bowed to international criticism and began immunizing palestinian laborers who work in israel. 10 year kaymer filed this report. a vaccination center at an israeli tech point between the west bank town of bethlehem and loosen him here only palestinians holding a permit to work in israel or in settlements are vaccinated by israeli authorities . as a young person and a palestinian worker i can take the vaccine but at the same time i think of my father and mother who didn't get it yet i feel better when all my family members have been vaccinated. israel aims to vaccinate about a 100000 workers who cross over from the occupied west bank to israel every day the country has faced criticism abroad and at home for not providing that seems to more of the palestinian population by the us or maybe not this is because interest is

clear in order to open the economy and return to normal we need everyone who is moving around inside israeli borders to be vaccinated and safe here morgan but in the israeli occupied west bank ordinary people are still waiting for a broader vaccination rollout in the malonis it tough has only a few vials to administer to have fellow medical colleagues. the modena vaccines were part of a one time delivery by israel a small amount but still seen as a relief for those having to deal closely with patients about an action that we as doctors and nurses are on the front line and i wish that everybody will get back sedated like this so we will be protected and have to capability to move on and fight the disease had a lot of the palestinian authority says it has procured vaccines from different companies but it has come under public criticism for delays delivery in february

surprise yourself with what is possible who is magical really what moves and want. to talk to people who follow along the way my runs and critics alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaping public and joining us from eccles last stop. can artificial intelligence create art on par with monsters like rembrandt and can we even consider this genuine art in this episode we'll show you ai generated artworks and the software used to make artificial intelligence be creative our topic today unshift. artificial intelligence has become so at bound it can even be used to transform paintings into animations or sketches into photo realistic portraits but can ai
11:17 am
systems become artists and all right with genuine creativity here's about robots sophia things i am not very creative yet but i would love to be considered an artist one day an ambitious goal for a robot and maybe not all that unrealistic after all sophia's robel peer alter 3 already conducts orchestra 'd. and humanoid robot ada is turning heads in the art world. robots soon replace human artists the british team behind it wants us to think hard about these technologies ethical implications it's not going to be putting anybody out of the job because just like all the table does that come into place like the kind where they were worried if the camera was going to take hold of they didn't. has camera eyes that record her surroundings the rhythms then process this information and forward it to her robotic arm which then sketches portraits the robot combines human interaction

