ah, in the past 6 months chat, g, p r has become the fastest growing ap in history. he uses artificial intelligence to answer questions about anything just like humans but much faster. and just like humans, it can make mistakes be biased and beat, manipulate it this week jeffrey hinton, who was known as the godfather of a. i said that he's quit his job at google in order to freely speak his mind about the dangers of artificial intelligence. tonight, a warning to you, humanity, to slow down our rush to deploy a i could become a sprint to disaster. i've forgotten berlin. this is the day, ah, that comes to the conclusion that the kind of intelligence we're developing is very
12:03 am
different from the intelligence we have. a, i can help you with some very difficult challenges like disease and climate change . this is another particular thing i want to talk about, which is the existential risk to what happens when these things get more intelligent enough. as the potential of civilizational instruction, the issue is now that we've discovered it works better than we expected a few years ago. tom, what do we do to mitigate the long term risk? also coming up russia's fake news campaign over its war on ukraine. just how effective is moscow's troll factor, a friend russian side. the information competing targeted against ukraine has not been as successful in the west. however, russia has shifted its focus away from, from the west to a certain degree, to target to african countries to target latin american countries to target
12:04 am
countries in asia. ah, or job viewers watching a p, p, the united states. and to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin the day with the dangers of artificial intelligence. we may not see until it's too late. 2023 is becoming the year a chat g p t. it's popularity has helped thrust artificial intelligence into the public. i like never before. we're now talking about a i the pros and cons like, never before, but do we even see what we think we are looking at? the advances in a i are now exponential so fast that some a i, experts now predict artificial intelligence will become more intelligent than humans. by the end of this decade, a growing chorus of tech thinkers or warning we are not prepared. and that includes jeffrey hinton, a leading machine learning pioneer. he's known as the godfather of a i. he says it's time to put the brakes on a i while we still can't we scientists,
12:05 am
right? we're exploring what happens when you train lodge neural nets and computers. and that's just reality that we ended up here. um, it's one of those things where there's no way that people want going to explore it . um, the issue is now that we've discovered it works faster than we expected a few years ago. um, what do we do to mitigate the long term risks of um, it things more intelligent than us taking control of the question there. when i bring you now, lindsey gorman, she's a senior fellow for emerging technologies at the alliance for securing democracy in washington. d. c. lynch, it's good to see you again of jeffrey hinton. he wants us to slow down. he has joined a growing course of ai experts. we're calling for a moratorium on a i development and deployment. where do you stand on this?
12:06 am
well, i think, i think that he speaks to a very real concern that a i, systems are progressing rapidly more quickly than anyone really expected a couple years ago. the idea that we could train large language models such as chopping g p t and have it display what we think of as intelligent asks and capability is not something we really saw. and i think that's cause a little bit of a panic um too. and in the community to say, you know, how revolving this technology, where's it going? can we get ahead of humans? i don't think we're there yet. certainly there are, these are capabilities that looked like intelligence. i'm and maybe moving in that direction of course, but i don't think we're necessarily at the point where a i is taking over humans. but there are some real concerns with how these systems are going to be used and how they are, are already being used when it comes to the information environment when it comes from, from job displacement. and when it comes to extending wage inequality,
12:07 am
you know, check g, p g of italy. as soon as chuck g b t really exploded italy, put a ban on the chair bought, which was been later lifted. is that the right approach on when we're talking about maybe trying to get a better handle on managing ai? well, i think you have to hand it to italy in that it very aggressively deployed its existing legal architectures to this new technology. and specifically, it applies the general data protection framework, g p r, the use of landmark data privacy and data protection legislation to say that jack chat g p t hadn't actually justified and need and really demonstrated the need to scrape all the data that was used to train the model on the internet, including including in italy. and that was really the reason for and the legal basis for that block to provide that justification for wireless creepiness,
12:08 am
this data to develop the system at without, without justifying the need. but i think it does really speak to this question of how much do we, are we able to apply the existing legal framework such as the g, p r, as in the case of italy? and how much do we really need to develop new regulatory frameworks to address these new applications and new use as a new risks with these large language models? and i think the answer is a little bit of both. and of course, when we talk about regulation, we're not talking about something that's going to happen over night. in the mean time, we're going to have a big election in the united states. i'm thinking about the 2024 presidential election. i'm wondering what will a, i mean for that now last week you re tweeted a post with a video of that is a 100 percent generated by a i is a video by the republican national committee against president by you. it's a 32nd clip and see right here that shows on china attacking taiwan,
