more news on our website, that's d, w dot com the we need to act before it's too late. that's the message from the 1st discussion on artificial intelligence at the united nations security council. worries are growing about the potential dangers the technology poses to the global economy and international security. the fear of creating an indomitable monster is growing around the world as a development is advancing more and more rapidly and set to accelerate. it's hard to predict. now, what will be possible using ai in the future so much so that even its creators are demanding more regulation. now the un secretary general is suggesting a global oversight body to ensure peace and security even when the powerful technology ends up in the wrong hands. on nicole for him, berlin, and this is the day, the
12:03 am
fundamental, the old to every aspect of human life. it has been compared to the introduction of the printing press. one distinct knowledge of both is mind blowing, paste your call between fascination and fear. we do not fully know what it is that we do not know about the pictures as though we're building engines without understanding the time of having to find a way to protect ourselves from a ice utilization onto language, pickup, prostate. you saw the difference between what is real and what is made up, is diminished by the never again, looks like the logical utilization move as low as it is moving to day. also on the day a record heat waves across the northern hemisphere. we'll look at what the brutal
12:04 am
temperatures mean for our health. the last year i had a heat stroke. dana park during the day and i, i don't really remember any of it. it still hasn't come back, but i woke up in a nice bath at the hospital. so welcome to the show. it's good to have you with us. there is no time to lose you and secretary general and tony with parish was very clear about that. and experts agree, the development of a i, technology will never again be as slow as it is today. if we want to ran it in, we need to get to move on. if we fail to act, now, the consequences could be, well, the problem is that we don't really know. that is why gutierrez is pushing for the creation of an international ai watch dog along the lines of the international atomic energy agency. artificial intelligence has the potential to do great, good. it also has the potential to do great harm. the advent of autonomy was
12:05 am
battlefield weapons. a, i was a mission to hon until is no longer in the realm of science fiction. but we're not there yet. there is time for a non for live ration, but are ready today. line actors are exploiting the technology to advance their agenda. in this video, russian, president tutoring is announcing on state television that russia is under attack. the message was also carried by several radio stations. but it is a fake to be precise, a deep faith, the kremlin, and state on news agency. ria boat said that the speech was freak and the result of a heck this video, which also announced a general mobilization, was shared thousands of times on multiple social media platforms. but defects like this one, the main purpose is to spread the confusion and panic among people here by hacking official t,
12:06 am
v and radio channels. it contributed to confusion by using official and trustworthy sources to spread this information, defects and generate to a i have to become stronger in the past years and are being misused, especially in conflict to manipulate people. i think that'd be the recent developments in a i generate the text we know with large language models and a i generate that images. and we've the foreseeable evolution of the deep stakes technologies or videos. we are heading in the direction of having a huge risk of blogs, of really information at this information content. 2 of the most notable the fake examples in this war went viral. in march 2022, one was of ukrainian presidency lensky, ordering his troops to surrender. the other was of putin suggesting a peaceful resolution. you both had poor quality and were debunked very quickly,
12:07 am
but did manage to cost confusion and sold out in a war. bad quantity fakes can still create uncertainty and they are used to manipulate on a different levels. is that when i have images and video of human rights violations in the ukraine by the russians. who can, can say, hey, those are fake. how do we know they're real? when politicians get in trouble for doing and same things they shouldn't have done . they claim the fake, and i would say that that is probably the larger threat doctor here. defects are not only being used to manipulate low coats in this world example a man impersonates a russian soldier on his do an account, the chinese version of tech talk. this man shared and mentoring his 1st hand experience of the war with his 400000 followers. but he was exposed as being neither russian nor a soldier. in reality, he was a resident of hand in china. he had used artificial intelligence too for his
12:08 am
followers. several hens hoped to discover the truth behind this video. the man had a hand on x and when i showed that what color there are on that. so movements office face at the level of his mouth and chin and an electric ukrainian, a nuclear power plant is actually in hand on for despite many users pointing out, inconsistencies, some fell for him saying russian soldiers fight to the end. long live the who ra victory. do you in band, his account on june, 16th for disseminating false information, says deep fake, splashed onto the screen on the screen in 2016 or so. we've only seen an increase in the sophistication and the power and the misuse. so we see the defects and generating a i are becoming more sophisticated and therefore also more dangerous by the date.
