this is deep ugly news live from berlin india's farmers prepare a day of mass protest on a national holiday they're demanding the government repeal agricultural reforms that they say would destroy their livelihoods it's one of the biggest challenges yet to be authority of prime minister never end ramadi also coming up bad blood between the european union and a major corona virus vaccine maker astra zeneca says it's cutting deliveries to the e.u. where the vaccine rollout has been slow at best. plus

a sprawling vault of knowledge perhaps more important than ever but when state library reopens after 16 years of renovations its collection spanned the centuries and now special significance for democracy in sedations digital age. and told me all laddie but welcome to the program many thousands of angry farmers in india gathering for a day of mass protests on one of the country's national holidays it's republic day in india marking the day the country's constitution came into effect prime minister narendra modi who's been the focus of the farmers anger laid a wreath at the flame of the immortal soldier in the capital danny. farmers have been have camped out for weeks demanding the government scrap and i agree culture
6:02 am
reform that they say helps big companies at the expense of food producers. one of the protesters. said non-singing was fascinated by his father's tractor as a 6 year old he would follow him to these fields soon after deciding to leave school and farm for a living but now he's afraid he could lose everything. thanks to new agriculturally formulas passed by the indian government but he doesn't plan to wait to find out. he's traveling to delhi to join the ongoing farmers for tests that. it's better to stay there for 6 months it's better to die there we don't care. if we lose our farms will die anyway so we might as well die there confronting the government. since deni and some good preet will be looking after the fields right he is
6:03 am
a very good pete has already spent 10 days at the protest he does his father to pack extra to believed as he's called. and seeing plans to do just that. with the help of his wife and daughter this is the 1st time he will be spending more than a couple of days away from his family and his family's. the call to move comes when it is still dark out the families have to be on their way at the crack of dawn singh's daughter coleman is proud of her father but also avoided she says she knows he must go because their futures are it stick. cameron munter the prime minister should understand that he is in his position because of farmers i'd like to remind him that it's the farmers grain the farmers vote that has made him what he is. saying expects to drive to midnight and then again for 7 or 8 hours the next day.
6:04 am
but spirits are high. c standard we're not alone 40 or 50000 of us are taking care of and to get these black laws revoked we don't care how long it takes we'll stay put until these laws are rolled back. the got a man has to cover over 400 kilometers on still but this meant for the farms but lucky there is a lot of help along the way. across from job those who cannot participate in the protests are setting up community kitchens to support the farmers there is even fee fuel and medical services. even as the light starts feeding sink still expects to dry for another 6 hours he says he scored on his back hurts but there is no option they must make it. and driving relentlessly they do ahead of schedule.
6:05 am
songs of protests well through the doubt about. this almost momentarily forget their exhaustion. everyone we are so i'm happy to be in delhi we're here to fight. and sing knows this isn't going to be easy. but. multiple rounds of negotiations with the government has feed dozens of deaths including suicides have been deported. but this has only added to singh's determination he has left behind everything he loves for the 1st time he says he will be sure to make it count. continue with that story from delhi now where our correspondent manoora charge very joins us now in the mirror good to see you what's meant to be a day of national joy is set to be a day of national protests q tell us more about these planned demonstration
6:06 am
well the plan is that after there in public before it concludes thousands of farmers have been jumping on different sides of the city to protest these fall laws will take out a massive tractor rally a truck to put it in different parts of the city as a way to muck their protest on the day of her public dig now the delhi police has given them permission there are of course certain guidelines that showed that they can follow the number of participants allowed they have been taught not to carry out any sit in the demonstrations during these parades now it's important to remember that the beginning these protests have been a peaceful one and the promise to do to help lead to decode this rally in a peaceful but a book that often. the police at some point need to a crackdown and clashes. ok. so far we've seen this profile must come out for so long these protests have gone on for so long why are these farmers so angry
6:07 am
