kids just artificial intelligence is a bit like a human who is inside something else than a. live. 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 you. are sufficient intelligence is change in our lives. but more can really do what will change and what will remain signed fiction. to answer these questions we embarked on a journey. to meet the scientists working on our future. outspoken

and southern germany home to the headquarters of kuka the world's leading manufacturer of industrial robots. i have a shelf is headed for such a man 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 independently children tomsk to recognize and salute building blocks. as 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 so we tried by himself. as ever he tried by himself like a child when i 1st started grabbing he wasn't successful except for in one to 2

percent of cases but he observed himself. and by observing himself in the robot identified when an image successfully matched a particular grasping motion and when it didn't. vanished he's applied what he learned and now he can successfully grab these objects over 90 percent of the time i was hoping you'd see i didn't program him and yet he's still learning the task by himself seeing that really motivates you to someone says in. the what if the rulebook 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's still failing and trying to yes 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 his disappearance of. people 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 themself they can recognize parts assemble them and they can independently adapt to their environment with the help of ai. but we're only in the development stages. to get the mind to place i have a favorite example and that's chess these days there are computers or ai they can be chest champions the chef calls my stuff and that's what we don't have a robot that can reach into a bookcase take out a chest 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 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 side on forehead and this bit on the compiler so dos. yet machines are getting better and more intelligent this video was produced using special effects. but this robot has not had a pay table tennis has been person chosen to begin 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 a few robots already are better than us in many areas particularly those requiring nondairy and repetition a great deal of force or a high degree of precision and talks are being 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 i'm thinking to learn. artificial 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 up 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. and the doctors decided to amputate his legs just below the knee. there's a 2 years later and has a eye legs which he developed himself he spoke on turning disability into

opportunity at the ted conference in 2014. done sir edwin 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. one thang. boston home to the massachusetts institute of technology.

what you have to talk about artificial intelligence and the human body is a pioneer in the field of intelligent prosthetics a single person who has both developer and. there are dozens of prototypes in his lab. so this is you have a motor 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 the to arrive at the soft more. he began developing prostheses after his lower limbs had been amputated his replacement lacks 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 can create anything in that space that i could conceive of

a legend so i serve 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 another monster. with a special pathy she says he's developed himself he can once again perceive his greatest passion climbing. so there is a computer in here there's 3 actually 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 to like the motor system in this all happens very fast so as i'm walking we're going up and down hills and steps it's constantly responding to my by mechanical means it's so with that even now if you do mine or you still go climbing absolutely and i run and he cannot you cannot with a straight face say that i'm disabled. i trail run and i play tennis and i do whatever i want to do physically now if you remove the technology from my body i'm severely disabled and crippled but with the technology in this sophisticated human machine interaction and freed from the shackles of disability.

are intelligent prostheses only the beginning. technology increasingly march with the human. 'd intelligent humanoids have already been depicted in feature films such as x. mike and. 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. just 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 of sensors in the bonnet glen input information into the nervous system so the person can feel the bonnet moving its position its 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 the merger inching them together and 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 and it feels like a normal joint movement that synthetic object becomes part of their their body their identity their self well what's cool about having a significant part of your body that's design a more and synthetic is you can upgrade. so given that our little lady professor i love graded every week i could do software hardware with interest so my goal by growing older right no secret and you can get new year end of lesser synthetical in my body as approving of my biological body as generator which is very peculiar. if you have artificial intelligence is

a blessing. by the time our interview was over a snow storm was raging in boston an interesting coincidence as this was also how his transition began thanks to our body and machine are slowly emerging. artificial intelligence is also increasingly determining our communication it's a fact behind every search 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. 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 the attentive 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 ease it is increasing worldwide in $2810.00 the

average was in 3 hours the day. 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 liked 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 and 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 industrialised country like japan against a globally recognized vaccination. where we need. the doctor had tried to counteract the anti vaccine hysteria and inform the public online but then she was targeted. i was harshly i tucked into 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 astral i was just stalled and you know bias on the criticism and one day i just decided to shut out twitter for one for a while but. i can't control my thoughts flies extralegal mother's cries became a twitter trend. but even that didn't change public opinion in japan despite top scientists sharing wicca's view she eventually lost the battle to fake news the accuse me because my writing is wrong and my writing is still being wrongly impacted our society and i'm hiding the truth but they still not it's 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 o c s the anti vaccine movement has 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 as essentially 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 see here in blue. in our own has studied these patterns 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

fix this test question sir sir ok this person i like to take news has changed the political climate in world war i and yes. it is efficient if you can get used to social networks and their intelligence algorithms are increasing division and 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 a 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 bread profile thus our filter bubble is gradually formed.

everyone lives within their own network our opinion is echoed by like minded people contradictory information and opinions hardly and operable for. media should be a mirror of society but the ai algorithms are distorting the opinions we form based off our media consumption. if the media is too important to be left to people who are just out to make money. or. how well as 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 that