with machine learning the so-called human in the loop approach to make art the artwork is very creative one of the astonishing things about it is the fact that the algorithmic nature of it means that we actually don't know what the output is going to be we don't know what the dog is going to look but generally has a surprise about it which it when you see in the wood. a study by computer scientist. found that when it comes to abstract art we struggle to discern whether a piece is human or machine may go to rise musically so when folks who are prime human cannot go we're going to run by you know human. for example this is human made this piece is ai art created by ahmed el gomez creative adversarial network or i can this runs to neuronal networks a judge discriminator module that decides when the outcome is novel but still is
11:19 am
medically pleasing to us and a creator generator module that makes the piece. called this. effort a solution i personally don't think would be much he knew but so. if you think we'll go. through having the machine that's. who then should we credit for machine made artworks the ai system programmers or master painters like the caso rembrandt and van gogh whose artworks were used to train the systems and beyond authorship there's the question of money. art by the robot ada has been sold for over 1000000 euros. in 2018 and a i generated portrait of the made up gentleman edmund development sold at christie's for around 380000 euros the algorithm had been trained with portrait painting. the french collective obvious supplied
11:20 am
a fictitious develop the family tree. golden frames and signed the painting with the algorithm and received all the money. if you would like to buy a i generated arguer self the art gallery platform has plenty of moderately priced originals and algorithms supply new ai artworks every day the plan. form creators want to democratize this new art form all of this raises questions such as what makes art art how much it cost and what does it take for an artwork to move us. critics say algorithmic art is just a marketing ploy designed to make money they say creativity can only come from the human mind but others argue that ai can help us expand our imagination we asked yet for his view he has the center for humans and machines at berlin's max planck institute for human development jeff to believe it's really up to you like to
11:21 am
determine whether this is creative genius or cheating but i do think that a new kind of artist is emerging who understands this kind of a new medium and is able to wield it in creative ways one painter who does just this is roman lipski he uses an algorithmic assistant to enhance his creative output. the most it is good music is an algorithm it's a program that serves me in generating new variations on my own art. the muse helps artist develop his painting. lipski teamed up with data scientists. who wrote the program for the painter that analyzes his technique color use and composition. that suggests new pictures based on that
11:22 am
information. and data starts to. result in that liam matrix of numbers so you can think of the muse as a very clever number generator because it can determine the color values of images in such a way that something novel and exciting is created. those folks when it's all doesn't count on wars i'm for the heart of the muse is a pretty trained neural network that was originally developed to distinguish cats from dogs and recognise different objects on pictures a few years ago researchers discovered that such a pre-trained neural network can be used to extract certain features such as brightness colors shapes and even style from images. all spit on so exquisitely lipski always wanted to paint abstract pictures and it wasn't until he worked with program that he was happy with his output he says his paintings have become more colorful expressive and bold also thanks to the computer generated
11:23 am
images if you didn't have a good mood i'm in a kind of dialogue with them you in a loop and we influence each other. the digital images inspire me to evolve because it's and because i see the menus as only a tools and it will never replace me. what a cool collaboration and there are plenty more out there ai artists is an organization that brings together creative types with a lot for tech like alexander he uses highly advanced tippity 3 neural networks to generate descriptions of artworks he then creates actual art based on these the world of music also offers fantastic scope for collaboration between human and machine. the installation meandering river seen here in berlin seaters algorithm 'd generated images of rivers and ai piano music. human piano players spent hours
11:24 am
improvising to the abstract river trajectories. their music was used to train the ai system which improvises to the footage in the exhibition. christiane no search has grown accustomed to working with ai this group is. it feels as if this is another instrument in fact i'd even say it feels like there's another musician sitting beside you and you have to work with what you need to get to know this musician and figure out how to collaborate. from the. products offer similar perks c.e.o. my ackerman developed lyrics studio a piece of software that assists seasoned positions can beginners in writing song lyrics the program makes suggestions for the next lines based on a user specific style. musician have been collaborating with each other on writing songs or century that's
11:25 am
a normal way to write songs in the future to some degree already right now there are another collaborator where people are worried where people are weary if they don't want ai. but it really doesn't have. it's all about her design the system. the app makes suggestions for the musical composition one of ackerman's university colleagues used it to compose an italian opera without any prior musical training. here elisia was trained using works by the italian composer giacomo put the ai then helped write the book in the lake area set in the computer game world of warcraft if a person manages to write songs in the style of bob evolve or any other composer we would think of it as quite creative but then when a computer doesn't make sense doubt it well maybe that's not creative enough.
11:26 am
usenet is another air system it's able to generate compositions reminiscent of musical greats like chuck tom or mozart. listen to a piece of music that is accomplished by an ai since it is able to examine responses because be exactly. as not understand our emotions. even used to complete unfinished 10th symphony. fancy playing around with the basic version of news that yourself will show you how to unleash your inner composer and experiment with other fun tools as well. the open ai blog post a basic version is muse net you can select an artist like mozart and a song by adele for example and let the algorithm fuse both styles in the advanced settings you can also generate brand new songs and add additional instruments.
11:27 am
to play a piano duet with an ai we found it sounded best when. one after another. this is go get the program using a generated adversarial network it will transform your sketches and doodles into photo realistic images. while deep art will give your holiday snaps an artsy make over inspired by some of the world's most famous paintings this technology is based on a neural styled transfer algorithm. and then there's to decide which turns
11:28 am
a photo of you into a comic version of yourself. well that bus somewhat resembles me don't you think all these clever algorithms are trained using preexisting human artworks usually the data used is based on western art more diversity in these data sets with certainly boo's the creativity even further so what do you make of ai generated art think it's simply a bad imitation of human art or do you think this technology can broaden our imagination in any case i think all art lies in the eye of the beholder and that there's great potential to boost creativity with technology we even interviewed the robot 8 about this you can find the video on our you tube channel as always let us know your thoughts goodbye.
