standard for detecting infection but its developers say its accuracy is around 90 percent they are still collecting audio samples to train the software. to do a little bit tired he going to measure the lungs activity during coughing and laughing for example reveals how much pressure can be exerted with the lungs on and when dozens are signal processing algorithms measure these things and missing kernan when done and a little are submitting audio samples that we are using to train our ai we also ask them if they've tested positive or negative and if they have any symptoms you mind eventa as and. when artificial ventilation is required for patients with severe respiratory disease the risks are high the ventilation can itself damage the lungs driving up the death rate. a start up in munich has developed ai software meant to increase the survival rate it creates a digital model of the patient's lungs but digital twinned and simulates the

airflow in the lungs it can then fine tune the pressure the ventilator should apply to each patient. but the arts can this here and if you don't move i'm trying till now doctors weren't able to see inside the lungs they only saw from the outside how much pressure the ventilator was applying to the trachea. with our technology doctors can really look inside and see what happens with the air in the lungs where it goes and where it over stretches the long tissue but do you know. when if you what's more since it's a digital tool it can be tried out on each patient's a digital twin without causing any harm for sure for it's applied to the real patient we all. want to put in syria put it in some shape. this software has yet to be licensed for medical use the company aims to bring it to market by 2023 the hopefully by then that 19 will be history. well let's hope so even. playing

a bigger role in medicine the number one question for many of us is how will it impact my job will i even have one in the future now the organization for economic cooperation and development says that in 2910 percent of all the jobs in the united states where under serious threat due to automation in japan it was 15 percent in germany more than 18 percent mainly because of the country's dependence on industrial manufacturing and that trend is expected to increase even in jobs that require very human trademarks like creativity compassion or the right contacts. artificial intelligence still my job as a journalist i can already write simple texts. as a journalist i'm worried because artificial intelligence can do so much in the way of processing information and generating texts to be concerned.

i don't think we'll see much impact on journalism but be a useful research and maybe you can help you make a film with the right music more quickly things like that and. having said that ai systems are already used in so-called robot journalism but only in very limited areas. because it's. do ai keeps on getting better all the time and more creative if i understand correctly perhaps my job isn't all that safe creativity is relative machine learning is good at repeating what's been done in the past and looks at data and see what happens and what situations these kinds of customers buy the issues with this sentence is translated like this creativity often means doing something new that's not been done before. but

simple office jobs could disappear in the foreseeable future. so it's often said that people who already work like a robot are most likely to be replaced by one and it's true about a dozen subsidies to it all i do is transfer numbers from one spreadsheet to another and press send obviously that can be automated to what is the fed can doesn't. with some job interviews on the phone it's already a computer asking the questions. is not always objective because it's fed by people it can sometimes end up being subjective is a big key from and much about design some say that once computers take over everything will be rational logical that is that's wrong humans have

a highly specialized gut feeling and computers will keep doing things the same way and assuming it's correct does it but if things have been consistently wrong for example squarely inviting women to job interviews because they i will continue to invite more men than women we have also without this place and i know. and it take is there a technical solution for that the filter that prevents ai from being biased escape detection again technology exists that can do that and if this is then that does this you can build a system with whatever rules you like you can tell it to invite 50 percent men and 50 percent women to an interview but. the problem is it's incredibly hard to write rules for real life situations and processes because they're often extremely complex complex. systems can recognize faces and estimate someone's

they're being deployed in a growing number of areas and are getting better and better. what about the fear that with ai computers will eventually become conscious and she was control can we rule that out well last month self-styled philosophers of technology like to make scary predictions and publish dire warnings in the press about what's going to happen often sides of this but some are journalists who just want to make a splash of all in order for elon musk also he's a good example is if he invests in ai and also issues warnings because he wants to be in the limelight you have to consider what these people aim to achieve to get to that of course there might be a tiny chance this technology could sit on such systems but i think it's a tiny chance and i can't imagine how it would work. looks like the people in charge will continue to retain oversight and responsibility for decision making now with about one 3rd of office workers around

the globe now doing their job from home keeping tabs on them has become a challenge special software lets managers monitor those in their home offices it is a practice that might be useful but is also highly controversial. some people find working at home a real treat. the boss is nowhere in sight the pressure is off. you can briefly check what's coming up then read the morning paper in peace. in fact why even bother getting up. but not all bosses take such a relaxed view with staff assembled in the office back in the prepared demick days management could keep closer tabs on who does what how well and how fast. around 30 percent of office workers worldwide now work from home. artificial intelligence to

the rescue from the management perspective that is. there is no software available that can remotely measure performance using data such as the link the phone calls who says what as well as keyboard and mouse activity. some companies take screenshots of employees computers at home or even film their employees. that's banned in germany but in some countries this kind of surveillance is flourishing i asked a global trade union federation what they make of this development. workers are used to being monitored just something stand and levels of productivity or at least a daily report on what they do you this summer monitoring systems are so intrusive and so disrespectful of any autonomy that people are very. very offended it really depends how the company implements it whether the workers have any say. a big

issue for labor organizations is that people should know what kind of data their employers intend to collect and are able to provide or deny their consent. transparent business is a us company that develops solutions for remote work force management one of its programs let's companies keep track of progress in their various projects who has done what they mean associated costs. and its own workforce in her data on what they do each day themselves and the concept is the brainchild of silvino mckinney seen here in a promotional film it was developed for use in a marketing agency she launched now it sells to companies worldwide and if you want to run every mile you need the challenge you get that's. so we benefit you might if there are even more efficiently and then we decided that it makes sense for us throughout the offices because when you have a go at you or your team is. so that acknowledged was

a game changer. that it was like suddenly. shifted from. playing. with remote working becoming the new norm man for monitoring software has soared since the pandemic struck transparent business is also a kind of employment agency helping companies find better professionals from a worldwide pool of experts. both these activities use a i. very seriously if you they they that if they get in their missions because for example we use my finger and they just sit down this week ferguson has that right when he goes to mike lee if there is something that is wanting to hire someone and i guess. i actually can't wait to get back to the office but i know many others want to see. a home war will be required to. end software that gives our bosses remote control over operations is set to play an increasingly important

role. and who would have thought that we'd actually miss those days at the office right that's all for this week thanks for watching for me and the entire may team bye bye stay healthy and see is.

the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection been developing. measures are being taken. what does the latest research say. information and context. the coronavirus of data the coded special monday to friday on d w. with him had a big gun did goes up because when the highest high you know if i had known that the boat would be that small i never would have gone on the trip but i would not have put myself and my paris in that danger of but it's a game of the what a beautifully it would. love one phone call the other one that would give them i have serious problems on a personal level. and i was unable to live there what i'm going to.
