may decide to spec'ing down in this brutal power struggle. well journalists dave is following the situation fall well i'm sure he sent us this updates. there's no question about it that this is an army at war with its own people in e.m.r. i mean there are reports credible reports of more than 90 people killed today so we could be looking at a death toll potentially of more than 4 'd 100 total since the military coup was staged on february 1st so many of these people shot in the head i mean the warning came on state media about the possibility of demonstrators being shot in the head today will they been doing that for weeks protesters have been getting shot in the head so many an armed civilians dead at the hands of the country's security forces this is part of the military plan to just terrorize the civilian population just like me are who does and past have done well this noon to is doing the same thing not only with

a number of people that they're killing on the streets in their homes but they're just terrorizing them with nighttime raids i mean i've spoken to people in the amur this week who tell me they are terrified every time they hear a knock on the door and sometimes it's not a knock on the door sometimes it's a door being kicked down and security forces rate you see people who are in custody the security forces wounded people without weapons clearly in custody no way to fight back and yet they get beaten by the security forces sometimes people get taken away by the security forces and they turn up dead the next day it is just terrorizing the civilian population the generals of the am are out for the reason and to protect the fortune that they've amassed over decades through this country's natural resources to the businesses they control so many of the people in the population live in poverty these generals are millionaires and they're trying to protect their regime. well now the operators of egypt's ways canel say technical or human error could have caused a huge container ship to run aground and janessa working around the clock to

refloat the ever growing the vessel has been blocking one of the world's busiest shipping lanes for the last 5 days it's having on the canal authority hopes a dredging operation will fray the ship in the next few days. of monistat speak to bill cavanagh who has basically currently in cork island he is a ship captain also no suspense cal fire while having pastorate a number of times well earlier so we knew that strong winds were being blamed for this ship blocking the canal now the swiss authorities chairman is talking about technical or human error what are the implications of this well 1st of all it's going to take a long time to investigate this incident and it's not possible right now to define exactly what the problem is in all these critical incident cases in safety critical industries it takes a long time to conduct an inquiry and it is really very rarely one single reason

why an incident occurs it is usually a number of incidents that occur in what we call alert chain and eventually those incidents lead up to those or is lead to an incident so it's very difficult at the moment to protect or to analyze exactly what happened we do know some information we know that there are wind was strong and we know that the vessel was steering somewhat erratic late prior to the incident. to get the voice data recorder and analyzed a technical problem there is a local cost to defend. the reason for the incident so catherine kavanah could you just explain the technicals around this how difficult is it to navigate through the canal. for most festivus is not so difficult because it's pretty straightforward as it's less than 200 kilometers in length it's pretty straight the routes are very

straight north so it's almost and then he ships travelling convoys what i would like to emphasise wherever is that in recent years ships have got very large very big these are making ships that carry 20000 containers and i believe that the technology to support these ships has not caught up with them therefore talks tend to be the same talk as they use in previous years procedures tend to be the older procedures i believe in you need new precautions and new procedures to get these ships troops safely motions to get through safely but they're not as big as the ships and i think there's been about 75 incidents in the last decade which is quite old but nevertheless ships do go aground conventional ships however make your ships need additional precautions because the risk and just very quickly what would you say would be to give us an idea but point in terms of preventative measures that could be done to try and you know professor choice like that's happening again i

think to have to conduct a risk analysis regarding maker ships compared to traditional sized vessels and woman means would be to have talks. to the ships at all times throughout the passage so there would have been bounced around on tension so if there's any deviation from the expected course talks could at least 60 kingdom on course captain bill kavanagh thank you very much indeed for joining us here on the governing yes thank you well 2nd look at other stories making headlines around the world. security forces in mozambique saying the armed group have seized the northern town of palma it's close to a number of major international gas projects fighting has been going on in the area for days forcing hundreds to flee. another deadly incident in egypt case 8 people have been killed and more than 20 others were injured when

a building collapsed in cairo rescue workers are searching for survivors trapped under the rubble. and police and voters have detained dozens of protesters and several journalists the opposition are calling for more anti-government rallies the protests began when president alexander lukashenko claimed victory in a disputed election last demonstrations died down over the winter. now at least 19 people have been killed in a collision between 2 passenger trains in egypt where seekers have cleared the wreckage from the lie at the course of the crash is still not clear president of the fight al sisi has ordered an investigation. twisted steel and mangled carriages grim proof of the deadly impact of 2 trains colliding in egypt province. locals and rescue teams worked into the night pulling injured

passengers from the wreckage and recovering the bodies of those who died. i thought that the train collided with a car or took took and after leaving the house i found the 2 trains hitting each other i went running wearing my home clothes and we found people lying on the ground women and children and we removed the deceased people and took the injured to the ambulances. lawn and we're a long arm of the problem. so. i put some wooden planks so the ambulances would be able to cross the canal it was a mass many people were stuck inside the train with no one to carry them out. or 30 say the accident happened after someone pulled the emergency brakes on one of the trains causing the 2 trains to collide at least 2 carriages were overturned.