12:09 am
however, they're not being used in a way and skilled as experts had anticipated, but still enough to sold out with civilians on both sides of the war. russia isn't just using ai and problem again. it's also looking deeply into the use of ai in the military. let's bring him sand. been that with the center for naval analyses? he's a member of the russian studies program there. mr. bennett, welcome to the day and the war. and ukraine has become a massive artillery battle. but what role has a i played in russia's war efforts so far, to a prior to the invasion, russian military has looked at artificial intelligence as a data analysis and a decision making to and the same is true for the ukranian side as well. basically, artificial intelligence is a tool that helps military helps the operators to sit through very large quantities of data to identify something very specific, like a very specific target or description of the target. right now in the war in,
12:10 am
in ukraine. it's not exactly clear how russian military is using, it's not very public about it's developments and applications unlikely ukrainian, the side which has publicly spoken about the need and the usefulness of artificial intelligence. but the russian military does have a very significant and very specific focus on artificial intelligence. it is a tool that is supposed to make certain operations and certain technologies faster, more effective. and ultimately, it is a tool that is supposed to enable russian military and the russian military operations do not just be effective, but also operate outside of dangerous environments by replacing soldiers with uh, essentially unmanned and crude and economist systems. yeah, you say the ink ran and a lot more um, open about its use and its needs for um a i can you tell us how state actors and non state actors have been supporting ukraine with artificial intelligence in order to overcome the numerical
12:11 am
disadvantage? they have on the battlefield, and there's a lot of public data about western companies and allied companies, helping ukraine for example, safe through lots of satellite imagery, data sift through a lot of data and video imagery generated from thousands of drones that are flying on the front there's a lot of evidence of western companies also being on the record with artificial intelligence, basically helping with targeting of and essentially going through a lot of data information to select very specific targets. there's also evidence of western companies helping ukraine says to russian communications, as well as identify visually us with facial recognition and other technologies, some of the russian soldiers units and unit 4 minutes. okay, so we'll just say this is an a i war. well, this is certainly
12:12 am
a conflict between pure adversaries. we're artificial intelligence is now discussed publicly. it isn't the main tool, obviously, the war is conducted on the ground and the real consulate this far between the infantry is trying to hold onto the territory. but artificial intelligence is a tool that helps decision makers help soldiers, health operators to handle data. and there's been an unprecedented amount of data generated in this war through uh, for example, jones, which via soldiers in the field through social media with the bystanders. and these gigabytes and terabytes of data are nearly possible to sift through by regular people. and therefore, for artificial intelligence becomes a tool that helps these people to calculate and hone in on very specific images from the thousands and the millions of images and videos that are generated so far . all right, so to what extent is what's happening in ukraine indicator of how wars will be fine in the future with this technology, of course,
12:13 am
evolving very rapidly. the way you crane is a very specific conflict. other words may differ from ukraine. they may be longer, they may be shorter, they may utilize different technologies, different state, and allstate, actors maybe have different and also they, they may have different tactics. but what is not going to change going forward is the fact that a lot of data will be generated. that will be lots of data points from different systems, weapons, and soldiers on the ground. there will be a lot of information that a lot of decision makers officers operators will have to make sense of. and this is worth unofficial intelligence tools, which are now tried out and ukraine or end, or possibly also try it out on the russian side. are coming in as very useful and very handy, essentially making sense of the battlefield, making sense of the combat environment and selecting very specific targets in a very precise manner. how far away are we from all of these processes that you're
12:14 am
just describing happening on the fly, from real economists? a i navigated weapons being deployed on the battlefield. well, some of these processes are, are already happening in ukraine. again, there's a lot of public data about ukraine military using a lot of artificial intelligence and other data management tools. we're not quite there yet with an actual autonomous systems operating on their own. selecting targets, operating swarms, but we're engine towards that reality every day. as new systems, new tactics and new procedures are tried out in ukraine, both by the ukrainian and the russian military's and with a global actors looking very intensely at what kind of technology systems and concepts can actually work. of course, this net centric a network l. c of that you just described is in reality, that many militaries are driving towards for years before the invasion of ukraine,
12:15 am
the russian military, united states, and all the major militaries were discussing this network of battlefield with lots of technologies, cooperating and working together. basically as a single organism, if you will, as a single system. and so that hasn't changed. there is still a focus on this network environment where data management data analysis is going to be the primary focus isn't it? if we're looking at a future where autonomy is weapons are doing the killing, what are the ethical concerns here? is it going to become too easy to kill the opponent as well? this is the debate that's happening right now across civil societies in the west and elsewhere. at the united nations level, in many international organizations that are looking at the ethics of autonomy as weapons making their own choices. of course, we're not there yet. it is, um, we're still, i think, years away from truly autonomous systems being filled it. but it is also going to
