colleen is great for investing the invest. these are the everyone here just wants to get into big old quite a bit. coins, digital gold, and we want it to stay here in central and south america. they're known as big green arrows, digital gold, diggers. investors from all over on moving to latin america in search of bitcoin treasure. nowhere is the crypto currency value is more highly than here. but for many, the frenzy ends in ruin. we were promised high speed rail, but so far there is no sign of coin in latin america starts august 18th on d. w. 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 are simply endless. and that leaves us certain questions. welcome to dw science
4:31 pm
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
4:32 pm
available training models shows there's already demand the providers such as chunk g, p, t, and venture open a. i rely on a cloud solution to generate images. this means that the actual calculation of the image takes place. uncontrolled servers, the system rejects offensive image ideas. for example, with celebrities. free a i programs on the other hand, run on private computers. there are no content restrictions. the cloud solution provides a certain level of control. and kind of, you can definitely prevent specific problems and certain types of queries. that's what's done, for example, in chat, g, p, t's techs 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 specifications. you can limits it,
4:33 pm
but that will always be ways through new products. so by varying the search query to eventually produce problematic content puts here. and the training models include increasing numbers of models based on real people. the actor christian bail, for example. his model can also be downloaded and customized according to one's own wishes. the image 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,
4:34 pm
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 poo gene with a piece of 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 is 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, the new a technology used sensitively has many good and also acetic possibilities. a french
4:35 pm
artist, for example, came up with this time travel through 100 years of fashion. the. this film was also created by an ai 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 at the university of geneva. sorry, i just want to use artificial intelligence to transcribe off goals into spoken language. it sounds like science fiction,
4:36 pm
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 pierre was taking a selfie in the sitting room. the scientist. so looking for ounces, they want to join the law just societal debate before science fiction becomes reality. do you have any question? yes, i did. okay. first i have to find out what's already possible can compute as already read my thoughts. neuro scientist, sylvia monica salty is doing research on. i'm going to face to connect the brain to a computer with what kind of experiment i'll be doing now. so, so gotta tell me more about the experiment. so we're going to do with me. we try to
4:37 pm
decode, when the people imagine pronouncing, in this case one of 2 syllables. so it's about the coding speech. and the ultimate goal of the experiment is, of course, from one side to understands better. 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 of these orders. it could also work for people who have difficulty speaking for a unable to speak. the 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. since that there's a brain the right conclusion. that was a good one. to know the says the system right
4:38 pm
here we go. my task is to feed my thoughts to the computer. then it will know what i want to say before i say it. so during the experiment, it's really important when you performed imagery, so you have to concentrate on our stipulating this to see levels. mm hm. which is fall. and again, 444-4444. so we do this for 5 seconds and it continues to be in the same face, relaxed g, d, g, g. okay, okay, but i don't pronounce the 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,
4:39 pm
so are you ready to start? mm hm. perfect. the iris signed the syllables in my mind over and over the pottery symbol shows a nearer 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. he seemed to scans for the 1st time showing or even
4:40 pm
impressive. he took part in the same experiment that i did just at a high level. younique's store 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 at implanted to treaties, epilepsy, to explain all 4 of law, then we'll have a small, exact cross section of a particular brain region, we learned that for me 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 me 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? kind of i know steve, the computer with my thoughts. if it does actually work,
4:41 pm
the battery symbol will start loading. in the best case, all the way to the top, i can't do it every time. but i've actually gotten pretty good. that's it. the 1st part of the, the message. so fast to me, i mean if i just gave the computer a command with my thoughts and only with my thoughts, is it, it won't make me think not impressive experience, but also unsettling. if i'm already able to give a computer, don't come on. how long before i can read all of my thoughts and in the end, late to read, why so many questions. maybe you have one about the world of science
4:42 pm
to, to just send us a video text or voice mail. if we use your question in the show, we'll send you a little surprised 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. 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 along 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, whereas women's brains are more convoluted. but does that fact explain certain
4:43 pm
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 many 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, conducted brain scans on almost $1000.00 subjects,
4:44 pm
both men and women. the examines the brain structure and activities, and compare the volume in different areas of this, a reboot, core, texas, gree matter. it shows that women have more green matter in their frontal brains, as well as other areas been 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. the regions that are more pronounced in women are link to carrying out tasks, cycling 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 way around it. the relationship is over. you have to get away from the person you use to month.