. well simply said. 6 they think that the farm laws which are we pushed in by the government are and from these here that you know these laws if they are implemented in full force will put several kind of these to actual the farmers on the on the produce on the export of the previews on the marketing of the produce and most importantly these laws this is the point to effect the system in which they get a minimum assured income from the government agencies now a few weeks ago the supreme court has put a hold a temporary hold of the implementation of these law then why this law was welcomed the farmer that taking it with athletes of thought because they're saying that the committee which has been created by the supreme court to look into these protests actually has members were all brought along so they're not very sure about this committee you know what do you want to the portabello of these 3 lots and despite all this opposition from the farmers why is the government still so intent on
6:08 am
having these reforms well the government on its part says that these laws are good for the farm or these are good for agriculture that going to allow farmers to make more profit to market and explored their produce more freely but the go but the the critics and the farmers on their part say if that this is just it was the these laws are basically going to benefit the corporate then government critics say is known to be a corporate friendly government and what and the pharmacy that these laws of the essentially benefit will increase the number of private flares in agriculture and will benefit the corporates and not be pompous. when you're a child really in delhi thank you for bringing us up to speed. and we're just seeing images of the parade going on the. now we'll just continue with headlines from around the world. democrat lawmakers

delivered as soon as possible and we want our contract to be fully fulfilled the european union wants to know exactly which those says have been produced where by astra zeneca so far and if or to whom they have been delayed that. astra zeneca has blamed the cut on production problems at a plant in belgium but the e.u. health commissioner has called the drug makers justifications unsatisfactory the uncertainty is jeopardizing the e.u.'s goal of vaccinating 70 percent of its adults by summer. and with vaccine supply currently limited gemini's health minister and the rest of the european union a pressing to get more dozes to the block yen spawn told political editor michel a curtain and that he wants to see farah treatment of the european union. it offends if one of them and it would be a good idea if companies had to obtain

extra dams rights museum is home to the nightwatch rembrandt's most famous painting . researchers are gathering data that will be fed into an ai machine learning algorithm. how did rembrandt create this extraordinary work. could there be a computer system at the heart of such masterpieces. could there be a code for what we call art.
6:17 am
all time to one back. in his berlin studio the artist foreman lipski shows us how the dialogue between him and his music began 3 years ago. lipski paints and a computer answers. and a i muse who knows precisely how he works. on the slope. of the desk this was the starting point i wanted to paint there's image i took the motif and painted it 9 times from the top left to the bottom right. and what i did was did utilize the images
6:18 am
including all the interim phase and. then i send florian a file of about 50 images of the digital photographs and sick them so that he had information right on the algorithm or. for me to. use how the algorithm works based on looks these images the ai system has learned to replicate the artist's style. the system can now turn whatever data it is fed with into a lipski painting. the state it's going to have a thing that i'm looking at what the individual networks have generated. how they alter the original picture or it. because they had with that i'm trying to create an optimal image. and. own an image i can
6:19 am
use as the basis for a painting on a campus. this is my. basically it's like an ultra modern scratch. one of those as that's the software on these it's in there largely basically our music is a type of software. these so-called neural network we use i think of very specific architecture a machine learning system is capable of analyzing roman lipski paintings distilling facets from them deconstructing them and then constructing something new and generating hundreds of thousands of variations. so again. he does his theme of here you can see how the system interpreted this section on the right has a lake so added blue that it must. have softly and for it's the only image generated that has that feature. so that really fires up room or inspires him to
6:20 am
take it to the next level and pick up on certain details just as tim bush line it does 60 ai is incredibly fast but roman once said to me that what's exciting is that this allows him to take his time as. never paints exactly what the artificial muse proposes it simply points him in a direction gives him an idea a spark a stimulus. in the last few years. he has to do when he's seeking inspiration is plug in his computer. the arrival of the artificial museum's life helped him out of a profound creative crisis. this is only for the. this here is a later work. in
6:21 am
my work used to be representation of both i was trapped in a patent pub at some point i started thinking more about abstract paintings the. book form and father were shifting when i learned that none of my attempts worked out i just wasn't coming up with anything better than me and i ended up with a creative crisis in season. i was wracked by doubt. unsure if it was what i should be doing been. living this good i'm still alive and i have been plenty of artists who killed themselves this isn't this is seriously these doubts can be overwhelming when you start to question your very existence. it's not cool or existence in fog or stirs this is.
