where i come from we have to fight for a free press i was born and raised in a military dictatorship with just one t.v. shadow and a few newspapers one official information as a journalist i have worked on the streets of many counters and their problems are all was the same or do the social inequality a lack of the free them all to the press. go rush or gun afford to stay silent when

it comes to the fans and the humans and see them while the folds of the hunt decide to put their trust in us. my name is jenny harrison i work a d.w.i. . big deal in fields after 4 long years they finally donna spread out the european union as gray on a breakfast divorce deal the news means a decades long relationship will end on friendlier terms than featured major trade chaos can be avoided for the go she turns on both sides a bittersweet moment. feel

. the steel means a new stability and a new certainty to sometimes being at the front shoes and difficult relationship. we will be. this is the business i'm k. ferguson thanks for joining me the deal is done to 4 years off for the people of the united kingdom voted by a narrow margin to leave the european union the 2 sides have reached an agreement on the future terms of their relationship fundamentally the deal means that both sides can continue to trade without their goods having to pay tariffs there also won't be a limit on how much they can buy and sell to each other in other words no quotes they've also reached an agreement on a so-called level playing field for doing business european commission president or slough on the line said the e.u.

rules and standards will be respected we have effective tools to react if fair competition is distorted and impacts our trade finally they also agreed on the emotional issue of fisheries with the european union agreeing to reduce its quota for a fishing and british waters by 25 per cent for the next 5 years that seems like a win for the block britain britain had wanted 80 percent reduction during negotiations but there are still quite a few open questions this deal only governs the trade in goods not in services which are especially important to the british economy so while this deal is being hailed as a big achievement it does of course mark the end of a union that's been quite a fair trial at the best of times here's how european commission president or the last sunday line described the new relationship status. the united kingdom.

but it remains. on long. island. to be the cup 20 summit in. all the upcoming. kalyan g 20 presidency do you think in union united kingdom will. shoulder to deliver on our common global goals. and pressure prime minister forrest johnson have also been hailing the agreement focusing on the 5 of the trading relationship and evolved so i'm very pleased to tell you thoughtfully that we have completed the biggest trade deal yet worth $660000000000.00 pounds a year a comprehensive canada style free trade deal between the u.k. and the e.u. a deal that will protect jobs across this country if you allow goods u.k.

goods and components to be sold without tariffs and without quotas in the e.u. market a deal which will if anything allow our companies and our exporters to do even more business with our european friends. and this deal was of course a long time in the making and in many ways it represents the beginning of what could be a long post back the journey for the united kingdom my colleague daniel wynter on the road ahead. the deal is done a crisis of verted it's a relief for both sides after all half of the u.k.'s trade is with its european neighbors and the u.k. is the use 3rd largest trading partner the talks were painful but the alternative was worse pushing the begrudging neighbors closer together never has the european union offered so much to a so-called 3rd country the u.k. has enhanced its decision making at home but still has access to the e.u. market whereas the e.u.

has kept a key customer for billions of euros of goods selling british wares freely in the e.u. as market place is the 1st big step but britain still has a monumental task ahead of it before the bricks of britain had access to scores of deals now it's on a shopping spree buttering with partners to snap up trade pacts worldwide. the u.k. has already signed up $59.00 countries to continue trading under the same conditions as with the e.u. plus a fresh deal with japan that's $220000000000.00 euros worth of trade the new deal will be a relief on both sides of the channel but for britain the toughest times may lie ahead experts predict economic growth to slow living standards to drop right now the u.k. needs good news for its economy as with every where the pandemic has eaten away at growth hastening the decline of thousands of small towns and cities getting trade

humming through britain's ports will help mitigate those effects but will the opportunity cost of brecht's it leave the u.k. far weaker in the world than it could have been or will britain confound critics and build itself into a single pull on the english channel the odds are stacked against them but by getting a deal with the e.u. done britons have looks beyond their island and taken the 1st important step and speaking of looking beyond their own island let's get the transatlantic view on this deal from business correspondent yes quite to in new york yes this is of course huge news here in europe how important is this deal for u.s. investors a particular. well i mean more clarity and less uncertainty is always good for markets and actually we do see wall street gaining a bit in a shortened trading session here on thursday global trade disputes and also are usually not necessarily helpful and if we look back 4 and

a half years ago when we did have this surprise bricks and devote we also saw some pressure on wall street but having that said it's not necessarily a game changer for wall street this is mostly between the u.k. and the european union and investors on wall street they have so many things to deal with i mean there is the pen demick we are doing we do see some slowing growth so we have all this fight about a new a picket so there really a lot of things on the plate but it is welcome news also on wall street as i've said we do see u.s. markets slightly to the upside. ok so u.s. investors have a lot of things on their mind right now but of course one of the biggest issues iran backs it was britain wanting to make new trading relations and take you there with the rest of the well world where do you think their relationship between the u.s. and u.k. in the future. yeah i mean we have heard from boris johnson and there are some indications that the u.k.

