welcome to our thoughts and culture of the 77th venice film festival is underway bashing on despite the covert 900 pandemic and hoping to give some momentum to an industry in danger of being usurped by streaming services also coming up in the pipeline. the museum bought of it any in potsdam welcomes its permanent collection of impressionist paintings including the largest collection like an old one a outside of paris. and in our series on german artists and colonialism and with barbie choral uses for work to bring forgotten colonial histories back to life. all cinema is the real antidote to this pandemic those are the words of spanish director pandora almodovar and as the venice film festival bravely resuscitate the

festival circuit one can only hope that he's right suffice it to say the cinephiles in attendance were determined to keep the dream alive. whether you. doing president cate blanchett or spanish directing legend pedro almodovar there's no escaping the street time. on the 1st night of this winton fired up this socially distance audience even at c.r. . cinema cinema cinema what can go for. nothing but. cinema is a lie even given the pandemic doing the opening ceremony swinton was honored with a golden lion for her life's work then he is the 1st of the world's major film festivals to take place in person since not down. on the 3rd day the most is almost back in its old swing the themes are once again in the spotlight not the measures

required in order to show them. and my colleague scott ross perot joins us live from the lido in venice welcome scott there you are and you know this is so crazy banister in a global pandemic so different from what you're used to what's how's it going. yeah it's going surprisingly well here i mean it is odd to be here with a mouse the aftermath of the cinema to have the sort of the smell the scent of disinfectant gel everywhere you go but it actually does still feel like a real film festival and i think that has so much to do with the fact that everybody here the stars like kate blanchett like pedro almodovar like tilda swinton but also all the ordinary film fans and film reviewers here are just desperate for venice to succeed they really are desperate for the film industry to get going again and to get restart again and i think that's really creating a wave of optimism here at here at venice all that's great to hear now we heard in

the piece that it's a very political festival this year especially the competition film so what's striking about the lineup for you this time around. yeah it's interesting because usually venice is a very big hollywood festival a lot of big oscar films start here and that hasn't happened this year because so many of those films are being held back by the studios so in their place we see a lot of more interesting european and political very political strong political films there was one the prepared earlier this week. which is about the celebrity it's a massacre it's a bosnian film and this is incredibly powerful it follows a u.n. translator boston woman working for the u.n. peacekeeping group translating between them and and the bosnians there and basically the film is about her struggle to try and desperately save her husband and her 2 sons from being swept up by the serbian military and then as we know be executed it's it's

a very very powerful film i mean i think this will go down probably as the definitive film about the 70 to massacre it really shows how rawson about can be and how cinema can really. be a testimony to history of very very powerful movie and i think will go far after its premiere here in venice ok scott we're running shortly out of time but still early days what other highlights do you see coming up or amongst what you've seen so far. what one of the big highlights for me was a french film called lovers a completely different not a political movie at all film the why are sort of in the style of a clutch of oil just a film with a lot of sexiness a lot of danger and and crime and some incredible interiors a film to film to escape into and i think that's also something that we're seeing a lot of here in venice that i'm really looking forward to in the coming days and what will we be checking in with you about on monday because we will check in

obviously early days still what's coming up next week. yeah monday i think is one of the big holiday of this festival one night in miami it's a directorial debut of oscar winning actress regina king and it's set in 1964 and it's a civil rights drama about a real life meeting that occurred between mohammad ali malcolm x. the singer sam cooke and jim brown the. n.f.l. football player or not and civil rights activist i'm really excited to see this movie it's already being seen as an oscar candidate so i think you'll be really excited to see it on monday thanks very much scott let's check in with you again on monday and between now and then happy viewing and stay safe. well it was a huge win for the city of pottstown when german software magnate has so plot now renovated a historic building to how was his art collection and the rich one is the museum

exhibits works that range from the old masters to contemporary art and this week his long awaited impressionists join the permanent collection making one of the most impressive outside of france. good morning i bought. the impressionists are strongly associated with france but now the barbering easy of imports. can boast its own striking inflection of impressionist paintings thanks to a permanent line by german businessman fossil plattner. mr platinum built the museum precisely for this moment he wants to share the paintings 103 of them with the public that was always his wish and it's now been accomplished . and he fell in love with france as a sailor i as a nature lover because he's always been interested in bodies of water. shifted meat isn't passive flesh and how do you francis and the french impressionists i live