agent has been marred by train accidents in recent years its paws safety record is blamed on a crumbling infrastructure and insufficient maintenance. this is unlikely to be the last tragedy to unfold on egypt's railroads. well let's take a look at some covered 19 updates the philippines opposing a strict new dr out in the capital manila and nights curfew will apply from 6 p. m. . indonesia is expecting a slowdown in occupations next month as india delays shipments of astra zeneca vaccines and germany hopes to receive its 1st delivery of johnson and johnson's single dose covered $1000.00 vaccine next month. now here's one for the single people out there lucked out has been rough on many lives for many as you know because of restaurants remain closed and even office romances are currently

'd and what numbers and women especially of victims of violence. take part and send us your story we are trying in all with to understand this new culture. another very little or nothing yes you want to become a citizen. in so migrants your platform for reliable information. a black and a white hand each holding the same device for facial and image recognition software these photos may be interpreted quite differently just how race is ai autopsy today on ship. one of the key elements of artificial intelligence is that it teaches itself but to

learn ai needs to be fed with massive amounts of data and that data is collected by humans and that's. the way i operate and the conclusions it draws dependent on the data sets it has to work with here's an example of how things can go wrong those 2 nearly identical images were presented to google's cloud vision image recognition software the shocking results the temperature got and the white hand was identified as a monocular a bit strange perhaps but an understandable mistake you might say the same object held in the doc's going to hand was identified as a handgun has since apologized and has removed the label gun from its system but is that really enough to counter graces assumptions made by its algorithm black people and people of color in particular often suffer from discrimination by ai systems as the new american documentary coded body is revealed during my 1st semester at mit i

got computer vision software that was supposed to track. didn't work until i put on this white mask i'm thinking all right what's going on here is that the lighting conditions is that the angle at which i'm looking at the camera or is there something more in 20. was one of the 1st computer scientists true. or resist the documentary staring to buy she. tells her story. the sim explains why systems are racist many of the algorithms used in the software are developed and tested by teams that consist mainly of white men. their view of the world is reproduced in the software and they're less likely to notice what is discriminatory and biased. systems are said dunces it's made up mostly of like people as a result the technology ends up less accurate when it comes to people of color.

you mean that the most diverse the data that spread into these ai system has the better. it can identify a variety of people and i mentioned i can but the bias goes even deeper and begins even before the does as it says are created. this thing mid-air hardware on. poorly it starts with the hardware which was originally designed for use of cameras in movies so it was designed with white men and minds and so on the light senses the way the devices are calibrated infrared technology developed in recent decades they were all designed with white skin in mind and with how light reflects on white skin hold on they ignore the fact that people have many different skin colors which also reflects light differently the least and that's a 50 and that's why tweaking the algorithms isn't enough a more fundamental change is needed. to loosen dimension the make decent people

using these technologies are key here in other words all of us at the end of the day what's being programmed is not the only factor i mean what also matters is how we interact with the technology and what data we feed into it that's what we're missing of we're missing that fundamental debate about social inclusion and exclusion about discrimination and how biased permeates our society with our devoted humans here in this community. joy. is i'm also continuing her fight i mean her findings public even appearing before the u.s. congress. she's also the founder of the organ rhythmic justice league which is working to create less biased a more equitable artificial intelligence when it comes to equality we still have a long way to go especially when algorithms on both algorithms also use the online search engines the most obvious example is google image search helps us navigate

the world if you're looking for information on something or want to see what someone looks like you'll probably see. but a recent experiment conducted by g.w. shows the rhythms often lead to skewed results searching for women of specific nationalities online is a harsh lesson in stereotypes searching for brazilian women yields young women in suggestive poses but german women brings up many politicians and athletes the church of el analysis team used google's very own cloud vision safes to analyze thousands of images this image processing software was designed to spot sexualized content google uses it to flag suggestive images. of the woman from dominican republic brazil and up to 40 percent of sexually suggestive american women it's just 5 percent and for german women 4 percent. this has