4:45 pm
but how do you tell them? some people don't need time to think about it. they just recall phone contact. that message 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 even goes to someone yourself, but it doesn't mean that it's no big deal. of being coasted 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
4:46 pm
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 that control and stop searching for go. or maybe it's time to have a chat with an old friend and let it all out. ringback
4:47 pm
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 were 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, a big spread, take the others came up with the idea. she's researching how to make bread and other big goods without another. at unix technical university, the 3 d printer, she says, can add unique textures and sensations. an
4:48 pm
infrared beam is used to stabilize the bread. and while the 3 d printer may look like a pro blending on mars, it enables an infinite number of shapes and skips several steps in the baking process. to kind of find out how we can free i'll cells 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 is that software being able to create nearly any design is just one of the many advantages within like a full set of 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 to slice that product after. ready beakers can not only pick the shape,
4:49 pm
but also the contents wheat starch, and so a protein have proven to be the best toner, the do, 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 with less solved i'll be happy to understand. 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, which creates the same salty taste when i eat the bread. even though there is less altima of adults and a bit of shipping. so 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 minerals trace elements and vitamins might not be far behind. a 3
4:50 pm
d printer could potentially offer individual personalized nutrition till this kind of a consolidate with theoretically, we can use the 3 d printed to make fate. goods with additives that we select as long as the da is able to be printed, he presented the recipes for various nutritional profiles that 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 murky, are and mark year a new, a high support in process can transfer all the details of real locations into the matter of verse, allowing us to visit places virtually that no longer exist the
4:51 pm
the container city in stuttgart, germany, an actual place that has a say in whether one of the major digital trends of the future will become reality . some people say the men of verse will only be virtual, but one day, this lecture home will be native come and build their virtual students. what they learned together is really the met of us. that's supposed either lucian, of the internet, expensive ads tell us that the many of us will be a limitless virtual space where our digital identities will live, communicate, and work the contain and city, instruct god as 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 template for solving
4:52 pm
teams. and so 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. if it's over fet programs, it to shoot the buildings in the container. city from specific heights and angles become this of a not today, 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 quick k connecting digital information on the entire assign, each with as little efforts and equipment as possible. the executive officer of assume the containing city will be dismantled. but the awesome cultural center with that small studios practice readings and stages will continue on virtually. and
4:53 pm
default 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 20 a containers from the sites into the virtual world will take a lot of time several months. in fact maximilian, sheila is part of the team. he's working to make it possible to move factually throughout the entire container. stations. concepts that gives us an attorneys toys . 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. the challenge is how to get it small enough so that it can be viewed on every device. on all of the, our guy goes on a smartphone or on a normal computer who can kind of just how intricate the real world is becomes
4:54 pm
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 unique that fights the motivation is to make it as detailed as possible to reconstruct the feelings of having really been there. you and that's what makes it difficult. does the little details that you tried to show then require you to carefully scan them in all directions in school? fast stan animation and did use at 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 actual properties. especially as far from one of the projects.
4:55 pm
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 places, also functioning in the virtual world disability. 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 route. what will be possible in the future can be seen in the fast digital version of the ball and stay during the visit to the 1970s will remain intact. and every visitor can delve into
4:56 pm
a world full of all culture and communication that no longer exists in the real well the, this unique place will disappear in a few months. the container city in northern still got to can then a may be experienced virtually that with this week's tomorrow today, science magazine by dw, see you next time. and until then, keep on wondering, the, the, the
4:57 pm
4:58 pm
goes beyond the jargon and helps us better understand what's really causing the powerful to accounts. getting to the through the complex of o d w. so many portion of lots of turn out in the world right now, climate change. the story. this is much less the way from just one we how much was going to really get we still have time to act. i'm going to subscribe it for moving. it's like the some people don't care about me because they don't see my beauty.