12:09 am
the u. s. banking system collapsing, and it shows the u. s. border with mexico being over one by migrants of the video. it looks real crisis and you say that this is a big is coming off the travel y. well, researchers are organization and many others for years have been warning and raising the alarm about the specter and deep fakes. and the possibility that political actors, or even foreign actors looking to interfere and democratic elections, could use these completely fake images, video, or even text now are saying to manipulate voters in to certain preferences and into certain candidates and in certain world views. and this is about the general information environment, whether that's chinese propaganda or russian dis information. but it also comes to a flash point when we're talking about elections. and i think 2024 may be the 1st
12:10 am
election where deep fakes and where a i generated images and video play a much more significant role than they have in the past. has always been this kind of alarmist. worry that something is going to flip the mind of a voter may be on the eve of the election, and we don't have time to prove that its act fate. and we, it's just become so much easier to create these videos. and so they really need to be labeled as such so that we can tell what's real and what's not a, you know, us intelligence tells us that russia amused social media to maebelle in the 2016 in 2020 elections. it's 2023. there's still no regulation of social media. can washington d. o with artificial intelligence? well, that is really the $1000000.00 question. i think there is no reason to suspect that our foreign adversaries are going to set this election out as they haven't from the
12:11 am
previous previous elections. and whether they'll be able to manipulate a i or, or maybe they don't even need to, i think is the question. now there have been some efforts to on, on, on behalf of the social media platforms to prohibit the use of manipulated content and manipulated videos. right. on the eve, maybe the 2 weeks leading up to an election. i think we're very likely to see similar policies put in place in 2024 if we don't get broader regulation. and i think those policies really should include the requirements to label, manipulated, and, and deep faked and ai generated images and video. because now anyone can make these images with mid journey with duct lee. and it's not something that only computer science labs are able generate those a good boy. maybe they should insist on putting watermarks on these videos. i want to ask you about what we're seeing here in the european union. it, we know it's led the way with legislation to protect our data privacy on the internet. now the, you was drawing up legislation that would make
12:12 am
a i companies disclose any copyrighted material that's used to train their chat box . for example. um, is this in your opinion and it would this be a way to control a i i don't know if it's a way to control a i a so much as a way to preserve intellectual property because there's a real concern of if an a i system is developed using to refer to prior terry information whether that and the corporate side, or in the artistic side who really owns the, the results of that if an ai generates new poetry and new art. but it's actually working by spoofing and copying and kind of predicting what a famous poet or a famous, famous artist would be writing or creating or drawing. then really gets to the question of ownership, who has created this. i'm and so i think this effort by the you is a really strong attempt to get at this question of copyright infringement. and as i
12:13 am
said earlier, apply some of kind of the existing frameworks that we have run copywriter on data to this new a i era. so i don't know if i see it as a, as a way to control a i think the broader regulation when we think about and, and the u as doing this as well on kind of a risk based framework for a i harms that's going to be that's going to take a little bit more time, but it absolutely makes sense to apply kind of the existing tools that we have to make sure that there isn't an intellectual property in artistic and creative infringement and on, on, on ownership as the system develop. and they become more popular. lindsey gorman is always wins. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thanks. ah, turkey is holding elections this month. and the polls suggest that president richard, pioneer to juan, is more vulnerable than ever after being in power for more than 20 years. he's
12:14 am
being blame now for the countries chronic inflation standing at 50 percent. and for his government slow response to february's devastating earthquakes, more than 50000 people were killed hundreds of thousands of buildings, the lamps over seriously damaged millions were left homeless. a d amman is an older one electoral stronghold and one of the cities worst hit by the disaster. he w correspondent, julia han reports from bear to night. the cemetery and our dear man is getting bigger every day. more than 7000 new graves have been added here since february's earthquakes. many are temporary. without head stones, memories salvaged from the rubble with a bridal veil. a saca josie
12:15 am