might push forward by liberal trade agreement because the united states the big question is if it's really in washington's high priority list to get those this is a new deal done any time soon there is no pressure for the upcoming president joe biden 1st of all the u.s. actually has a trade surplus with the u.k. so why make big changes at this point and then also boris johnson was considered to be rather close with u.s. president donald trump and i'm not so sure if we have the same feelings between the upcoming president joe biden and boris johnson so i would be cautious to really believe that we get a new trade deal any time soon it might be in the interest of washington to really clear things for us was the european union and was china before they take care of the u.k. yes cutting you i thank you very much time now for

a quick look at some of the other business stories making news. turkey's lira has surged to a 5 week high against the us dollar after a bigger than expected interest rate hike the central bank raised rates to 17 percent to cool skyrocketing inflation the euro has been among the worst performing currencies this year down around 23 per cent amid coronavirus locked and double digit inflation. some $850.00 cargo stothard british airways are to begin a weeklong strike on friday over a pay dispute the unite union this says workers face pay cuts of up to 25 per cent shipments to and from britain have already been disrupted by border closures following the discovery of a new coronavirus variant. has restarted daily flights to and from london after receiving clearance from italy's health ministry the carrier

said passengers traveling to italy must be residents or have urgent reasons for the journey a negative covert 19 test is also required flights were suspended earlier this week because of the new virus variant. and finally how's this for a childhood dream come true the iconic toy store f.a.o. schwartz in midtown manhattan has opened its doors to overnight visitors for the 1st time ever the premises recent the advertised on home run full sized air b.n. b. the accommodation includes a living room overlooking the giant rockefeller center christmas tree the 1st family to avail of it hogs free run of the store including the giant step on keyboard nodes from the movie big they also got to take home some souvenirs.

and a reminder of the top story this hour the european union. have agreed on a deal governing the future off their relationship it comes 4 years after people in the u.k. voted by a slim margin to leave the bloc major sticking points and recent months have included securing a level playing field on trade dispute resolution on issues like. tops of our show for more you can visit our web site at t w dot com slash business we're on social media as well for the on the team it's goodbye take care.

designed to make our lives easier they adapt our personal habits to help improve our output at work but there is 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. come. cried miss 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 including 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 filmmakers. daughter caught in that any guitar an entire market is opening up in the digital sector that's tackling these questions. and i get to say it says 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 fed 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. 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. were 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 the spawn of guns 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 mentioned 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 and. give us advise on how best to act out in a sense this is a kind of open heart experiment that 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 westcott and what time. 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 tank why do users tend to disclose information voluntarily are they aware of the risks involved. these are just 2 of many pressing questions for researchers at the institute for ethics in ai. can be extremely disruptive in a negative way to society it can be sexist it can be racist it can be extremely unfair. didn't want to example in 2016 microsoft launched the taint 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 misfunction istic and

racist comments. and salted 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 not an important question given the damage that ai can already conference. you all may have been the victim of one just as because of your personal data on ai and you'll never know about it if you got the night if you ask for a job when you got the night if you asked for an apartment you got denied you may have been subjected to discrimination you'll never know about it and that is a huge problem so i argue that we should end the data economy even if not 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 and i argue that personal data should be included in that least. caress of their 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. dot get big take on then big check comes in and introduces the idea that it's not only god who can keep our souls alive form gods and that this could be performed by a different almost magical entity. and not in heaven but in the cloud in. the quest for immortality this is all this mankind the next generation might manage to make life eternal at least in the

digital world thanks to many online 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 the artificial intelligence finally be able to operate like my human brain. 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 autonomous lee 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 the best player artificial intelligence refers to the secular state gets my question but produces a pretty rote answer. google assistant alexa and siri are just equipped with weak ai. has is 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 forecast as soon as 2030 in 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 a 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 professionals who make sound decisions and can empathize with us maybe because they know how awful it can feel to be sick and . 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 reliance on groundbreaking technologies to

diagnose many diseases one might spread method is magnetic resonance tomography it provides doctors with high resolution images that reveal the structure of internal organs like the brain in great detail but how did you know what the wealth of data . to 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 captures pacific structures and the brains of these appears to be homeschooled. 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 they can't and the task.

diagnostic systems such as the one made by one berlin startup sometimes outperform doctors. we have 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 in the end a radiologist will only have to check over certain information so the software will do everything else on its own on the back of the line of mom machine learning is also playing a role in the fight against cope with 19 for example in developing new tests for the corona virus and half is 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 its developers say its accuracy is around 90 percent they are 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 missing cronan when done at a cut people 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 to vent to 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 startup in munich has developed ai software meant to increase the survival rate it creates a digital model of the patient's lungs and digital twin 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. who want to put in here to put it in so should. the software has yet to be licensed for medical use the company aims to bring it to market on 2023 the 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 still my job as a journalist he 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 on all of that so 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 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 shoes 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 dozens of cities to it all i do is transfer numbers from one spreadsheet to another and press send obviously that can be automated with a lot easier to come dozens for this. with some job interviews on the phone it's already a computer asking the question who's. considered and then 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. 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 doesn't 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 moved out of this place and i know. yes and it is there are technical solution for that a filter that prevents ai from being biased to escape detection of 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 so what the problem is it's incredibly hard to write rules for real life situations and processes because they're often extremely complex they're 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 at the 1st 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 all 5 on 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 the tune of course there might be a tiny chance this technology could save 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 here 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 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 view 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 work force enter data on what they do each day themselves the concept is the brainchild of silver 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 even think you might if there 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. shifted from. playing. with remote working becoming the new norm demand for monitoring

software has soared since the pandemic struck transparent business is also a kind of employment agency helping companies find vetted professionals from a worldwide pool of experts. both these activities use a i. very seriously if they that if they get in their missions because for example we use my finger data set on this which ferguson has that right when you see. you might 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 to stay 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 i'm a team bye bye stay healthy and c.s. .