a major impact on how women are seen and treated and women from certain countries are especially vulnerable such for ukrainian women for example and 61 of the top 100 results are links to dating sites websites with sexualized content. algorithms are key to our data driven and automated world the images they deliver can be shockingly biased racist and sexist but for data scientist catherine it's not really the algorithms that are to blame algorithm learns because we train it using machine learning so either whether it's deep learning with a neural network so to speak or it's shallow machine learning where feeding it data and were asking it to form an opinion and of course when that opinion is based on data that has unfair treatment of groups then the algorithm or very much learned

this in china is being used to identify specific ethnic groups take the telecom giant while away which took part in testing and. we go software that could identify faces of the countries we go minority that's according to i p v m a u.s. based company specializing in video surveillance software as accuracy rate is estimated at about 70 percent is reportedly being used across china so is ethnic discrimination being automated. this camera system tested by wa way is designed to use ai to identify people of specific ethnic cities it was trained on data sets that we teach a child dental find age and gender and ethnicity. in the system was trained on data sets containing people from china as we go minority and non weakness to teach it to use facial features to determine if this is what's even more disturbing is help china plans to use it when the ai system blank someone is a member of the week

a minority it can trigger a week alone and notify the police. in the shin jiang region of northwestern china security forces have implemented a massive surveillance network designed to clamp down on the we can minority hundreds of thousands of readers have been detained in so-called reeducation camps . officially chinese companies have denied that their testing software is being used for commercial purposes but internet giant has already admitted that its cloud division has developed discriminatory ai software and even greater concern is the fact that it's cost them a step by step instructions for how to use the software to target we've got muslims paired with mobile phones and surveillance cameras the software enables users in china to send images of people to its cloud service to flag them as suspicious we guess in other words users as opposed to keep feeding the facial recognition ai

with data that enhances racial targeting that's truly scary tools like the show that. can be used to target ethnic groups says karen young an expert in artificial intelligence and human rights very powerful systems increasingly being used to sort organize people people at population level and even though we don't see that kind of drastic action being taken in western industrialized societies there are an increasing number of social. scoring people particularly in the criminal justice system to make predictions based on algorithmic assessment of the kinds of risks that they do to public safety in the u.s. african-americans and asian americans where up to 100 times more likely to be identified by facial recognition systems than white that's according to a study commissioned by the us government falls maps can lead to all sorts of problems like

a mistake in the rest but these systems are growing increasingly popular and not just in the u.s. that could have a serious impact on society says karisma billie's from the institute for ethics at oxford university a i can be extremely disruptive in a negative way to society it can be racist it can be extremely unfair to take one example in 2016 microsoft launched its teaching designed to reply to twitter users in less than a single day of exposure. had to be taken off. twitter had taught it to parrot sexist racist anti-semitic and a sense of. why there's such bias in every poorly i systems society. based artists and researchers. are exploring that question. the data sets being fed into these ai

systems are always old so the systems and up conservatives and outdated. used to predict. what to expect in the future. expect to be. different. persons can be very. anyone they deem to be. gender friends. and you may never realize. because. it's truly a massive problem an easy way to visualize how ai works is to imagine you're baking a cake if you use the wrong greedy and the cake just won't taste good similarly if

the data used to train ai software is poor and not representative of the diversity found in society then it won't work properly except that here we're not talking about a cake but more dramatic consequences and by now this poses a greater threat to certain people like people of color it's not the technology that is to blame i don't think that we should be looking to the world this is something for my opinion we need to raise awareness for how ai systems can have a racist and discriminatory impact so before we adopt the more widely they need to be rigorously tested according to ethical criteria what about you have you ever been negatively affected by the systems or do you believe that you are not really affected by them but it's not on you tube facebook dot com. take care and you next time.

come from nigeria to save the world the comic republic. of korea i'm curious. to know the why the superhero comic can't even feel the power of super villains everywhere and better watch out than the 7 percent. may skew younger. researchers have discovered. young stimulates the growth of brain cells. this is the key to a tan on you. or something else still needed.

tomorrow today. in 60 minutes on d w. we've got some tips for your bucket list. and some great culture memorials to boot. the fact. that. so of our ways so far this is what i would look like and my name would be. with clearly have something special for brad for you on the show but i'm not going to give away too much yet i mean my good genia and your welcome for the 77 percent . i was usual so they show
