9:30 am
starcy, this critical role material is used in factories for electric cars. mines mainly in the congo under terrible in humane conditions. so both rush and look into the of is the 45 minutes on dw. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. the magic corner chat, hot spot and some great culture of the board us to boat w travel off we go. the artificial intelligence seems capable of anything that can write academic papers or to pick the pope wearing a very on pope like down jackets or even compose music. the possibilities of age
9:31 am
are simply endless. and that leaves us certain questions. welcome to dw science magazine, tomorrow. today the at least biological time travel was created using free a software trained with the models that tell the system what an eye is, what it knows is, in other words, how human being is put together, the users have to decide how good the images and the generated clip there are no limits to a 1st of all, it basically has no ethics and because it has no ethics, i can of course combine any images i want a i can also be used to produce erotic or sexualized images. a glance at the list of freely
9:32 am
available training models shows there's already demand the providers such as chunk g, p, t, and vendor open a. i rely on a cloud solution to generate images. this means that the actual calculation of the image takes place on controlled servers. the system rejects offensive image ideas, for example, with so liberties free a i program. so on the other hand, run on private computers, there are no content restrictions. the cloud solution provides a certain level of control when kind of, you can definitely prevent specific from some certain types of queries. that's what's done. for example in check g, p cheese takes production where they say the following questions icon on. so all that's controversial, but i don't think that you can completely prevent misuse with these kinds of
9:33 am
specifications. you can limits it, but that will always be ways through new promo. so by varying the search query to eventually produce problematic content to put it in. and the training models include increasing numbers of models based on real people, the, the actor christian bail, for example. his model can also be downloaded and customized according to one's own wishes vba just generated by the end up looking deceptively real. legally. this is a gray area that are already legal, regulations and occupational health and safety that are relevant when it comes to avoiding discrimination which kind of ready to be applied. now, that's also the general data protection regulation. no, but it will be a challenge to keep up with this pace of development from it's far too late for technical restrictions. the image generators are open source, which means they're freely available and open not only to any further development,
9:34 am
but also to any use. preventing these developments from going against what society wants is impossible and rolling them back later isn't always possible. the internet is now filled with fake pictures of real people. vladimir poor team with a piece dive in front of a tank. christiane benefits system doesn't even meet 30 seconds for such a picture. today, you can hardly tell whether an image was generated by ai or whether it's a real photo and it's the quality is already very, very good. and yes, we are certainly entering an age where we have to look very closely. yeah, you know, and, and that's also what i want. that image is generated by ai contain a watermark, so to speak. so that anyone can easily determine whether or not the image is of natural origin is not 30 and or school. after all,
9:35 am
the new a technology used sensibly has many good and also acetic possibilities. a french artist, for example, came up with this time travel through 100 years of fashion. the or this film was also created by and a i program the . what do we actually know about human intelligence? what part of the brain is responsible for speech? which parts are activated when we're forming sentences? and will the computers of tomorrow be able to read our thoughts, science report or false one, the wants to find out 1st hand. but the university of geneva. scientists want to use artificial intelligence to transcribe off goals into spoken language. it sounds like science fiction,
9:36 am
but the 1st steps to make it reality have already been taken. computers and evolving languages, research on learning how to read off thoughts, raising new ethical questions. how far can we go? what are the risks this morning here was taking a selfie in the sitting room. the scientists are looking for answers. they want to join the largest societal debate before science. fiction becomes reality. do you have any questions? yes, i did. first i have to find out what's already possible. computers already read my thoughts. you're assigned to sylvia. monica salty is doing research on. i'm going to face to connect the brain to a computer. and what kind of experiment are we doing now?
9:37 am
so, so we've got, tell me more about the experiments here. we're going to do with me. we try to decode when the people imagine pronouncing, in this case one of 2 syllables. and so it's about the coding speech. and the ultimate goal of the experiment is, of course, from one side to understand better. and our speech is included in the brain and those how we would produce speech. but also in the long term to develop an interface for people that i've never understood these or this. it could also work for people who have difficulty speaking for a unable to speak to brain computer interface. could make it possible by typing directly into the person's thoughts. okay. okay. yeah, there's a lot going on in my brain actually. yeah. seems that there's a brain the right conclusion. that was
9:38 am
a good one. to know the says the system grad. and here we go. my task is to feed my thoughts to the computer. then people know what i want to say before i say it. so during the experiment, it's really important when you performed the measuring, so you have to concentrate on our stitch relating this to see levels. mm hm. which is full and again, kind of 4444444. so we do this for 5 seconds. so you did come to visit me, keeping the same pace relaxed. d, d, g, d, k. okay, but i don't pronounce, been done, pronounced. so you think about saying these words is the syllables, but you don't pronounce them. it's read about the mental thing. okay,
9:39 am
so are you ready to start? mm hm. perfect. the iris site, the syllables in my mind over and over the pottery symbol shows a narrow scientist of my thoughts are reaching the computer to my brain. and the machine connected the to the same experiment is performed at the university hospital in geneva. but one level higher. this is what the next steps his brain looked like. at the end of march. they measured the electrical current in his brain. the young swiss mon, has epilepsy, which we surgically treated. they put 200 electrodes into his brain.
