2 security pushes missionizing. not have to be cheap so much money for john and i think people have to be. my name is on me and i work hard to tell you. how much do you like your jaw and what a computer could do the work for you and learn as it goes along so that it improves while on the job what impact will that have on your working and your private life artificial intelligence opportunity or threat that's our topic this week i'm bad i'm chris cuomo welcome ai systems are designed to make our lives easier they adapt

our personal habits to help improve our output at work but there's another area that developers and entrepreneurs have discovered where they are seeing huge financial potential death and how to ensure that the dead live on. tom. price you. i miss you too. very much here. i'll sign off now ok ok. ok. when i should die. 3 years ago. a man's deceased mother is brought back to life thanks to a computer simulation created by a young startup company its founders now want to sell their revolutionary chat bot

to a company that generates holograms of individuals essentially digital clones the 2 technologies combined promise to create a $1000000000.00 business. the german t.v. movie x it is set in the year 2047 but although it's science fiction it contains elements that are already a reality today. tech firms have been experimenting for decades with artificial intelligence building neuronal networks in order to teach machines how to learn act and react their business ideas focus on making people's lives easier although companies are well aware of the financial potential and death as well. as societies change so do their rituals and clearing how we relate to death a growing number of people want more than just the option of visiting the deceased

at their final resting place. how tech companies are making the most of that change is the subject of a book by 2 german film make. there's. a daughter caught in the guitar an entire market is opening up in the digital sector that's tackling these questions. can i get the stakes as perhaps there are new options and perhaps it makes sense for people to leave behind something so their loved ones can stay in contact with them at their. genes vlahos is the founder of a company called hereafter when his father was diagnosed with cancer he found a chimp bond with text and audio messages from his father as well as interviews with him the resulting down bond learned how to communicate michael's father. was then turned the idea into a business model after paying for

a subscription people can now send in record chats and phone videos of their loved ones the company then generates a custom chant bond with the voice of the deceased. family where you know who you. are you facing any big challenges in your life right now yeah sometimes you just need a little perspective. sure. meanwhile vine studios in south korea is taking things a step further essentially promising a virtual resurrection its website features a mother being reunited with a digital avatar of a deceased 7 year old girl 10. with the help of virtual reality gloves and goggles she was even able to have a virtual birthday party with her daughter. how

much with those in mourning be prepared to pay for a priceless moment like this and how would it affect them emotionally. i guess being most welcome is going to what happens with these customers and are they getting counseling often by family members maybe traumatized by experiencing a virtual clone of the dead person ancient i think because they have trouble differentiating between reality and virtuality social norms psychologists refer to the possibility of a morning where patients get caught in a loop of grieving and i can no longer escape the pain i was. given sometimes i have been stuck in a sense this is a kind of open hard experiment. extreme which is obviously extremely questionable and dangerous so all parties involved should be asking themselves whether they are aware of the responsibility that they will have to bear and. but it probably has to

be taken on a case by case basis and we shouldn't automatically condemn the transfer of our culture of mourning to the digital world. and effective use of artificial intelligence for such applications requires personal data scientists at the university of oxford in britain are examining the moral issues concerning the use of ai by big tech why do users tend to disclose information voluntarily are the aware of the risks involved these are just 2 of many pressing questions for researchers at the institute for ethics and ai. ai can be extremely disruptive in a negative way to society it can be sexist it can be racist it can be extremely unfair. i want to example in 2016 microsoft launched the taney chat bot which could communicate on its own on twitter after just one day of exposure it had to be taken offline after it began parroting massaging mystic and

racist comments to me and some to other users and used anti semitic language the researchers in oxford want to predict what will happen with digital clones of people in the future. that's a not unimportant question given the damage that ai can already conference. you may have been the victim of one just as because of your personal daytime ai and you'll never know about it if you ask for a loan and i've got the night if you ask for a job when you've got the night if you ask for an apartment you got the night you may have been subjected to this from the nation and you'll never know about it and that is a huge problem so i argue that we should end the data economy even if in the most populous of societies we agree that there are certain things that should be off the market votes people the results of sports watches i argue a personal data should be included in that. east. caressa very least contends that

privacy will be the most precious commodity of the future the fact is a lot of people appear increasingly apathetic about the issue especially digital privacy. they're eager to be a part of the community a function that faith has traditionally fulfilled and western societies at least the role of religion is waning. but people do still want to believe in something including life after death. dots it pick take on then big check comes in and introduces the idea that it's not only god who can keep our souls alive for him got him that this could be performed by a different almost magical entity. and not in heaven but in the cloud in. the quest for immortality it's as old as mankind the next generation might manage to make life eternal at least in