next to the same river they wanted to be close to the river to the sea. that's what fascinated him was another pursue near. among the highlights of the platinum collection are more than 34 morning paintings some of them an hour and display for the 1st time i. can use feel like they are my learning is perhaps the painter he succeeded the most in capturing the atmosphere he said that he wanted to paint what was between him and the motif under motif it means that he really takes you when you're invited to dive into his works. alongside more name many other impressionists are also featured alfred sees lee's paintings of snake scenes stand out. the impressionists were fascinated by snow because it gave a completely different outlook to landscapes they were familiar with but i think the really interesting thing with these landscapes is this when you see them from

far away you think of the color white but the closer you get you actually see the paint with so many different views of things sparkles and vibrates the socialist detail so you really need some time to discover the painting for yourself. with the platen i collect. now on display the bob reading easy i mean points down looks like and little carries in the heart of germany. french companies are has not. started performing as a child while suffering from leukemia her family moved to europe for her lifesaving treatment and due to language barriers she started to express herself through performance in order to cope with the pain well now she's based in berlin and she says her work is about healing. this quiet german a lake beholding secrets secrets of history mysteries that art could uncover. things were hidden under the sand and makes the nature speak something here needs

to happen a process of ritual of remembrance or saying goodbye or pass it has to happen artist. felt that here for town outside berlin with nazi bunker towers between houses like this one collapsed. abandoned soviet barracks testified to the cold war. but it was a deeper layer of history that shocked her most a story nearly unknown and seldom told from the 1st world war people died in the camp because of hunger because of the morning germany already believe that people of color when not human during world war one prisoners from french and british colonies were kept here soldiers from africa and asia it was here that germany built its very 1st mosque meant to show where it was taking care of the mostly

muslim prisoners and they were not actually praying inside of the mosque it was too small for the amount of soldiers that were here which was up to $9000.00 but actually the soldiers were praying on the fields on the outskirts with guns on the head. a century later found the space is now a camp for asylum seekers. with the mosques to it is now a parking lot. only a tiny marker testifies to its existence. it was born in. but she feels a personal connection to bis place she came here to understand her own history. i found out a few years ago that my great grandfather had died in a german court on your count in north get on which used to be soft come on the family has never buried his buds. near the camp or the graves of any mates indian soldiers of the british empire who died while prisoners here.

or wonders where the other bodies of water. there is not a trace of african soldiers here that are better than 100. she believes there are traces in this nearby lake. i wanted to come here. and think about an underground. archaeology of water. her performance in arcadia how soldiers become mates together with artist and. is about remembering and mythologizing those who died. thank you nicole you don't always hear the closest voices of the left influencing them as they are far away i can talk you know every language i can help you then i would and which is to come back here was a way to bury those voices that were raised and those soldiers that were murderers

and make a sort of. yes act of healing and of burial in this water. the work also uses original audio recordings from the colonial prison camp. by biko believes that some contain the voices of female prisoners whose stories she says historians have ignored. i don't think that history disappears i think it's narratives take power but we have forgotten how to listen. she says it's up to the descendants of colonial victims to hear their ancestor story and bring them back to the surface. clutter. and that's all for this week so until next time thanks so much for watching and all the best. in the.

room or in the book you are no one on the no people are. going to learn from your local news for. exposing and justice global news that matters to you many things. television is for me. it. is for you. is for. me. and beethoven is for. beethoven is for covering one. beethoven 21. 50th anniversary here on.

kist artificial intelligence is a bit like a human who is inside something else n.-s. . all. this is 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 changing now minds. but what can it really do what will change and hope will remain signed fiction. to answer these questions we embarked on a journey to meet the some interests working on our future.

book and southern germany come to the headquarters of kuka the world's leading manufacturer of industrial robots. i have a shelf 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. that's what we try 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 it didn't do this for 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 problem i didn't program him in yet he's still learning the task by himself seeing that really motivates you to someone says you. know what if the rulebook sees a new object such as plan 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. 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 pounds 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. and they can independently adapt to their environment with a hunk of ai. but we're only in the early development stages. yet the mind if i have a favorite example and that's chess these days there are computers or ai they can be chess champions the shaft. 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 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 i don't need to spit on the compiler so dos. yet machines are getting better and more into. and this video was produced using special effects. but this robot has learned how to play table tennis it was built by research as i'm typing it 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 field of ai 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 it hurts or the 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 and some areas. that's the size of. 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 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. the doctors decided to amputate his legs just below the knee. there's the 2 years later hugh has ai legs which he developed himself he spoke on turning disability into

opportunity at the ted conference in 2014. disability. done to andrea and has led davis lost a leg in 2000 and fast. in the terrorist attack at the boston marathon thanks to the smart prosthesis by hugh had she can dance again. some needed. some thought. to use. 100000 . boston home to the massachusetts institute of technology.