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 an uncontrollable development and is committed to a worldwide ban on autonomous weapons we visited yale professor wendell gelding in his house move of new walk. sometimes people do not fully understand what little autonomous weapon systems are they tend to think of droughns 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 weapons 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. comment race has begun. that machines do not make life and death decisions humans humans make life and death decisions about him and its and when we open the door to machines making those decisions we undermine the. basic principle of a responsible human a. 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's 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 i 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. artificial

intelligence will revolutionize industry in germany the term in history 4.0 has become a buzzword. counts tools and then time production plants are being linked to 5 senses and equipped with ai but how will determine companies fair and world wide competition. dr michelle bonner is the head of the bush research center and running and patent wattenberg. 'd 'd official intelligence is one of the main focus points here. vendean they were intimately in 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 through on that machine they have an advantage over companies that come purely from the virtual worlds. so i'm confident i was devoted and calm 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 world of lighter. competence in front also and on so i'm going to. germany has faith in its decades long technical expertise together with. one player who is fighting to get ahead is china. changing of the guard at the gates of heaven and peace in beijing soldiers flacks now. this is the old image of the country but modern day china has awakened. digitalisation an artificial intelligence

promise a brave new world and then time nation seems intoxicated by its own progress. where is this comparable euphoria about the future stem from. when made hong yang she's chinese who has worked for a german company for several years we asked her what is different in china. culturally speaking we are different you know and. in the transition there sinking we are more open to you know the latest technology and open for the word and so. probably you can see from how much we are using the smartphone. right like like just now we buy the coffee with a smart phone and we pay for the text to be always a smart phone and sometimes my german colleagues to say that you don't even to have

to bring cash with you and i said yeah that's normal life in the for because if 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 scan it and then you pay for it with your smartphone it's unbelievable there's nothing like that in germany it's crazy and it's loneliness comes from. the lines and for example if i have. dinner with my friends and away or 1st has to you know hand out your phones and we put phones on a table. and then if somebody is picking up the phone by cause all 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 each used to reflect what kind of impact to my life what is the good part or was it

a bad patch and then in terms of bad part i mean by nature everyone will start to think about how can they get rid of the bad part but still trying to keep the good part. young china is catching up and the whole nation is hungry for progress. to push with speed just think about words. china was 40 years ago and now things are going full throttle and it's. just a punk all. china has even surpassed the u.s. when it comes to finding patents one example is the transportation service d.d. active in 400 chinese cities the platform organizes some 30000000 trips a day and didn't use of the default so 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 wish they did the data 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 and it's connecting everything with everything else and generating added value from that the chinese are really really good at that will. ensure safety switch to school. on 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 and tongji university in shanghai a really top level there are really many capable people the talent pool here is huge so i think there's a good chance that china will be leading. ringback its predicted that in 20 to

37 percent of all scientists will be chinese only 1.4 percent will be from germany . among germany's counting facing a lack of science teachers or 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 him. it was founded in 2006 by a young engineer today it's the world's largest manufacturer of civilian terms but . chief development officer shows us the latest model. of 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. but not as is so the 3 was the limit because the drone says no 9 did 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 i could yes and in this case only visuals were useless and you don't have a bluetooth transmitter or anything else on you the pilot simply says i want to follow along go on the display confirms and the drone follows you. animation made in china. 'd chinese television proudly reports such successes. china no longer copies modern day china invents. digitized d.j.o. 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 which 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. to stay for this more than this year. and china's economy is booming cities such as china gen do you have the same economic output as an entire european countries. the country is investing in its young people take the example of rogue or 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. to try to clean supervisors the competition

and shows us the pack or. this one it is this is that the new the latest one. also we have a it doesn't share price. like a euro. as we can say there is a cadillac here is a reference system this is for science and a bullet for us right here because there fashions yeah that means you hit them in a hat and they take the crease the handle that one robot loose on the bunch it was those who were shut down. this may look like a game but it's actually a program to support young engineers it was launched by d.j. 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 in a playful context. the background is serious

engineering or more game is serious and union because you need to be your own new robot not only in putting together is just the 1st step and then you need to coding those encoding to some artificial recognition and there's a toll it's hard to message where that and there's not that same hope. all medical college students how many universities. their study to stay in the file to him and all they share we have a 178. 170 people all over the botched questions here's all the elevation and all of the chinese about a 140 and how good of a. hit. ok maybe if we can get hands on the robots and yes here's how it works ok we have 2 robots so we will know why and have a look at it again. trying

it's just a few key combinations to control the robot go back almost triple forwards. i'm an old guy you know. you can see me. and now now you fired me no i fired near me but we are team mates so i think that 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 another 30000000 watched the contest online. engineers and programmers at china's new pump stance. they. care about these games because the teams from their schools when they go away from the games means

a lot for the photo editor for. the students invested sounds of a sense developing their robots the winner of the 2018 competition with the team from southern china university of technology. all of china some a place of their success. they're also excellent initiatives in germany is one example of this. so called indian expo 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 numbers. but in contrast to china german media hardly take notice. 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 testify on the internet get to discuss. following research in boston she's currently working in berlin. the generation after the internet generation generation. they're growing up surrounded by our i like alexa program. 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 too or ways and regulation of devices that record detail about our kids

to understand who makes 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 a vaccine your home it depends what firm would look like that or where i would live . right now no. i not so alexa how many seconds are there in a year. and a 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 cars much less developed for children. and me trust and 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 they thought they're smart

because they have a lot of data so basically that 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 enjoy 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 in 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 they're also part of the conversation asking questions and i think it's important for families to understand how i works in order to make a good use of this technology that. 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 a fine as can can sleep over at your house and tell you stories you she talks to you. if you play with a robot it can only do certain things because you can move because now can only play with dice alexa can only answer questions or sing

a song and that ball can only roll. and yuliya can do all those things. most jackhammer love attack can't you just have to get a lot of single things from one robot or get other robots 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 narran they can do everything. mary and you hit the nail on the head. the robot cannot replace a best friend a matter how smart as it is 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.
