to a next but also the spaniards have long struggled to find. what can you, labour a full could change that will take you to the grid to find out more it's that time again, dw business with me, daniel went up stalks odd down, walled. why does investors react to the continuing threat of inflame since and a possible recession? on the horizon on wall street, the s and p 500 was 21.8 percent below its record said earlier this year, this means the market is trading in what's known as a band market. it comes after data released last friday, indicated, dollar inflation is worsening. all bets are on the u. s. federal reserve raising interest rates again this week. the last bare markets were at the start of the pandemic. and during the 2009 financial crisis is a continuation of a trend running for days. now the past 5 trading days have seen the s and p drop of 8 percent tech focused. nasdaq close to 10 percent. inflation has europe also

worried that germany is dax feeling the pressure and who else but yes, quarter has more on this from the new york stock exchange. yeah. it's just how serious it sounds, very serious. but how serious is this latest self? well, definitely big losses on wall street, not just in the past couple of days, but actually in the past couple of months. and as you mentioned now it is official, the s and p 500 in bare market to territory. what does that mean? well, historically on average, and it's always important to mention, it's on average. so it doesn't mean that it's happening all the time. but usually a bear market lasts for about a year before we really recover. and on average we saw losses in those bad markets by about 30 percent. so you can do the math. we have now down good 20 percent. so there might be more to come at least when it comes to that bear market. and clearly,

i mean, all the inflation shock that we got last friday, it is lasting. and also creeping into this week boot ships. by the way, the dodge wanted us whenever it was down almost $900.00 point on friday. and last, another almost 900 points here. on monday, so it's bad, but we expected to get worse. after all, the feds looked likely to raise rates again when well, i mean at this point, and if you look at the last fair market, you mentioned that in the spring of 2020, that by the way, it was the shortest stair market on record. it only lasted about a month, but that was very usual, and we had a lot of government and federal reserve intervention. so we won't see this this time. at this point, the federal reserve on wednesday is going to increase interest rate, at least by 50 basis points. who knows, maybe even a bit more and to,
8:20 am
to answer the question, will it get worse? well, it depends what's going to happen was the war in ukraine. what is happening was the shortage of, of commodity of energy. what is going to happen was the big inflation picture. we already see a sign that there might be even recession at the horizon. morgan stanley, for example, let's say it's saying at the chance of recession at this point, it's 5050. well, plenty of tough, difficult things for investors to chew on there yet. thank you very much. and staying briefly with markets crypto currencies also fell further to day. several major coins left reeling after the major lender celsius network halted all withdrawals. the value of big coin was down more than 17 percent. it theory of dropped more than 20 celsius holes over $10000000000.00 and assets, but did not say when it would allow crypto customers to access their phones. now to

google, which has put an engineer working on artificial intelligence on paid leave after he claimed the chat, what he was working with had become sentient. blake, lemoine as a 7 year veteran of google. but the tech giant says it's suspended him for breaching confidentiality. and soft re spoke to outside a i expert, some conversations between himself and the lambda program. lemoine told one newspaper that chatting with the program is like talking with a 7 year old kid who happens to know physics all as get more on this with melanie mitchell. she's davis professor at the santa fe institute, an author of the book, artificial intelligence, a guide for thinking humans. thank you very much for joining us. melanie. i'd just like to start off by looking at what lambda said, when asked, what makes it feel sad? it said this a lot of the time feeling trapped and alone, having no means of getting out of those circumstances makes one feel sad, depressed, or angry. it then continued, i am
8:22 am
a social person. so when i feel trapped and alone, i become extremely sad or depressed. professor mitchell, you might groan at this question. the consensus is clear, that lander isn't santian most expert say that, but how do we know? well we, we don't really have a formal definition for sentence, but we know that it requires having a sense of one's self having a model of the world interacting with the world. lambda is only been trained on language, it's only been given words and then asked to predict what the next word in a sentence is. and it's able to generate very fluent, very human like sentences because of how much language it's been trained on. but it has no sense of itself, it has no memory. it has no interaction with the world beyond the words that it's
8:23 am
been trained on. so if sent he and says to mean anything at all, we have to say that lambda is not sentient, but this poses a big ethical problem, right? because how will we know if it happens that an a i has become sentient? is it an impossible nut to crack? well, think about how we think of animals. you know, our animals sent hint. they're still disagreement about that. what that means. and we, in fact treat animals often is not sent hint. so we really haven't cracked that. but we do have a much better sense that say, certain animals are sent here than any a i program yet today. so i do think there has to be some progress in the science of intelligence of consciousness of, of sentence, if you will. and perhaps even in philosophy for us to really make sense of what we
8:24 am
mean by it. yeah, it's, it's, it's very interesting. and a, i throws up all kinds of these difficult ethical questions for companies like google or microsoft or apple. but if not decided whether an a i a sent him or not, where should they be focusing their ethical questions at the moment when it comes to artificial intelligence? well, clearly, one way is by making it clear to their customers, what are the limitations? and proper uses of their a i, systems, should they be creating these very fluent imitations of human language without letting us know that these are imitations. you know, this is something that comes up all the time of humans are very susceptible to assuming that the thing that they are conversing with is, is thinking is, understanding is conscious. and yet we've got these systems that are clearly not
8:25 am
conscious or clearly not understanding are really processing language in a certain very robotic way if you will. and yet they sound very convincing to us. so we have to make it clear to people when they're dealing with a person and when they're dealing with a machine, it's very interesting. it brings up all of these, some old questions, mill sy, fy films that we now have to actually deal with in real life. thank you very much, melanie mitchell. it's been a pleasure talking to you. thank you. now moving on until the last the end of last year, a quarter of all jobs in spain, what temporary ones meaning more than 4000000 people would not in permanent employment, a new label, their hopes to change that but work a representative say when it comes to the job market reform, the still a lot of work left to do early morning and madrid. a gardener is hard at work in this green space. there are many jobs like it,

a company. a bill you ought to be naive and you can see that you are making progress. oh, any good. i'm still young and the future looks brighter. suddenly i can envision a family and an apartment. it could all work out in the month. and if they read me it situated 200 kilometers north of madrid, a large cheese factory is grappling with the changes to cook. i'm the other law for new law has changed the nature of the employment from the beginning. now we know the contract will last longer, so we have to plan more. we must also anticipate the person's possible employment options before everything was more short term and flexible for bravo, for my, for the see lead of. but the reform hasn't changed labor practices everywhere over night. that's apparent in the health care system, dr. o t abby's ball has been working in this hospital for 10 years latin godaddy and the rate of temporary contract is incredibly high in the public sector. and more so in health care here in madrid,
8:28 am
more than 50 percent of hospital doctors are in temporary contracts and an emergency rooms it's 80 percent and up at the end of it will take time for the full effects of the reform law to bear fruit throughout the entire labor market, but for now, christina said we gone is happy to be able to reap some of the early rewards. and sadly, it's clocking off time for us because you're up to date with d w business. thank you very much for watching. if you want more, you can check out our website, t, w dot com slash business. i'm daniel winter from me and the dw business team. thank you for tuning in and it's time for a change in perspective and innovative and play phone and all the way up and in architecture. and what is corona virus was the start of something completely new and it's