at which you had to talk about artificial intelligence and the human body is the pioneer in the field of intelligent prosthetics a single person who is both developer 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 interacted and spent millions of dollars to the to arrive at this optimal architecture. you 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 started as a young male a certain legend. what what that blank space may look like what may fill that space. disability depends on perspective. hugh has developed an awful nonsense. with the special pathy she says he's developed himself he can once again to see his greatest passion climbing. so there was a computer in here there's 3 actually 3 and this 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 accelerations temperatures and whatnot all that information goes into the computer the computer runs our thems and then decides on the actions of the 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 by mechanical means it is so with that even nowadays if you do my mom or you you still go climbing absolutely and i run and he 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 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. and 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 of sensors in the bonnet and put information into the nervous system so the person can feel the panic moving its position its sensations as if it's part of their body this is almost philosophical because you have. the body and you have the

machine and you sort of start their merger inching 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 and it feels like a normal joint movement that the 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 bow and synthetic is you can upgrade. so given that our little lady professor i love graded every week i could do software and hardware with interest so i go buy a grow older write no secret and you can get new your i never saw a synthetic follow my body as approving of my biological body as gene generator which is very peculiar. to hugh 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 our body and machine asked slowly emerging. 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.

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 weld wind in 2018 in town the

average was 3 hours a day. it was just on the $6.00 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 was 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 9 but then she was targeted. i was harshly i tucked into 20 years or social media when i started writing about 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 checks 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 of the traumatic surprise extralegal mother's cries became a twitter trend of. even that didn't change public opinion in japan despite top scientists sharing we view she eventually lost the battle to fake news the accuse me because my writing is wrong and why writing is still being wrongly impacted our 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 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 . the spread of false information shown here in orange and correct information see here in blue. seen are 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. i did 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 fake news we are fighting the fake tears as you say fake this

to ask a question sir sir ok just doesn't like to take news has changed the political climate worldwide yes. it is a church and you have to get used to social networks and their intelligence algorithms are increasing division into science and. they vie for our attention feeding us exactly the information we knock what counts as a click right concepts and the length of stay and not where the content is true or trustworthy. this is 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 read profile thus our filter bubble is gradually formed.

and. everyone lives within their own network our opinion is 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 might money. 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 drones. 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 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. sometimes people do not fully understand what lethal autonomous weapons 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 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 armament 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 he we open the door to machines making those decisions we undermine the. basic principle of responsible human. little autonomy its 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 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 the room path we need almost wind down on autonomous intelligent weapons.

artificial intelligence will revolutionize industry in germany the term industry 4.0 has become a buzzword. cost robotic tools and then time production plants are being willing to fight sensors and equipped with ai but how well do many companies fare and won't want competition. dr michelle bonner is the head of the bush research center and running in patent wattenberg. ready ready ready official intelligence is one of the main focus points here. vendean the war and the industry when it comes to industrial ai the ai that plays a role in products that 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 to on that machine they have an advantage over companies that come purely from the virtual worlds. he's so i'm confident you will 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 front. 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 peace in beijing. soldiers flacks mao. this is the old image of the country but modern day china has awakened. digitalisation an artificial intelligence promise

a brave new world and entire nation seems intoxicated by its own progress. where is this palpable euphoria about the future stem from. me. 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 you know it and. in a transition or sinking we are more open to you know the latest technology and open to what 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 taxi deal with 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 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 to those kinds of induction because it is the ones in for example if i have. dinner with my friends and in a way or 1st has to know and phones and we put phones on a table. and then if somebody is picking up the phone by call us 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 you start 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. my sisters. to push the speed 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 the mobile transportation service didn't active and 400 chinese cities the platform organizes some fancy 1000000 trips a day. 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. we call this real time traffic information or. 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. connecting everything with everything else and generating added value from that the chinese are really really good at that will. china is a much younger nation there's a lot of energy and enthusiasm about what's to come there are a lot of investments always there are great education institutions here for example ching who are university in beijing and 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.