12:16 am
depend on the, on a specific actor that is working on that technology. some countries are simply more willing to utilize our systems and weapons for faster results and other countries are less. so, and of course, a lot of that also depends on the strengths of the civil society in those countries that can have a say in whether or not such weapons should be built in field it. and of course, the approaches across the west in the united states and, and you are, for example, may differ from approaches towards fully autonomy us weapons in countries like china, russia, iran, or elsewhere. but again, we're not quite there yet, but the reality that we are discussing right now has been sketched out for years and even decades. i've done that with the center for naval analysis. thank you so much for your time. thank you. the record heat waves are sweeping the world and sign to
12:17 am
say this is the new normal and the us phoenix is one of the many places in the northern hemisphere battling vx stream temperatures or zone of state capital has experienced an unprecedented 18 consecutive days of over 43 degrees celsius, the heat killed over 400 people in the wider county last year with the cities homeless population among those most at risk. the streets of phoenix, arizona, sweltering, and few is suffering more than the cities homeless. said christina hale. this piece of flimsy top poland is all that protects it from temperatures of almost 50 degrees celsius. the last year i had a heat stove staying at the park during the day. and i don't really remember, any of it is still hasn't come back, but i woke up in a nice bath at the salvation army
12:18 am
a doing all they can to help champ, who are providing not just the basics. but the reason they like to be able to carry on survival i didn't, as it says, i'm having, i don't know what i would do. yeah, it's hard. all right. without these chargeable assistance. many of the homeless via what could happen means a whole lot like in the world, you know, like, because without water will be, you know, like in the hospital right now for the hydration. and i think with the people for helping out a lot because without them will be like very sick and like, i can't imagine the salvation army they've been helping almost 500 people
12:19 am
a day in the current t to wave is doing the most good for those who need it? the most? dr. a wise dirani is an emergency medicine physician in houston, texas. welcome to the day dr. dirani, temperatures are quite brutal where you are, are emergency units already feeling the heat or more people being brought in. did you heat related conditions? yeah, absolutely, it's definitely been a tough few weeks and a tough summer. it's a common topic of conversation amongst us physicians at the district change about how many heat related illnesses we're seeing. we're seeing everything across the spectrum. so you know, people in their twenties and thirties, that may have been outside for an extended period of time showing up with kind of mild symptoms of dehydration where they may be having cramping. they may feel nauseous, really 15, but they're really kind of concerning thing is we have a lot of folks that have chronic medical conditions who may or who may be elderly,
12:20 am
where exposed to these temperatures as well. and that's when you get into those diagnoses of heat exhaustion in each stroke where you get the damage to your oregon . so kidney damage, muscle breakdown. and as your piece alluded to heat stroke where you get confused in your brain, essentially stops working the way that it needs to. and that's when those patients come in with extremely high temperatures. and that is life threatening. and it's something that we've been seeing sense, you know, mid may, and we're continuing to see, and unfortunately doesn't look like the temperatures are going to be much cooler, some over the next few weeks or months at least. is there enough awareness among the public, especially the vulnerable demographic of the dangers of exposure to heat and strong sunlight? of course is what and you know, all in all, i'd say no. there's some communities that do a good job of kind of making people aware of the emergency that is this extreme degree of heat. i like to compare it to like a hurricane, right? if houston is about to be hit by a category 5 hurricane,
12:21 am
everyone knows it's coming, everyone's making the preparations that they need to, they may be back reading or storing up on through the water. that kind of thing. there is no urgency to that level when it comes to the key. you know, people are still dying and especially those for a verna barr at extreme a red skin. so i think some cd is, are doing an okay job of providing resources and making sure people know that these resources exist. but some people in the communities are and, and we need to make sure that all communities across the entire country and really are active reading health care resources activated cooling centers, making sure that those are those that are at higher risk. no of these resources are being provided with those resources so that we can save lives. heat waves seemed to last longer and longer and how big of a difference does it make for the body to cope with these extremes? for a couple of days or 18 days like in the case of phoenix that it makes a huge difference. um, you know, if you are exposed to one day or if he and then the temperature scroll down
12:22 am
overnight your body's able to recover. but if, as you mentioned, if it's going on for weeks, it's harder. and especially if you're on last or you don't have access to air conditioning, all that fatigue and tension back in your body use under builds up to the point where a lot of times your body may not. i may not may be able to compensate and you end up in the hospital, especially those that have chronic medical conditions. so you may not be homeless, but you have chronic, you know, diabetes, heart failure, long issues. and you know, we all can't stay inside for 247 for you know, 3 weeks. you have to go outside to work, you know, complete your daily task. that kind of adds it up, adds up, adds up, and you know, the 1st few days you may be okay, but a week or 2 weeks and finally catches up to you. and especially if you're in that high risk kind of medical co morbidity category, unfortunate lot of those folks end up in the hospital. what is your advice to people facing base for track that he'd faces then?
