around the clock on our website just go to dot com and of course you can also follow us on twitter and instagram as well i'm marian evans dean for me and the entire news team here in berlin thanks for watching and stay safe to. the. world. go beyond. that. all about the stories that are to. come. whatever it takes. people are running around trying to change but not it. just made for mines.

this artificial intelligence is a bit like a human who is inside something else then ness. all. this 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 or no knives. but more can really do what will change and hope will remain signed fiction. to answer these questions we embarked on a journey to me. scientists working on our future. in

southern germany turned to the headquarters of kuka the world's leading manufacturer of industrial robots. renovation of is headed for sat chair 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 an thought 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 why 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 observing himself in the robot identified when an image successfully matched a particular grasping motion and when he didn't do this for weeks i vanished. he's applied what he learned and now he can successfully grab these objects over 90 percent of the time shopping it's the i didn't program him in yet he's still learning the task by himself seeing that really motivates you someone says in. the what if the rulebook sees a new object such as pious. as this interest 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. 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. it's all 53 pounds of. view 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 the help of ai. but we're only in the development stages. if their mind thinks i have a favorite example and that's chess these days there are computers or ai they can be chest champions chef my stuff. but we don't have a robot that can reach into a bookcase take out a chance that if you open the box take out the pieces one by one set them up and start playing stuff but i think 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 i don't know some site on forth have any of this but on the. so. get machine to get some better and more intense. agent this video was produced using special effects. but this robot has learned how to play table tennis he just didn't buy the searches and he didn't 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 what is enjoyed a few by 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 attacks are a 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. the size of. we humans use all

of our senses and can do more than smart robots but the robots are beginning to learn. 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 she 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. and the doctors decided to amputate his legs just below the knee. or to 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 says 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. of you. to use. point 1000. boston home to the massachusetts institute of technology. that

what 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 lab. so this is you have a motor and you have there's a motor this is a synthetic subcellar joint for inversion you version. so we've been raided and spent millions of dollars to the to arrive at the soft architecture he began developing prostheses after his lower limbs had been amputated his replacement max became increasingly complex now they are a items with countless senses 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

imagine 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 announced. with the special pathy she says he's developed himself he can once again his greatest passion climbing. so there was a computer in here there's 3 actually 3 and they're each the size of your thumbnail . it's 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 at celebrations temperatures and whatnot all that information goes into the computer the computer runs our thems and then decides on the actions of the muscle to like the motor system and this all happens very fast so as i'm walking and going up and down hills and steps it's constantly responding to my by mechanical means it is so with that even now if you do my on my plan b. or you you still go climbing absolutely and i. 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'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. well technology increasingly marriage 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. 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 and put information into the nervous system so the person can feel the panic limb 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 joining 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 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 later professor i love created every week i can do software and hardware that interest so i go by growing older right notes are great and you can get new year of the lesser synthetical a body is improving and that my biological body is degenerating which is very peculiar. if you have artificial intelligence is

a blessing. but a time out 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 us slowly nitrogen. artificial intelligence is also increasingly determining our communication it stand 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 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. 'd

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 usage is increasing won't write in 2810.

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 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 rate 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 need. the doctor had tried to counteract the anti vaccine hysteria and inform the public or 9 that then she was targeted. i was harshly i tucked in the toy tears 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. recap 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 strong 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 the actual mother's prize extralegal mother surprise became a twitter trend of. 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 giving wrong impact to the society and i'm hiding the truth by this 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.y. you see the anti vaccine movement as a global health threat in japan around $3000.00 women 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. the spread of false information shown here in orange and correct information seen here in blue. in our all 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 are fighting the fake tears as you say fix this

test question sir sir please take this president like fish which they can use has changed the political climate and worldwide. it is. going to get these changes to social networks and their intelligent algorithms are increasing division in society they vie for our attention feeding us exactly the information we nyc 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 bread profile thus our filter bubble is gradually formed.

everyone lives within their 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. 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 their

target should machines be allowed to take a life or death decisions. we travel to meet one of the most respected ethicists on autonomy as weapons in the us . he warns of uncontrollable development and is committed to worldwide ban on autonomous weapons we visited yale professor wendell gelding in his house move of new york. sometimes people do not fully understand what lethal a ton of this 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 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 the global comment 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 agent little economists 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 the town the system it'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 have been too slow to recognize we're going down a room path we need a world wide ban on autonomous intelligent weapons. artificial

intelligence will revolutionize industry in germany the term industry 4.0 has become a buzzword. counts for tools and entire production plants are being linked via sensors and equipped with ai but how will determine companies fair and worldwide 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. when we are 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 through on that machine they have an advantage over companies that come purely from the virtual world. being so i'm confident you develop to the core of 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 competence in concert on and on so i'm going to. germany has faith in its decades long technical expertise together with an army. 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 promised