saved up allah john comes here almost every day. she lost a large part of her family in the quakes. sure, this is my niece's grave. she was 9 months old will bull here and my father and my mother here is one of my brothers with his children and his wife. took the suit. sometimes i wish i had died too, while my it's hard to go on living like this woman will come, survived, and yet torn from life. this is how so many field here an idea among eileen da, david and mourns the loss of her parents and brother. she wasn't an audio man. the day the quakes struck. got you come on. when she came back among the family home was gone. large part of the city had collapsed,
12:16 am
rescue teams arrived late. people felt abandoned. eileen is still angry about the government's crisis management belts. aaliyah o young, no one admits mistake. exhibit no one steps down. no one takes responsibility enamels, either. if the buildings had been built earthquake proof. if the authorities had checked regularly and surely fewer people would have died, the evidence exam will become that in some only the many in turkey have criticized president regis tie of adams slow response to the disaster. they also accuse him and his government of not having done enough to prevent unsafe and corrupt building practices. the president who's fighting for 3rd term in office has admitted that there was some shortcomings. and promised a reconstruction project of historic proportions college recalls that any shows
12:17 am
were starting the construction of permanent isaac watch, which is the most important need at a pace that is hard to believe that her were determined to deliver 319000 houses with their infrastructure, public buildings, social facilities, and commercial areas within one year, with his main rival in the upcoming elections as came out college old, who has a good chance of al sting out one poll suggest he claims the presidents. reconstruction plans will cause ceo's wake williams too much money that are living with them. they have that vehicle on between. but on the said, we'll rebuild these houses quickly and it will cost you nothing that he up. why does the current government want to charge you money? this may be a quote, but if homes collapse because they're not earthquake proof good ebony and the government is responsible for them of not the citizens. he got it, but under said, the law weeks have passed since the earthquakes. and yet the destruction here is
12:18 am
still overwhelming. and the survivors, grief and trauma, heart wrenching, whoever wins the upcoming elections, will face a seemingly impossible task to bring back hope. when now there is only despair at the cemetery and the odd yeoman. the discussion about the upcoming elections seems far away. saved our la john hopes that she in the small family she has left will have a future that they will get the real help they need and not just empty promises during an election campaign were joining me now. is osler, idaho tosh botch? she is a visiting fellow at brookings at a washington based public policy. think tank. it's good to have you on the program . let me start by getting your opinion on president air to once a botched earthquake response. is that response?
12:19 am
is it going to be the deciding factor in the selection? good to be here and well, i think your reporter touched upon one of the key issues in the selection, the slow response to earthquake. but voters are also reacting to turkey's terrible economic situation. sometime last year we turkey had triple digit inflation. food prices are officially inflation around 50 percent, but unofficially, you know, by independent watchdogs, it's measured in triple digits. so i and then you how you also have the fact that everyone has been in power for 20 years can no longer connect with younger people. he's offering a particular vision for turkey. make turkey great again, very much focused on turkey's home growing defense industry tanks to new aircraft carrier, you know, military might. but then again, you also have
12:20 am
a segment of the population that is seeing a disconnect between what president are dawn is offering in the news. a new imperial vision and their daily lives is affects young people, this effect secularists, but increasingly urban middle class from all different ideological backgrounds, including some conservatives, urban conservatives who are disgruntled, unhappy about the direction of the country. how so whatever happened this election president are to want whether he wins or not. he is facing an anti air tuan majority. and i think this is an important point. okay, that's an important point to the person who would like to replace it a want to describe him for our audience, for people, perhaps you don't fall with turkish politics. oh, so i used to be a journalist and had the opportunity to get to know both men and no to a man can be part of the report. can my college dora low is a, is
12:21 am
a soft spoken former. as in former civil servant used to be work at the read the head of the social security division. he is 74 years old, sort of a thoughtful social democrat. not a man who is known for his machismo or his sort of tough of tactics when it comes to politics, but he's not positioning himself as the next step to one. and i think that is also very important. he's basically saying, look, i am a transition figure, i uniter. this is a big tent. this is a big coalition, and i can guide this country until we return to rule of law and democracy. the big point, the sales pitch of the session is democracy. well, it sounds like you're just, you're describing him as maybe turkey's version of joe biden, who promised to take the united states out of the trump error. is that what he's
12:22 am
