i'm in your northern most count please. ah, 3 times one. but still very much alive. d w channel, you'll go to the special with recognizes where exactly it was fun. yeah. i learned a lot. our culture history. all their d. w, travel extremely worth a visit with. oh, i'm stephen beardsley in berlin. here's a look at our top stories. a group of experts, warrens about 8 dangerous race for a i, technology, and calls for a 6 month pause for governments to consider a new regulation. the former c e o of star box appears before congress to defend

his company's pushback against union efforts, saying the company hasn't broken any loss. also in our show will visit a russian programmer now resettling in georgia of an exodus of talent following the war crane. welcome to our show, a group of computer scientists and tech industry executives including ellen musk is calling for a 6 month ban on the development of new ai systems more powerful than the latest version of g p t. the model behind the popular chat, g p, t, in an open letter, the future of life institute says work should be halted until developers are certain that the effects of new a i models will be quote, positive and their risks manageable. the industry insiders warned that the advent of power for a i will fundamentally change how humanity communicates, works and learns. they argue that a regulatory framework needs to be in place before tech companies. proceed with future research. markers crutches,

a computer science professor at the technical university of dresden. and he also signed that appeal markers. welcome to the show. why did you choose to sign this letter? yes. hello. and for many reasons, i think actually it's, it's not at all about stopping i, i means as obviously no stopping of it right now. but it is a technology that has a tremendous potential of both to do good and also to do hong and especially the 2nd part of this is really not understood very well at the moment. we are overwhelmed by the abilities of this technology, and it seems that at birth, both research and also politics and society as a whole is lagging behind this foss development. so the letter is all about and giving a pulse to this very fast current developments that we are witnessing and, and doing things that we have already successfully done for other technologies, like genetic engineering or atomic energy where we needed some,

some ability to look into the effects and to think about how we are going to use this as a society to be useful like, what are critic said that the letter might be alarm us and then admit it misses a larger point. that the systems like chat, g, b, t, r, or mere engineering achievements that are still far from being dangerous. and they can actually benefit workers and society. what do you say to that? well, i mean, one has to read things carefully, obviously. and of course in the media and in societies as always, menu boy is and some will be alarmed, of course, also by a letter. but in general, this is not at all about a warning of a dangerous or maybe even sentiment, self aware i or these kind of science fiction stories. it's merely warning about a new technology which, which will definitely have a tremendous impact on how we live, how we work. and as it was that how we communicate. i mean, one of the strongest point of this engineering effort at the moment is not so much

to solve problems. we know it can do that, but sometimes it fails also, but it is very good at pretending to solve the problem. it gives us the impression of real intelligence, and this is something we have to get used to. we have humans and this will just take away. so what more transparency in these models help of that is to see a little bit more behind the veil and potentially help distribute the benefits beyond just a few large companies that are reaping the benefits of these models? to some extent, yes, but it is certainly not the only measure that needs to be taking at the moment what we need to really as a more trustworthy, more reliable a i where we can really truly understand what is going on behind the scenes and this thoughts by, of course, trying to understand what these models are doing in on their own, by themselves as they are currently trained. but this will not be enough. we need additional safeguards, additional measures on top and before and after these models come into play in

order to really create systems that can be relied on and, and a lot of research as needed there. and a lot of academic work still needed there before we can really push this into society and use it in a beneficial way. all right, us marcus, coach a t you interest and he's on that open letter warning about a i and the dangerous race to develop it. thank you very much. thank you. over to the u. s. now in a much anticipated congressional showdown longtime starbucks, c. e. o, howard schultz, defending his company's aggressive stance against union efforts in an appearance before a u. s. and a committee sholtes who's now the outgoing interim c. e o set his company had a right to push back against the efforts, and that it hadn't broken labor laws or punished employees. an administrative judge ruled against the company earlier this month, saying it intimidated workers and fired organizers. starbucks is appealing that decision, some 300 of starbucks, more than 15000 stores in the u. s. have voted to unionize. chair of the labor