the digital world thanks to ai but the question remains not just how much money we would pay for it but what the true cost is. how close that is to becoming a reality is of course another question for many of us artificial intelligence is already a helpful part of our daily routine is not right siri let's see to what extent ai has infiltrated our lives and what the future might have in store. when will artificial intelligence finally be able to operate like my human brain when scientists doubt that what's called strong ai will achieve this anytime soon because human intelligence is so difficult to simulate strong ai systems would be able to think logically and autonomously they'd be capable of learning and speaking

naturally except that's still some way off. so if i'm looking for artificial intelligence my only option for now is what's known as weak. what is weak i'll ask my digital assistant. according to press to play their official intelligence refers to the security she gets my question but produces a pretty rote answer. google assistant alexa and siri are just equipped with weak ai. passes this retail robot but artificial intelligence is a fast growing market and it's improving all the time. on the research front the u.s. is the world leader with 30000 scientists and engineers working on ai it's followed by china and india germany only has 9000 ai researchers. as for what all these researchers are actually doing many of them work on software

for autonomous vehicle development where self driving cars maneuver their way through traffic on their own. according to some forecasts as soon as 2030 and some parts of the world 30 percent of cars could be autonomous thanks to ai and sometime this century driverless cars could be the norm on roads worldwide. today high performance ai supported robots like to venture they can perform surgery and they're far more precise than their human counterparts and some patients can now get computer aided diagnoses. ai in the medical sector has seen rapid growth. this year also spurred by the covert pandemic and next year the market is expected to be worth more than $6000000000.00 us dollars. but now back to digital assistants even though i'm

not so thrilled with mine their popularity continues to soar. 700000000 people used virtual assistants in 2017. soon almost a quarter of the global population will have access to one. the number of users in 2021 is forecast to exceed 1800000000. well as we heard there artificial intelligence is gaining ground in the medical sector when we're feeling ill we want doctors to give us advice right professionals who make sound decisions and can empathize with us maybe because they know how awful it can feel to be sick empathy might not be something you expect from software but artificial intelligence can deliver quick and accurate diagnoses for patients and soon it may be indispensable in the fight against cancer and even. modern medicine relies on groundbreaking technologies to diagnose many diseases one might

spread method is magnetic resonance tomography it provides doctors with high resolution images can reveal the structure of internal organs like the brain in great detail but how did they look at wealth of data. it's a target radiologists have very little time to analyze images nowadays maybe just 10 minutes per patient to look at $200.00 or even $400.00 images. they have to rely on their experience. it's our software by contrast analyzes each individual pixel and capture specific structures and the brains to be construct. machine learning makes it possible computers are fed huge amounts of data and trained to identify the patterns that could indicate certain diseases for example multiple sclerosis and other brain disorders in fact the more data the better take it and the task. they identified gnostic systems such as the one made by one berlin stand up

sometimes outperform doctors. you get tired of eventually we'll be able to automate every part of the process there will be more and more software to address very specific questions and in the end a radiologist will only have to check over certain information so the software will do everything else on its own within the text of the on line and mom machine learning is also playing a role in the fight against cope with 19 for example and developing new tests for the coronavirus and out this in the works that uses coughing sneezing and other sounds from the voice is biomarkers to detect the disease. it may not replace the p.c.r. test the gold standard for detecting infection but it's developers say its accuracy is around 90 percent they're still collecting audio samples to train the software.

to know when to tie the growing it's about the lungs activity during coughing and laughing for example reveals how much pressure can be exerted with the lungs around and when dozens are signal processing algorithms measure these things and miss them kernan when done little are submitting audio samples that we are using to train our ai and now we also asked them if they've tested positive or negative and if they have any symptoms human events was and tore my heart 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. the start of the new nick 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 of the ventilator should apply to each patient. doubts come 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. and what's more since it's a digital tool it can be tried out on each patient's a digital twin without causing any harmful for its supply to the real patient to. want to put in to put it in surgery. this software has yet to be licensed for medical use the company aims to bring it to market by 2023 and hopefully by then covert 19 will be history. well let's hope so even with ai 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. with artificial intelligence do my job as a journalist it 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 i don't be a useful research on all of that so maybe you can help you make

a film with the right music more quickly things like that. 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 and machine learning is good at repeating what's been done in the past looks at data and sees 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. this could.