6:22 am
why do human beings create art. where does the impulse come from. impulse strong enough to dispel overwhelming feelings of despair self-doubt. mozart's requiem so about mortality. shakespeare explores the concepts of love power and jealousy. turning to anthropologists the earliest expressions of human creativity date back some 40000 years. modern homo sapiens developed a new kind of self-awareness and began to find ways to project thought and feeling onto the world around them. and i think our artistic and creative works are an attempt to actually sober scientific problem which is the whole problem of consciousness. i can't know what it feels like to be you and you can't that know what it feels like to be me but our
6:23 am
creativity is somehow or our op best way of trying to share that world in our art is always our the best f. m.r.i. scanner to see what it like is like to be another human being. siri how can i help you isn't the sunrise magical summarizes the moment when the limb of the sun appears on the horizon in the morning the turn can also refer to the entire process of the solar disk crossing the horizon. rembrandt was renowned for his ability to portray deep human feelings and challenge the conventions of a self-portrait. is it possible to replicate his genius. that's a question explored in a privately financed project called the next rembrandt. here data scientists an artist oriented set out to create a rembrandt painting using artificial intelligence. only for team work and we supplied the surface data of rembrandt's work we scanned some of his later works
6:24 am
and were able to provide a dataset of their surface structure. as that. it is only concerned that was very important in terms of ensuring his brush stroke was convincingly replicated in the new virtual rembrandt. system. on their menus against. when we trained the algorithm with this dataset we were able to calculate chemical resemblances the machine could then identify places in the body of work where the paint had been similarly mixed in the palette of any commission ordered. computer of wood or stone in beautiful links in the what we have on the left here is a chemical map of the painting depicting the various palette mixes used in rembrandt's workshop. and on the right we can see where these colors were used in
6:25 am
the paintings for sheen and. imbued. with the parts of the face and we started to compare them and based on this we're able to create a typical rembrandt i love henri. after generating the features me were focusing on the face proportions we used an algorithm that kind. they're over 60 points you know painting they were able to align the faces and estimates the distance between the eyes the nose in the mouth of the. painting is not a tutti picture it's treaty you can see the canvas you can see the process and that's what makes the painting come on a high 5 percent sure to make the painting a painting. we incorporate the hype into the paint that i'm putting through on the
6:26 am
train the printer that uses a special paint base you reading it printed many layers one on top of the other which resulted in the height and texture of the final painting. surely only rembrandt could create a rembrandt. yet this rembrandt was created by a machine. so what is it. imitation. or is it art. skipped too much money to move people are always asking will artificial intelligence be more intelligent than human intelligence as i always say have you
6:27 am
ever used a pocket calculator even if that is way more intelligent than you are if you do so it's nothing then again the idea that certain technological systems that simulate intelligence can outperform humans but those 2 flights to conclude from that that a pocket calculator is a being that is aware of what it's doing is irrational i think you'll any smith really see computers being creative in code being creative not not just being a tool for our own creativity. when they have their own internal worlds now that's probably a long way down the lawyer but i don't think it's impossible that a computer will become so complex that it will actually start to feel things and actually have a sense of self. shunts is by how they should defer. trying a computer conference in the process i was saying i'm not as rigid as you think.
6:28 am
they are as electronic a center and it's also known as the museum of the future. artists and its future lab are experimenting with algorithmic composition an area of research recently revolutionized by a neural network called music. trained with music ranging from beethoven to the gaga it can create compositions without having any understanding of the music. simply by recognizing patterns and predicting the next step in a sequence. here it's creating a composition in the style of mozart with a little bit of chopin thrown in. there
6:29 am
with deep learning models neural networks you don't set any rules and down to the machine learns by itself which data works best and that is that it's fascinating that it doesn't have to think about musical structures such as consonants or dissonance with the machine learns completely independently and. more than any other artistic form musical composition is governed by rules. but throughout history scientists have wondered does all art in fact follow rules. even art that elicits an emotional response the this is or even coming into this it to another use it to imagine that the saudi national. health island is the that the
6:30 am
difficult. or not it will be up the. money these are their mothers in the old at the end of these and there was. this. is their good luck these if i get the message is there. september 2900. year at the r.'s electronica festival. the i'm 20 pork no orchestra is performing monarch unfinished a piece of music made by man and machine. the ai system usenet has completed the un finished movements of gustaf manas 10th symphony. as it's annexed what do you software that we could be for to look for from other usually nothing to do for a few 1st the ai system was founded with the complete works of course stuff mama so the dataset contains every fragment of manas sounds but as well as other music from the late romantic era of them before. then it was given a theme for
6:31 am
a 5 minute composition written this does build a famous theme in the 1st movement. yes and so this. is why there was then the leo now comes in. this work mahler grieves for his wife. on my spelling her initials within the notes of the a and e. flack for the german. impact on the. leadership you know this is exactly the same news natch was given closer than it was able to make its own decisions based on face vast data set it was trained with these 4 and they composed a piece of music something completely new company and it's a mission unto him. is
6:32 am
this model for music. it's music. the music is so great this could hurt inside and i thought my music is a really good in my opinion or you can identify the theme and then recurring elements from the theme each with a very skillfully developed by the ai model then. you can tell how the game has been deconstructed all movie other listening that i was certain sequences have been given prominence and think on is the one hand how the piece progresses from a gentle pianissimo to a powerful 14 in the space of just a few minutes emotion was enough and up on the.