committee congressman bernie sanders made the opening argument. and judges have found that starbucks broke the law, all $130.00 times across 6 states, since workers began organizing in the fall of 2021. i do take offense, i have to admit because it's quite personal. when you bring up things that you've heard that are not true, we have never ever taken any benefit away. and we, we never would. of anyone who was interested in joining a union. let's go and stuff on siemens in our washington bureau. stephan, how did this labor dispute turn into a, an issue for congress? ah, well, i tell you something. there were 2 really, those 2 people, howard shoals, billionaire and c o 3 time c of starbucks. and bernie sanders, those 2 couldn't be any more different encountering themselves. so now bert, now mr. show problem solving

a senate hearing because bernie sanders threatened him with a subpoena that they didn't want. and this was packed not for free coffee. there were a lot of people in this hearing, and they, and that's what the sound by we just ran didn't show. she broke out in laughter after mister shawl said that the company never broke broke a law and never punished anybody who was involved in or taking part in unionizing or organizing. so how did this end there? because the national labor board has filed so many complaints more than against any other company in the united states, against starbucks for doing exactly what sanders said, they're breaking the law as a federal judge also concluded hundreds of times all across, over the nation. so on this, this fight is already ca, starbucks, a tremendous amount of money. do we have any idea where it's going from here? well, if starbucks doesn't change, of course, then it will cost them even more money. that's is clear, but you know, starts as

a new c, e o. so let's see where this gentleman will direct the company one to will he adopt the well say reputation or the bravado offer mr. shawl, see your howard charles former, see your fortune, or who was known and reputed as a like, union buster all will starbucks go a different way? we'll have to see and find out where this is going, but it will be costly, one way or another, right? of stuff on siemens in washington. thank you very much. hundreds of thousands of people have left russia since the beginning of the war in ukraine. one destination is georgia by russians can live and work without too much complication. tens of thousands are staying in the black sea city of but to me. but to me, george m a place of refuge for thousands of russians. one of them is

maria, a nice t specialist from st. petersburg. she and many other refugees say they are against putin and the russian war and ukraine. she supports russian opposition, politicians, alexander and a volley. but after his poisoning and imprisonment, she sees no future in russia and putting a little possible to hold demonstrations in georgia in russia, they would immediately throw you in prison. but i presented georgia is her temporary adopted country. getting in was easy. russian citizens do not need a visa. maria runs an apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom for about $500.00 euros a month. her dog betty arrive during her 1st few days and but to me. in st. petersburg, she was well paid, working as a programmer for an american company. now she works for a client based in israel. georgia makes it simple for refugees to gain a foothold. residence and work permits are issued within

a few days. router yarbrough, i re registered as a sole proprietor yet could or it's very easy. it takes a day or 2 before taxation for small businesses, also very low, only on one per cent of income, but that subordinates a unique situation and very attractive for i t specialists department. it's also the reason why many programmers come here. there are tens of thousands of us in quite an under substitution where it evens low that maria would rather move to a european country than stay in georgia permanently. but the bureaucracy is complicated. the e was not easy to enter, especially since her russian passport is about to expire. long odds have been with me a little bit of your her. we both want to go to spain or port well now, but i have to wait until i get a new passport, passport above. since the warn ukraine, it has been very difficult to get a new russian passport quickly from here. it takes at least 6 months,

so selective. so that was the auto and international for possible virtual quote. of course, many of russia's young talent are fleeing to other places and turning their backs on putin is reminder of our top business doors. a group of computer scientists and tech industry executives including you on mosque is calling for a 6 month ban on development of new a. i systems more powerful than the latest version of g p t. that's the model behind the popular chat g p t. in an open letter, the future of life institute says, work should be halt. mental developers are certain that the effects of new a are models will be quote, positive, and the risks management long time starbucks, c, e o. howard sholtes defended his company's aggressive stance against union efforts in appearance before a u. s. senate committee sholtes at his company had a right to push back against the efforts that it had not broken labor laws were punished. employees involved in those efforts. some 300 of starbucks more than

15000 stores in the us have so far voted to unionize. all right, that's our show. you can find out more about these and other business stories online. check us out at d, w dot com slash business. we're also on youtube or the deed of news channel. you can find us on facebook as well. for me in the business team here, berlin likes watching one tragedy to many vincenzo luciano had been a fisherman in cro. tony italy for 40 years. he was one of the 1st on the beach when more than 80 people had drown. since then,