9:40 am
he's seeing the scans for the 1st time. shouldn't really impressive. he took part in the same experiment that i did just at a high level. younique's story is a stroke of luck for the geneva base project. significantly the declared to now it's now clear that if the patient participates in the experiment, we can also use the electricity and implanted to treat his epilepsy. to explain all 4 of law, then we'll have a small exact across section of a particular brain region from the previous best. we can then combine the information from multiple patients to get a clearer picture of which brain regions are really the most important to drive my interface. and to teach it what we'd like to say. moving on now for me, the big moment. did the computer actually learn to read my thoughts?
9:41 am
can i know steve, the computer with my thoughts? if it does actually work, the battery symbol will stop loading. in the best case, all the way to the top icon and do it every time. but i've actually gotten pretty good the to the message. so far. i just keep the computer a command with my thoughts and only with my thoughts is it, it won't make me think impressive experience, but also unsettling. if i'm already able to give the computer don't come on, how long before i can read all of my thoughts and in the end, what will that lead to the problem? why?
9:42 am
so many questions. maybe you have one about the world of science to just send us a video text or voice mail. if we use your question in the show, we'll send you a little surprise to say thank you. this week's question is from timothy rental group. in kenya, the do, many women have different brains and different abilities. the brain is one of the most complex structures in the known universe, a. it still remains a mystery to science. a cross section shows the brain consists of the cerebrum at the back. the cerebellum, on the inside is the guy and stuff, a lot or mid brain, which borders the brain stem. but how all the parts are connected varies from person to person. the cerebrum in men has more neurons,
9:43 am
whereas women's brains are more convoluted. but does that fact explain certain abilities? that's why men have better spatial orientation skills and women are more sensitive to emotions. a 2013 study prove that both sides of a woman's brain are more connected to each other. whereas men have stronger connections within each of the sides of the brain. the discovery leg to a hasty conclusion that women are better at multitasking, while men are more goal oriented. but a year later, they realized that the differences had nothing to do with gender, but rather the actual size of the brain. still, differences between men and women have definitely been discovered in the so called green matter of the cerebral cortex. researchers at the national institute of mental health in bethesda, maryland, in the us,
9:44 am
conducted brain scans on almost $1000.00 subjects. both men and women. the examines the brain structure and activities and compare the volume in different areas of this to reboot, core, texas, gree matter. it showed that women have more green matter in their frontal brains as well as other areas. men on the other hand, have more gray matter in the lateral and posterior areas, such as the so called occipital, low visual images are processed there and enter into our consciousness. it's also responsible for facial recognition, of the regions that are more pronounced, and women are linked to carrying out tasks, sommerling impulses and processing conflicts. our brain is also strongly influenced by professional and social demands. one things for a certain our brains are very flexible. sometimes there is no
9:45 am
way around it. the relationship is over. you have to get away from the person you use to month. but how do you tell them? some people don't need time to think about it. they just range all phone contact. that method is known as ghosting. ghosting. sounds familiar. ghosting is when someone stops responding to text messages, phone calls workshop, or other social platforms. they just break off all contact and disappear, and it happens a lot. in one us study of more than 7000 people, 56 percent reported being ghosted by a partner, family member or friend. maybe you've even goes to someone yourself, but it doesn't mean that it's no big deal. of being ghost, it is stressful. it's a shock when people you care about suddenly disappear, we all go. so what happened and imagine the worst less blood flows to the brain's
9:46 am
prefrontal cortex. and since that's why rational thought takes place, we might have trouble thinking clearly operating perceived, this kind of uncertainty is a threat and stop sending emergency signals to the entire body. and why does it hot so much? well, social rejection activates the same regions in the brain as physical pain. it's no one that goes, things does up so many emotions. we feel sad, angry, helpless, disappointed. it can damage of sense of self west and not trust enough of the pain is real. how about tempering yourself instead? move around a lot and get some good sleep. all those little things help you gain back control and stop searching for go. maybe it's time to have
9:47 am
a chat with an old friend and let it old. ringback the smell of freshly baked bread, but how do you keep the outside crisp and the inside saw the processes involved in banking are not fully understood by everyone. even today. researchers at the technical university of munich, i'm working on new recipes to create the perfect brett and they do it using a 3 d printer. fresh bread and hot out of the computer. it sounds futuristic, but it's happening today. this is what it looks like when a 3 d printer of a sprint take the others came up with the idea she's researching how to make bread and other big goods without even of in at unix technical university. the 3 d printer, she says, can add unique textures and sensations and
9:48 am
infrared beam is used to stabilize the bread. and while the 3 d printer may look like a probe landing on mars, enables an infinite number of shapes and skips several steps in the baking process . to kind of find out how we can free ourselves from the traditional process for making bait goods. which means going through a stringent process from needing to forming and from cooking to baking, we can create totally different instructions and text you as a software. being able to create nearly any design is just one of the many advantages. within bucketful said the thinking process itself is a bit random, like the chrome structure or how the pores are distributed in the don't. bakers also have some influence, but the details exactly how the pores are distributed is still just coincidence. 3 d printer allows me to place the pores precisely and always create the exact same product, the slicer product after the speakers can not only pick the shape,