a brave new world and in time mentioned seems intoxicated by its own progress. where is this culpable euphoria about the future stem from. we need hard. she's chinese and is work for a german company for several years we asked her what is different in china. culturally speaking we are different than you know it and. in a transition or thinking we are more open to you know the latest technology and opened for the word. soul. probably you can see from how much we are using the smartphone. and i like like just now we buy the coffee with a smartphone. and we pay for the text to be always a smart phone and sometimes my german colleagues say that you don't even to have to

bring cash with you and i said yeah that's normal life in for because if i always forget my wallet when i'm in germany because here in china i pay for everything with my smartphone so 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 going the on the other to this the ones in for example if i have. dinner with my friends and in a way or for us 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 by we check the 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 i 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. on cheap because with speed it's just think about where china was 40 years ago and now things are going full throttle and it's. just a part of. china has even surpassed the u.s. when it comes to finding patents one example is them about transportation service d.d. active in 400 chinese cities the platform organizes some affection a 1000000 trips a day diesel to do. each d.d. vehicle is equipped with a data log. which registers whether the car is stationary or moving or whether there's a traffic jam and the data is also used to improve information on traffic flow in

big cities like this we call this real time traffic information or r.t.t. i wish they did it 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 and it's connecting everything with everything else and generating added value from that the chinese are really really good at that will us into canoes and chocolate fish fish fish caught. on the china is a much younger nations there's a lot of energy and enthusiasm about what's to come with there are a lot of investments there are great education institutions here for example ching who are university in beijing and tongues a university in shanghai a really top level there are really many capable people the talent pool here is huge and so i think there's a good chance that china will be leading you know that comes from that one so. ringback it's 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 a young 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 him jam it was founded in 2006 by a young engineer today it's the world's largest manufacturer of civilian terms. chief development officer martin from the book 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 bushes. the tree saves my life. not as a saw the tree was the limit it was 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 the does 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 useless you don't have a bluetooth transmitter or anything else on you the pilot simply says i want to follow on the display confirms and the drone follows you on the. animation made in china. chinese television proudly reports such successes. china no longer companies modern day china invents. the ice for 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 and the state for us more than issues. 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 rogue or master here a team is preparing for the upcoming season. team has to program and optimize a gaming robot the final is a nationwide event. troy quinn supervises the competition

and shows us the pacu or. this one is this is that the new the latest one and also we have a it doesn't feel right now. like a euro. as we can say there is a. reference system that is for science and the bowling i use right here it's because they're fashioned that means you hit the in a half and give the crease to have one robot loose on the point it was those militia. this might look like but it's actually a program to support young engineers. 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. add new robots not only in that put them together is just the 1st step and then you need to coding do some coding those are artificial recognitions there's a toll it's the message we're at it and there's not that same hope all medical college students how many universities. their study to university in the file to and all this yeah we have a 17970 people all over the botched registers all the information and all the trying about a 140 and how good are they in. it. ok maybe if we can get hands on the robots and your spirit. how it was ok we have to love it so we will now buy it have a look at it again. trying

its just a few key combinations to control the robot go back almost like up to fall for what . i am an old guy you know. you can see i. am now now you fired me no i fired me but we are teammates so i think that if we do that i think is the way it's not right ok because all 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 starts. to care about this game because the teams form their schools when the ball away from the game instead means

a lot about them and. the students invested thousands of hours 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. there also an excellent initiatives in germany one example is the so-called indian expert in hanover around 300000 students come here with a single week it's the largest conference in europe. young people are introduced a new tack on how to program and design new circuits and they seem to love it. but in contrast to china german media hardly techno. germany talks too little about its success. since 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 scientists are funny attributed to discuss. following research in boston she's currently working in berlin and. the generation after the internet generation is the generation. they're growing up surrounded by are you 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 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're in some serious you might also have children would you sort of install a vaccine your home it depends what class for him would look like that or where i would live right now no. i laxer alexa how many seconds are there in a year. and collect calendar year has 31000000 536000 seconds and a leap year has 31622400 seconds. the 3rd says now what i wanted to know. unlike alexa 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 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 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 it doesn't know how to answer this type of questions. do you trust machines are they smart what can you do that they can't. define

a cause for increased understanding of artificial intelligence. the goal of my research is to bring this i literally see 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. michael and that's another important difference between humans and machines. and find a fan can sleep over at your house and tell you stories she talks to you. if you play with a robot they can only do certain things. because no can only play with dice alexa can only answer questions or sing a song and that ball can only roll. ideally i can do all those things.

but i can't you just have to get a lot of single things from one robot or get 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. memory and you hit the nail on the head. the robot cannot replace a best friend a matter how smart 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.