fall 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 cutting dozens for this club. with some job interviews on the phone it's already a computer asking the question who's. considered again ai is not always objective because it's fed by people it can sometimes end up being subjective is a big deal from and much about design some say that once computers take over everything will be rational logical does is that's wrong that 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 then ai will continue to

invite more men than women we have also moved out of this place and i know a lot. yes and it takes is there a technical solution for that a filter that prevents ai from being biased to escape detection mcgeady 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 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 carriers and are getting better and better at the 1st or what about the fear that with ai computers will eventually become conscious and cheese

control can we rule that out. 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. 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 this not to of course there might be a tiny chance this technology could spawn 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 to 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 length of 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 this some of the 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 i mean associated costs. in its own workforce enter data on what they do each day themselves and the concept is the brainchild of sylvia seen here in a promotional film it was developed for use in a marketing agency she launched now it sells to companies worldwide. if you want to run every mile you need to challenge your estimation and. so we benefit your managed care are even more efficiently and then we decided that it makes sense for us throughout all this is because when you have a go at the more you are. so that it not actually was a game changer. it was like suddenly. shifting 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 am they that are going to get in their missions because for example we use my few very data set on this which ferguson has that right when he chose to microwave it person that is wanting to hire someone like that. i actually can't wait to get back to the office but i know many others want this. they at home or will be required to. and 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 our show for this week thanks for watching from me and the entire may team bye bye stay healthy and serious.

culture. hair. superfood stylish style icon. let o's. life style you're a hero. on. the

this is deja vu news live from berlin the latest tough sentence handed down by a court in turkey an exiled journalist who criticize the government is sentenced in absence to 27 years on charges of espionage and aiding in terror will get his reaction to the verdict also coming up germany reports its highest a daily death toll from the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic in one of the worst affected parts of the country it's not just hospitals that are working to capacity crematoriums in the eastern state of saxony are struggling to keep up with the search and downs.

i'm kyra trades and welcome to the show a court in istanbul has sentenced one of turkey's best known journalists to more than 27 years in jail on spying and terrorism charges the case against agenda and are centered on an article he wrote for the opposition newspaper trumpery at where he was editor in chief he presented a compelling evidence in 2015 that turkey's intelligence service illegally sent weapons to syria. fled to germany 4 years ago and will likely not serve any of the sentence. let's hear now from the man himself john dunbar joins me from berlin where he lives in exile china 27 years in jail that can't feel good but how surprising is this decision for you. i think we're having some technical problems there we'll see if we can bring him back later in the show but let's be honest i think story's germany has reported its

highest a daily crow virus death toll since the start of the pandemic $562.00 people died from or with the virus in at the last 24 hour period and one of germany's hardest hit region saxony the mortality rate has begun to overwhelm those whose job it is to deal with the bodies. they've been working round the clock at mice incriminatory i'm the coronavirus means they've had to deal with many more bodies this year. for parking zone this year would cover and have covered 19 victims inside with a safety precautions in place it's nearly impossible to have direct contact with the dead but it cannot become. kermit turin's here in the state of sex in the current maximum capacity that half the coffins have a coronavirus tica highly infectious the state premier is warning residents the

next 10 weeks will be the most difficult. and. there will be a 3rd wave the question is how high will baby. and everyone who is dealing with this is war had about how much higher than the current peak it will climb. the number of new infections might last be leveling out to people in mice and what answers from their late is they just come to great there were no clear rules no one is going outside anymore people are infecting their own families some people are following all the rules and others a coming up with their own theories they say there is no corona virus. but every day there are more coffins in the criminal containing the bodies of covered $9000.00 victims. rather i spoke to tara from the world health organization he says germany is not the only country seeing a rise in case numbers and stats. last week has seen the highest on record number

of quoted 1000 cases reported to w chill would more than 4600000 newly infected people and over 78 dollars in debts and your report just reminds us in a green way to told use the stars is taking on our society so it is. 'd it is up to us to do everything we can to try to stop these fires to suppress it as much as we can is reaction here in get some of positive news about iraq scenes and countries are starting to to vaccinate people we have to understand that we are still not dared to take time and we need to do everything we can to try really to slow down to the progression of dividers. tied to sarge from the world health organization i'm talking to earlier there let's take a look now at some of the other developments in the pandemic drug makers biotech

and pfizer are to supply the united states with an extra $100000000.00 doses of their corona virus vaccine the u.s. government is hoping to immunize $20000000.00 people this month france meanwhile has lifted its blockade against truck drivers returning from the united kingdom provided that they tested negative for coke at 19 britain says it could take up to 3 days to process the backlog and the united arab emirates highest islamic authority has rules that vaccines are acceptable even if they contain pork gelatin there were fears that some muslims might avoid the shot because pigs are considered unclean. now some of the other stories making headlines around the world a huge fire has broken out in a migrant center housing around 1200 people in bosnia local media reports say the fire began in the section of the lead by camp near the croatian border where oil and generators are also stored it's not yet known whether there are any casualties