6:33 am
technically it sounds like mahler. but does the music convey a story and intention. whose voice is it worth are we hearing. that means i mean blamed for british women's rights and what the in for months on victim if we did a blind tast just if we knew nothing about how these beasts. being composed given its machine made often lime games then would probably be taken in a tradition and a fire in a wrong note said here's to the rules of voice leading there are intriguing hominids. in technical terms it's astonishing that almost if the question remains what does it mean nixon pulled us they don't it is going to. die off of i can't answer that as it basically the answer is that it means nothing. as opposed
6:34 am
as in as you fear what's the point and that's the problem when we hear something to immediately searches for meaning or in her name for emotional content in which where does it get us all flawed it gets us nowhere it's a simulations newborn this isn't a single it's own. they are uses mathematics and logic to produce results but are astoundingly similar to art. that suggests that the processes involved in making art are actually quite predictable. but predictability is surely the opposite of creativity. which is about finding novelty and different perspectives exploring uncharted territory.
6:35 am
innovating. so what you see here is the movements i just recorded and now this is a continuation of my movements in the style of for the. company so in this case you can see here then. just that if you look at the story each time there is a new innovation. and brisket and make new art with it and i'm the dr person for that but if you ask the artists around this i was surprised that many were really excited by these technologies and he wanted to understand them wanted to see this kind of think that if you can improve their own . paris home to the headquarters of google arts and culture
6:36 am
the tech giants nonprofit creative playground. artists are invited to come and experiment here with new algorithms. for now it's all just a bit of fun hardly world changing. first you have to approach any major. and. there but i will it starts at the 2nd part of the tool which is about hungary the battle. the butterfly and the background merge into an infinite pattern a synthesis of form shape and color. the computer hasn't been told what to do. this is its own imagination.
6:37 am
the images that this tool makes can visualize a potential of an object and its correlation with its background so it's not just that background cut and paste image but it's just much more recourse if and in it for some like it looks like my work. i always created from an instinct and there when i was sitting at the table at google it's just i felt like everything i ever that brought me to that table and helped me to understand what i have been doing. compile the rhythm has no visual ability. it turns images impulses and impulses into images. no human being could ever devised these infinite variations. in our demi doc has to
6:38 am
do is select the images she likes best and build upon them i think there's a very big misunderstanding in the role of why humans are born in a sense i do believe that we are born to transcend we are born to be creative we are born to to dream we are born to seeing where i'm. born to make where we are not born to stand or we're not born to execute robotic tasks so i do believe that ai machine will take away all the pragmatic repetitive dirty dog dangerous boring part of our creativity so that we can just like be visionaries. the invention of the telescope changed the way humans saw the world. ai could be a similar game changer. mayu clinger mine is an internationally celebrated digital
6:39 am
artist. he's fascinated by the virtual world to the algorithms generate. throws the doors of perception wide open. named one of the things one sees an algorithm takes $128.00 dimensions and breaks them down to. you know way it allows us to visualize a world that isn't visible to. an algorithm creates a virtual map out of all of the works of art google's data bank. but what about the gray areas between the artworks. uses a generative adversarial network again a powerful class of neural networks to visualize how the computer sees that.
6:40 am
they get. what about here. and it looks like there are no images in the database that fit here. so another model had to be found one that doesn't sort data but it generates data and that model could try to give us an idea of what it thinks is there. that's the deadlock that stays as that it now deb it is something exists within the world of these models and if i use again i could generate this image and possibly it would be something we recognized would view that often but 2nd. while the human brain has limitations the computer brain can turn chaos into order. the way it selects structures is astonishing inspiring. it goes against all human understanding of.
6:41 am
what we see here are i suppose the creatures from the in-between areas in solution of all the. different they have elements of plants insects animals. to go in does this feel like the machine doesn't recognise categories such as humans animal plant which is very interesting right it is mentally does is. this and takes 2 and it's exam is it so these are merely textures that have been put together. and we could say this is more insect like except for its eyes. and now it's more like a blowfish. of fish. is a slightly weasely rodent like a dog here or very fluid in a non-spatial that's what's fascinating us. this is alice alice and
6:42 am
humans have a very pronounced spatial awareness and that's fine because we humans like clear definitions but we like to pigeonhole and sort everything into groups belongs here it doesn't belong there with the decor but the decor for good and this isn't even. we don't there are clear definitions to be she's obviously she isn't but in fact there are these gray areas where everything is in flux. little 500. in the infinite data kos-mos that is ai everything is possible just as the telescope did when it was invented over 400 years ago it could change our view of the universe and our view of ourselves.
6:43 am
but where does that leave artists. model clinger mark can instruct the computer to produce a brand new portrait. the algorithms generate results on an endless loop. on memories of passes by is a machine that i created that will keep on. generating portraits of money existing people. 'd forever. how.