9:49 am
but also the contents, wheat starch. and so a protein have proven to be the best toner, the do for the printer. they have the perfect properties for printing when mixed together correctly, which is vital. the researchers have already been able to print salty, big goods within less salt. i'm happy, most cutting the 3 d printer allows me to reduce the amount of salt by giving me the opportunity to determine where to place the salt and the bread for traits, the same salty taste when i eat the bread, even though there is less solid plumbing, i would also method of shipping as i've got traditional wheat flour doesn't work as the toner, the wheat gluten gums up the devices and to print jets. printed baked goods are always gluten free, but other additives are possible. artificial flavors are already being tested and
9:50 am
minerals trace elements and vitamins might not be far behind. a 3 d printer could potentially offer individual personalized nutrition. table it is kind of a consolidate will. theoretically, we can use the 3 d printer to make fate goods with additives that we select as long as the dough is able to be printed because of the recipes for various nutritional profiles, but basically flexible, and can be adapted to personalize nutrition when necessary. for example, the bread custom bread from a printer is still little more than a concept. it's an interesting idea, but it's unlikely to replace bread from a traditional bakery anytime soon. i on the borders between virtual reality and the real world are getting murkier and murkier. a new, a high support in process can transfer all the details of real locations into the
9:51 am
matter of verse, allowing us to visit places virtually that no longer exist the, the container city and stood comp gemini, an actual place that has a say, and whether one of the major digital trends that the future will become reality. some people say the mid verse will only be virtual, but one day, this lecture home will be native code. and though their virtual students, what they learned together is 3 of the mets of us. the supposed is a lucian of the internet. expensive ads tell us that the many of us will be a limitless virtual space where our digital identities live, communicates and walk. the container city in shortcut, is still far away from the mess of us. it's a space and could in reality. but javan mentioned you and i've taught no one to change that and has launch the digital container city project. in terms of the
9:52 am
trust of the teams ends up in this is a tablet with a different sensor. so can, you can use inter quickly make a 3 d model from the preview of a 3 dimensional object into the lynch also uses. a drone differs over fet programs that to shoot the buildings in the contain a city from specific heights and angles. mackenzie 7, that's what of course you can do it from any height. the more pictures you have, the more data you have time, you can then be sure that you've really photographed and scanned the object from every possible angle. the research project is also looking to develop methods for quickly collecting digital information on the in. * i have fine it with as little assets and equipment as possible. certainly contain especially will be dismantled. but the awesome cultural center with that small
9:53 am
studios practice readings and stages will continue on virtually and to full goes to plan, will move into the mess of us. the and initial digital model is being created from the photos in 3 days. so moving on the 28 containers from the sites into the virtual world, we'll take a lot of time, several months. in fact maximilian shamella is part of the team. he's working to make it possible to move factually throughout the entire container session that that gives us an attorney's toilet. it's nice that virtual worlds have no limits. you can build whatever you can imagine. but with the container city, we're trying to make a virtual space as true to the original as possible, and there's an unbelievable amount of data. so the challenge is how to get it small enough so that it can be viewed on every device on all of your god goes on
9:54 am
a smartphone or on a normal computer. who can kind of just how intricate the real world is becomes apparent when working inside container, city small barn stages like traveling back in time to the 1970s it to disappear and with it only actual surroundings that make it so you know, the that fights the motivation is to make it as detailed as possible to reconstruct the feelings of, of having really been there. you and that's what makes it difficult. this, the little details that you tried to show then require you to carefully scan them in all directions in school. stan animation institution the film academy and looks like spoke germany plays a key role and making interactive rooms. how's the data? the digital objects have to be movable in the virtual world without losing the
9:55 am
actual properties. i got switched gears for from one of the projects. most importantly, research topics is the ability to separate individuals, objects from a big scan so that you can move a chair, for example. this is, that's basically an example of how the future in the metaphors will make it possible to find the real world virtually. whether or not the method of us will actually be accepted as one of the big ideas for the digital future. depends on real place is also functioning in the virtual world. and once we digital the archives of this room, i hope that it is still useful, that it can both still be entered by and you can move around in any income, but also that it's still used when it's a digital root. 2 what will be possible in the future can be seen in the 1st digital version of the ball and stay during the visit to the 1970s
9:56 am
will remain intact. and every visitor can dove into a world full of all culture and communication that no longer exists in their real wealth. this unique place will disappear in a few months. the container, city and northern still got to come, then may be experienced. but truly that with this week's tomorrow to day science magazine by dw, see you next time. and until then, keep on wondering the the,

10:00 am
multitasking these, the modern methods. because if we do too much at once, we get it all wrong, mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage humans and multitasking. want to now on youtube, d. w documentary. the, this is the, the news life from breland. ukraine says it has read, taking a keen village from russian forces. but moscow denies its troops with being pushed back. despite the claim, gains keeps counter offensive.