12:23 am
yeah, unfortunately the, the best advice is you know, stay inside, but as i just mentioned, because these periods are so long, it's hard to tell people to not work. if you have kids, it's hard to tell them, hey, it's summer break. you can't go out to the pool or you can't play outside. so you know, number one advice, obviously as to upstate out of that keep as much as possible. but knowing that we have to be exposed to, to some degree. i would say focusing on hydration or whenever you feel thirsty, it's already too late. you're. you're already finally dehydrated, so making sure you are forcing yourself to drink out the healthy fluids to stay ahead. if you have the option, if you're outside and working of even 5 minutes of shape that makes a huge difference, especially when the heat index is 115 or 120 in places. like you said, i'm making sure that we check on our neighbors. that's another big thing. you know, we may be okay, we may be able to compensate, but that elderly neighbor or that neighbor with numerous come margaret conditions may not be. and so making sure that there is some type of system in place to check on those that are at high risk. and then um, you know, if you feel exhausted,
12:24 am
nauseous, vomiting, confuse any symptoms that are not normal for you. i seek medical attention because the earlier seek medical attention and the heat related illness, the higher the chances of recovery. as a wise to rodney antonia from houston and texas. thank you so much. i the thank you . the israel's president is the carrots august, says his country is going through a heated debate and society but will remain strong and stable democracy heard so it was speaking as he met us. presidential buying at the white house in washington are talk is also due to address congress on wednesday. the relationship between israel and it's closest ally is being tested as prime minister benjamin netanyahu faces criticism from the us, not in the hours bar right alliance as wrong concerned due to plans to weaken the is really supreme court and expand settlements in the occupied west bank you know, we use washington bureau chief reports from washington in new york city,
12:25 am
as israel's president works to a li, concerns in the us the us and this one have loan had close and friendly political ties despite differences over settlement policy and the treatment of the palestinian territories, common security and geo political interests have prove it to the hearts as prime minister benjamin netanyahu, his latest political course. the relationship has become more difficult, although presidential biden just invited mister nathangelo to the white house. he has also been open to the critical of the new controversial writing government. he said in an interview, i am one of those that believes israel is almost a security risk for a 2 state solution. there is some very extreme elements in the government or and so it's not prime minister benjamin, that's on joe who will be at the capital to mark is road 75th anniversary. instead, really, president ice a council chord dresses, congress in a joint session. you is,
12:26 am
could you saw it and then you all government and it slides to reform that additional rate system. but also that efforts to find a compromise between the government and the opposition isn't to compromise, seems hard to combine huge demonstrations against proposed traditional reforms. so dominating the streets, the country's deeply divided over the political part of the new government. something uh, i asked bret boone to form a global engagement director at the obama. why tell us how he sees the future of us is riley relationship? i think that us israel relations are, are at a historic low and this speech is going to be designed to repair some of the damage done both by a prime minister and yahoo. as well as members of his cabinet who are on the outer extremities of the political spectrum of israel. so this visit really is designed
12:27 am
to start and re to repair some of those broken bridges. then president tassel good rest is congress. here. he'll be trying to balance his own feelings about the government at home. there's a need to strengthen america's crucial friendship with israel. the an australian sailor who was rescued after being a drift at sea for 3 months with his dog has arrived back on dry land. timothy shaddick and his dogs, bella arrived in mexico on the mexican tune, a boat which found them in the pacific. shadrucks catamaran was cripples by bad weather in april on route from the positive mexico to french polynesia. the tooth arrived on rain water and by eating raw fish shadow was able to catch are amazing. that is our time. but make sure to stay informed. stay engaged and stay in touch. you will find us on twitter,
12:28 am

meet sounds stuff because modern spiritual feelings and find out what this rate is all about. 77 percent of the the sites for as far as with everything they have despite the objections of their own family, this female folly of places of the amazon ceilings even paid for the risk they take . they still believe strongly in what they do. it makes them proud of us in 60 minutes. the oh i'm nice. i love mastering. i've loved her since the beginning because of her
12:30 am
character because of her courage and how she thinks nice reading. so today wise mother annoyed for nearly 4 decades. she's for peace for me, for brace of freedoms in your home, then they run in spite of fall, very comfortable to trifles. our children should not inherit science from us, the an income if you look into the nice, just the stats, july 29th on w. hello and welcome to the 77 percent. my name is edith kimani and i'm coming to you from the land of a 1000 hills one to and it's gorgeous capital to guy leap. in this episode, we've been looking at traditionals from around the continent and what they mean for young people today.