6:44 am
do. you. prefer. i think one of the reasons that we're creative as humans is because we want to leave something behind because we realize our own mortality and you know if you create a piece of music or a painting or in my case a piece of mathematics you know i do feel that that will outlast me a help to extend. my own consciousness beyond you know my death consciousness the way i was you to do mental time travel you can see yourself in the future and that involves seeing yourself and your own.
6:45 am
can you read me a poem. on the. on the run. in a tremulous night sustenance in abundance this life. keeps me busy dealing even. if it keeps me busy year light hearted longing golden limbs wild blood secret. your heavenly charm your evanescence source inspires me you healing creature i chased the soul like peacey. they had clearances and i'm giddy then me what if someone sends you such
6:46 am
a poem and asks you what you think of us too and what do you do money a stand there you are or did you sleep on it. all one penned by. an algorithm fed with good turn and. extraordinarily authentic sounding. project developed by the digital creative agency tunnel 23 vienna. how did i feel well it was quite a shock let me tell you. i'm shock. how going to machine write a poem and get dish does the standard home that made it into the brentano company's poetry anthology is indian to look it up and. we look at each other we exchange dark words. we love each other like poppy and
6:47 am
recollection. lines written by a flesh and blood poet power it's a lot. words that evoke even more than the sum of their parts. a i could imitate ceylon recognize patterns predict the next line. but with the effect be the same. type of virus in one of us or we had my till now we knew that art was created by a human whether they lived 10000 years ago housing or were still alive today that then citizen but now you might read something that moves you that perhaps even brings tears to your eyes and ted isn't the work of a human is if leisel got some violent thing last i want. is this and she isn't of that poem even though it puts you in touch with your sadness is done is done i miss the gig now mitzi said. input output. perhaps as many scientists say humans are simply highly
6:48 am
sophisticated machines so sophisticated that they have developed self-consciousness can ponder their own existence. yet the self remains one of the greatest mysteries of science. i think therefore i am. for centuries descartes statement was the cornerstone of western philosophy. but many brain researchers nowadays argue that the sense of self is merely an illusion. just as i talk and he says it's impressive how much this argument has developed but it doesn't alter the fact that we are beings that know very well what it means to have consciousness was a perceived color out of it's to experience a feeling such as sadness to all we don't need science or psychology to tell us what it means to feel sadness to be and was a size 12 says. sadness
6:49 am
is described in binary code as 30 wants and 26 zeros. to human beings could have a long conversation about what sadness means. but for a machine meaning semantics is not a factor it has no consciousness. semantics is the holy grail of ai research. current. there is a. hungry man reach for the book it is a weapon said bet one question. these days with tens of thousands of new books published every year. a book is also a commercial product. publishing houses need bestsellers bam they are can help find . an algorithm can calculate
6:50 am
a best seller. status list cyclist midgets move down a technique mr confession shit against nuclear stuff i thought it must be possible to use tech and artificial intelligence to identify patterns and belts and bestsellers and apply the findings to new work and it's called batman she lived just can't figure out for example what your target audience in mind what kind of readership a book will have at what currently there are 9 publishing houses in germany one is in the program including some of the big ones but we've signed confidentiality agreements because they don't want to be named does this kind of program doesn't make any judgment that it doesn't distinguish between good or bad literature we don't think in those categories everything has validity but for publishers and writers it's also important that it has commercial potential and we need to see if it will find readers or if we want to deliberately pitch it as
6:51 am
a nice idea and initiatives and much to. the program is put to the test with a manuscript that talk the bestseller lists. but the manuscript is uploaded once a bunch of the software reads it and analyzes it isn't going to see all. the algorithm analyzes factors such as language plot subject suspects and even emotional contact and didn't know what it was the machine was trained to recognise a positive sentence for example i was walking along the street the sun was shining and i was happy that's a positive sense of people so it was also trying to recognise a sentence expressing negative content i was absolutely miserable and everything seemed hopeless while for an orphan. it's insured to me so here are the results yes it's see and what it tells us is that this is a novel with a stick it has elements of
6:52 am
a thriller suspense crime thriller so it contains excitement of us which in many. i. was in school for. its course 81 percent that's a very good man to watch out if you like in other words readers in this market segment of crime fiction suspense novels will enjoy this book immensely but. that's ok it's kind of all of by both pos. a computer can type the whole all victorian literature and you know assimilate it in and off to new and start to see interesting new connections between those which will then help us to be guided through this you know immense library of literature that we just. hope to to navigate on our own as human.
6:53 am
