2:02 am
site 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 as 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 the call for the him, berlin. and this is the day, the
2:03 am
performance of the old to every aspect of human life. it has been compared to the introduction of the printing press. for this technologist 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 citizens, but we are able to engines without understanding the time of having to find a way to protect ourselves from a i utilization of human weakness to pick up prostate. you saw the difference between what is real and what is made up, is diminished by the deep, never again, looks like a logical utilization move as low as it is moving to day. also on the day of record heat waves across the northern hemisphere, we'll look at what the brutal temperatures mean for our health. the last year i had
2:04 am
a heat stove. 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 a 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
2:05 am
battlefield weapons. a guy with a mission to hunt and kill 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 already today, the line actors are exploiting the technology to advance their agenda. in this video, russian, president tutoring is announcing on state television that the 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 the news agency. ria boat said that the speech was fake and the result of a heck this video, which also announced a general mobilization or shared thousands of times on multiple social media platforms. but defects like this one, the main purpose is to spread confusion and panic among people. here by hacking official t v and radio channels,
2:06 am
it contributed to confusion by using official and trustworthy sources. to spread this information, deep fix and generate of 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 generated 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 raising information at this information content. 2 of the most notable defect examples in this war went viral. in march 2022, one was of ukrainian presidency lensky, ordering his troops to surrender. the other was a fulton suggesting a peaceful resolution. it both had poor quality and were debunked very quickly,
2:07 am
but did manage to cost confusion and sold out in a war. bad quantity face 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 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 defect. and i would say that that is probably the largest threat dr. here. defects are not only being used to manipulate low coats in this wible example . a man impersonates a russian soldier on has dual units around 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, she was a resident of hand in china. he had used artificial intelligence too for his
2:08 am
followers. several hints hoped to discover the truth behind this video. the man had a hand on accent. let me show 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 that defects and generate a i are becoming more sophisticated and therefore also more dangerous by the date. however, they're not being used in a way and skill as experts had anticipated,
2:09 am
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 something that's 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, in ukraine. it's not exactly clear how russian military is using ai,
2:10 am
it's not very public about it's developments and applications. unlike the ukranian, 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 that you created a lot more um, open about its use and its needs for and i can you tell us how state actors and non state actors have been supporting ukraine with artificial
2:11 am
intelligence in order to overcome the numerical 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 bullets. so we'll just say this is an a i war. well, this is certainly a conflict between pure adversaries. we're artificial intelligence is now discussed
2:12 am
publicly. it isn't the main tool. obviously the war is conducted on the ground and the real conflict 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, 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 funded in the future with this technology, of course,
2:13 am
evolving very rapidly. a crane is a very specific conflict. other words, me different from ukraine. they made the longer, it may be shorter, they may utilize different technologies, different state and non state actors. maybe he's 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 sounds off. and this is work unofficial intelligence tools, which are now try it 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
2:14 am
just describing happening on the fly, from real autonomy as a i navigated weapons being deployed on the battlefield? well, some of these prophecies 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 ukraine and then 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, the russian military, united states,
2:15 am
and all the major militaries were discussing this networked 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, 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 so i think years away from truly autonomous systems being filled it out. but
2:16 am
it is also going to 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 in you are, for example, may differ from approaches towards fully autonomy us weapons in countries like china, russia, iran, or elsewhere, but again, but not quite there yet. but the reality that we are discussing right now has been sketched out for years and even decades. so 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
2:17 am
say this is the new normal and the west. phoenix is one of the many places in the northern hemisphere battling vs. stream temperatures or zone of state capital has experienced an unprecedented 18 consecutive days of over 43 degrees celsius. the heat killed over $400.00 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. last year i had a heat stove. stay in a park. during the day, and i don't really remember any of it, it still hasn't come back, but i woke up in a nice bath at the salvation army
2:18 am
a doing all they can to help champ, who providing not just the basics. but the reason they like to give it to carry on survival of i didn't have them come in. i don't know what i would do. yeah, it's hard. sorry. without these chargeable assistance. many of the homeless via what could happen means a whole lot like in the world. the know like because without water will be you know, like in the hospital right now for the hydration. and i think that 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
2:19 am
a day in a current teach wave. the 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 or emergency you and it's already feeling the heat or more people being brought into to 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 positions at the district change about how many he 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 older
2:20 am
leave, were 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, and strong sunlight, of course, as well. 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 compared to like a hurricane, right? if houston is about to be hit by a category 5 hurricane,
2:21 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 here people are still dying and especially those for a verna barr at extreme 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 then 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, and you're being provided with those resources. so that we can save lives, heat wave seemed to last longer and longer. 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 p and then the temperature scroll down overnight
2:22 am
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 be able to breathe, 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 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 come a b d 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?
2:23 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, the number one advice obviously is to stay 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 already finally dehydrated, so making sure you are forcing yourself to drink healthy, healthy fluids to stay ahead. if you have the option, if you're outside and working on of even 5 minutes, a shape that makes a huge difference, especially when the heat index is 115 or 120 in places like houston, 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 comorbid 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,
2:24 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 thank you. the israel's president is up here to 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 west. the hours bar right alliance is wrong concerned due to plans to weaken the is rarely supreme court and expand settlements in the occupied west bank. you know, we use washington bureau chief reports from washington in new york city,
2:25 am
as israel's president works to a li, concerns in the us the us and this where i live alone had close and friendly political ties, despite differences of a 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 into 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 were some very extreme elements in the government. and so it's not prime minister benjamin that's on joe who will be at the capital to mark is rode 75th anniversary and started really president. i saw a council chord,
2:26 am
dresses congress in a joint session. this could you saw it and then you all government and it's plans to reform that additional rate system. but also that efforts to find a compromise between the government and opposition and easily compromise seems hard to combine huge demonstrations against proposed traditional reforms or dominates in the streets. the countries deeply divided over the political pos, often you governments, and can i ask brit boons 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, for store it low. and this speech is going to be designed to repair some of the damage done both by 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 to start and re to repair some of those
2:27 am
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 cultural friendship with israel. 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 amazing. that is our time, but make sure to stay informed. stay engaged and stay in touch. you will find us on
