost 3000 engineers really smart people they're all enthusiastic they're motivated they want to create something new what this is and that's the spirit that prevails in this country that's going to persist the hunger for innovation is what defines modern china its own initiative for this more than this year. 'd and china's economy is booming cities such as change an option do you have the same economic output as an entire european countries. the country is investing in its young people take the example of rover master here

a team is preparing for the upcoming season each team has to program and optimize a gaming robot the final is a nationwide event. troy quinn supervises the competition and shows us the pack or. this one is this is that the new the latest one and also we have a it doesn't work right now. as we guess where there is a battle right here is the reference system this is for science and the bowling for us right here because if fashion is yeah that means you hit the in a hat and pick the crease to happen if there is one love aaj on the point there were those illusion that. this may look like a game but it's actually a program to support young engine. it was launched by the german army and now several other companies are also involved the next generation of engineers needs to

be good at designing and programming and that's exactly what they're learning here on the plane for context. the background is serious engineering or more game is serious and union because you need to own new robot not only in it put them together it's just a place that and their unit to the coding do some code in those artificial recognitions there's a toll it's quite a mess that we're at it and there's not that same hope all medical college students how many university. study to stay in the file to and all this yeah we have a 178. 170 of all over the bunch questions here although the magician. and all of the trying about a 140 and how good are they in their head. ok maybe if we can get hands

on the robots and your spirit how it works ok we have 2 robots so we will know why and they have a look at it again. trying it's just a few key combinations to control the robot that go back almost 2 full forwards. i'm an old guy you know folks you can see me. and now now you fired me no i fired near me but we are teammates so i. think if we do that i think is a way that i it's ok because i we have. the final is a major event 20000 people are in the audience i'm nervous 30000000 watched the contest online and in. yes and program is a china's new pop star. care

about this game because the teams for schools when the ball before the game is still means a lot of them and. a student invested thousands of dollars into developing their robots the winner of the 2018 competition was the team from southern china university of technology. all of china celebrated their success. they're also excellent initiatives in germany one example is the so-called indian expert in hanover around 300000 students come here within a single week it's the largest transfer and in europe. young people are introduced a new tax plan how to program and design new circuits and they seem to love us. but in contrast to china german media hardly techno. germany talks too little about

its successors we too can keep up with the global i race if we want to but we really have to step on the gas. children are now growing up with smart phones internet and intelligent toys. but what is the danger children women sign test a fanny a drink get to discuss. following research in boston she's currently working in berlin. a generation after the internet generation a generation. they're growing up surrounded by a i like alexa for example. you know this device was not designed for children right. this device was designed for households so families make purchases via this device and i think it's very

important to recognize when we talk about kids and when we talk about regulation for smart toys and regulation of devices that record detail about our kids to understand who make made these devices and what was the ultimate goal of this device just imagine you in some years you might also have children would you sort of install alexa in your home and it depends what platform would look like that where i would live right now no. i next or alexa how many seconds are there in a year. and calendar year has 31536000 seconds and a leap year has 31622400 seconds. the 3rd says now what i wanted to know. unlike the small robot cost much less developed for children. trust in intelligence are related because if i think that

a device is smart i tend to trust it more so the younger children weren't so sure how smart these devices were and all their children's they thought they're smart because they have a lot of data so basically the children were like 3 and a half or $26.00 where more skeptical initially of these devices and as soon as kids would go to school they were more like trustworthy just because they saw how much information these devices have. curiosity creativity imagination children are open minded and enjoying trying things out some devices react as if they were artificial living beings. after they learned how to program it in training both the young children and all children became more skeptical and trusted the device less so they understood it knows how to answer this type of questions but he doesn't know how to answer

deceptive questions. do you trust machines are they smart what can you do that they can't. define a course for increased understanding of artificial intelligence. the goal of my research is to bring this ai literacy both to kids and parents because these are in the home and parents are there also part of the conversation asking questions and i think it's important for. families to understand how ai works in order to make a good use of this technology. some things promote our own creativity other things seem to be superfluous. but michael and there's another important difference between humans and machines. and i find as can kill sleep over at your house and tell you stories she talks to you. if you play with

a robot it can only do certain things. can only play with dice alexa can only answer questions or sing a song and that ball can only roll. i'm the only i can do all those things. but i can't do that you just have to get a lot of single things from one robot again another will pass 1st this one then that other then the next and with the person you don't have to get a new one you always have the ear and they can do everything. maria maria hit the nail on the head. the robot cannot replace a best friend a matter how smart or there's a machine cannot substitute a human being. here our journey through the world of artificial intelligence draws to a close there will be major changes but it is not the machines but we humans who

cause them we not only have the freedom but also the responsibility to shape our own future. corin says. docs. rarely use. the bars 20 more.