. u.s. a president donald trump has announced a wave of pardons including for 4 former government contractors convicted of killing unarmed iraqi civilians also card and former republican congressman found guilty of corruption and a former campaign aide convicted of lying under oath joining the investigation into russian meddling in the 2060 election. china's a decade e.u. and one has wished to germany's ambassador quote good riddance as berlin's a 2 year term on the un security council and it was came after christophe high sent a pill to beijing in an online council meeting to release 2 imprisoned canadians. a danish free diver has set a new record for swimming underwater on a single breath steve severinsen a swim at 202 meters without surfacing beating the previous record by 35 years and

it took him 2 minutes and 42 seconds the record was set off the coast of mexico. let's return now to our top story and the latest tough sentence handed down by a court in turkey that he now is a jonathan jar from from berlin where he lives in exile trying to 27 years in jail how surprising is this decision for you. unfortunately not surprising because from the beginning it was the kind of venture. of government. me. on was promising to do. to give the most. possible price for this new story which was a true story. so they wanted to punish me because of this true story and at the same time try to intimidate the other journalists in turkey who

dare to touch that and that kind of sensitive issues i say you see this as a form of intimidation from the turkish government but personally speaking what sort of impact is this sentence going to have on your day to day life. not much because i've already spent some time in jail because of this new story i was shut out into a key i came to exile. my assets were confiscated and you know i propelled mall most of the prices so. i don't think that that's new on your punishment would change anything in my life so i will keep on reporting from germany towards turkey and still are you and your team planning to appeal the decision yes we will do it but still i mean the judicial system

is totally almost almost totally under the control over it was government so 'd there's no hope for the for the appeal courts but we will go to the european court of human rights and i hope they will certify that this is not the act of terrorism but act of journalism all right so you do it live here in berlin do you think that germany is doing enough about human rights abuses in turkey. i mean if you're calling germany or the german public and german media there they've been really supportive especially today i saw it too much sold from the german media in germany probably what the german government of course supporting media freedom everywhere in the including turkey but at the same time they don't want to neuer at all in the government because of different reasons refugees deal you know trade with key arms they like cetera so they don't want to put much pressure on government

and specifically what actions would you like to see feeing taken by germany that if you are they should be more in solidarity forces of democracy struggling to make the. people's resistance the opposition is kind of in. line. they should be more in touch with them. but fortunately they're more sleazy dealing with their own government trying not to see the other 2 . right hand and our thank you very much for speaking to us until. i think you. want to go shares in brussels and maybe close to reaching a bracks a trade deal between the united kingdom and the european union that's according to multiple media reports which say a deal could be announced shortly britain's negotiating team has spent the day in

talks in brussels earlier trade he briefed ambassadors of how progress in the long running meetings there are now only 8 days to go until the current trade agreement expires. straight to brussels then and max and our who is covering the story for us max we are hearing reports that a deal could be imminent others are being more cautious what are you hearing from their. that's right clear it seems that a christmas miracle might be heading towards us but it's a little bit too early to tell negotiations are still taking place here in brussels behind closed doors the e.u. chief negotiator negotiator michel barnier yesterday told us that they were going for the final push there in the final stretch of hammering out the last details and trying to get a deal now this would be indeed the last attempt before christmas to get things

sorted to get a little bit of certainty to get the hopes up also in the middle of the uncertainty and chaos that we've seen over the the past couple days and weeks and rumors have it that according to u.s. officials we're almost there a deal could be done about potentially by the end of today or within the next 24 hour or so and phase is the key word here and word also has it that the commission put member states on standby an ambassador meeting has been pencilled in for tomorrow that's what we're hearing so that is latest but we still have to wait for 4 more details to emerge and what happens if they are unable to strike a deal i mean what are really the implications here with the clock ticking. well that would mean that the u.k. would crash out of the out of the e.u.

but with a with a hard breck's it right now they're still in the. in a phase after after rex it were still some of the e.u. laws and regulations apply but this is potentially this would mean or this this would mean that starting january 1st. there would be tariffs we would see tears and duties and goods which would cost a lot of jobs cost a lot of care would create a lot of chaos at the borders for example and the negotiations between taking place over the course of this year some of the sticking points were fisheries and of course the level playing fields what do you think of the most recent stumbling block is. well it's still pretty much pretty much that is what it is still as of today fishing fisheries is a big issue the u.k. won sovereignty over their fishing waters wants to once once quotas for you fishers wants to control who gets access to to u.k. fishing grounds the e.u. fishers. in particular french fishers dutch for shares want to fish there and at

the same time the u.k. wants to sell their own fish on their own that you market and want to avoid tariffs there so fishing is still it so it's this relatively small issue in terms of. the size of the sector if you compare to the overall trade volume but it's a highly symbolic and highly emotional issue and then the bigger issue would be the level playing field the e.u. wants to make sure that if the u.k. has access to its internal market that it applies the e.u. rules and again the u.k. wants 70 there so that is basically still what we're looking at but right now it seems that we're edging a little bit closer in the go shooters are still in the room but also the leaders have got involved on the line the commission president as well as you can prime minister boris johnson so it seems that we're it we could be almost there but we'll have to wait right to max and our reporting for us from brussels he very much.

that's a news update at this hour stay tuned for business with my colleague kate ferguson and say richardson implementor mean the whole team thanks much for watching.