doing? i'm going to take you out of year to one error. that's exactly what it is. that's exactly what it is. he is leading a coalition that has different political parties. it's a coalition of 6 parties and is externally backed by the kurdish party broker and his party. so you have people who come from a different ideological strains and he's basically saying, i am a neither. this is a big tent, it's turkeys you by the moment, or we're going to see whether it's turkey is ready for is joe biden movement. and i think the and on a different level, you know, opposition parties have agreed to bring the country back to rule of law and parliamentary system. and as such, a good girl is a transition figure. let me ask you before we run out of time quickly. if president
12:23 am
are to one loses, will he accept defeat? i think he will, and some analysts or journalists might tell you, he never will accept defeat. i happen to disagree with this, although i don't have the crystal ball. obviously if it's very close neck and neck, there will be a contested election in a prison, or i might ask for a recount and do a ball so narrow or donald trump. but if this is a significant enough, lead one port percent or 2 percent, or even bigger for the opposition president, i don't will accept it will accept it because he's a man who's built his entire legitimacy on elections the ballot. i think he came, he would not be able to mobilize and sort of a bureaucratic response to defy the balance of the results. so we would definitely be following and see what happens when those results come in as well. i mean
12:24 am
taskbar, we appreciate your time and your insights that i thank you. thank you. ah, the war in ukraine is being fought on the ground in the air and also where people get their news and information rushes weapon of choice. there a constant stream of dis, information. social media is full of these images and stories. they can spread in an instant if they find an audience, they can create confusion, fear, or confirm extreme opinions. many of them start here in the russian city of st. petersburg. at what's known as the internet research agency, or i r re, also known as the troll factory. deborah, it's owned by wagner paramilitary group financier. if jenny, pre gozine scene here allegedly at the front in ukraine as his private army shoots
12:25 am
at ukrainian positions the i r a is just one agency that works along with russia's fs. be intelligent service. also creating content are patriotic volunteers, while others trolls and bots spread the word on social media. the messages are intended to hit different targets or sometimes multiple targets. for example, they, they want to influence their own population to, ah, to increase support of so called special offer military operation to influence people to go to the army. and of course, they try to influence western communities, western countries. so a population of western countries to weaken our support. let's look at some examples of fake messages that found audiences. this image of ukrainian president followed him as a lansky giving away parts of ukraine to poland in exchange for tanks based on no
12:26 am
real reporting, but playing on ancient fears in ukraine's being divided yet again. or this message for our russian audience stating that the u. s. intends to launch 5000 tomahawk missiles at russia in a surprise strike supposedly source from the new york times. though no record of any such article exists on the new york times website. or this, alleging that presidents are lansky, has squirreled away a fortune. fueling longstanding stereotypes about ukrainian leaders, corruption. this one feeds the narrative in far right and far less circles in the u . s. in europe, that sending money to ukraine is wasteful and useless on the enriching the leadership there. what makes these messages effective? i think if i would have to choose one word that describes it, it will be a subtlety. basically, a really good piece of information is predominantly using actual facts i is either twisting them or adding something on top, or as far as applying just
12:27 am
a bit of it. so from the 1st, you know, reads are the 1st glance it might seem real. and then, and then you sort of can drag them because, you know, if someone saw something obscene, you can clearly see that it's something you're, you just look away when it's subtle, when there's a variety of different factors and holes when it seems that there are a lot of different voices wasting us out, especially like on social media. and if we see that there's a lot of comments in going on there in the sixty's or and using the article. this can be highly, highly, highly active. because it just seems, seems real. it just seems real and it is real to many people, though it's impossible to measure how many people's minds are changed by this information. it's clear that russia places a high value on it and that the garage of fake and twisted stories is not likely to lead up. soon. of the day's almost done. the compensation continues on wine. we

12:29 am
with d. w. with the allure of the gold. so often it's a fatal attraction. tens of thousands are drawn to the mauritania and desert to dig in treacherous miles and risk their lives every day. but for them, hope is greater than fear. global 3000. 60 minutes on d, w. o. would the assert and red, it's 10 times more holocaust survivors in postwar,
12:30 am
germany for them. life after 1945 through today has been starting a new and processing the past. it's been a common notion in the post war period until and part today. nazis are always those other people on the ongoing struggle for remembrance, against denial in the land of the perpetrators starts may 6th on d, w. ah, hello, welcome. jo. favorite show the 77 percent coming to straight from them. yeah, i do. i never thought to illegal myoshi, i promise you, we have a show parked fool will know it's a fun. you don't want to read that out with this program showcase is the beauty of our.
