12:30 pm
to become a criminal pretty kind, i already told you about sugars paralyzed tire societies, computers that are governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work. that's how they can also watch it. now, the artificial intelligence seems capable of anything that can right 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
12:31 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 a noses. 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 guy. yeah. first of all, yeah, i 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
12:32 pm
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. uncontrolled servers, the system rejects offensive image ideas. for example, would celebrities free a i program? so on the other hand, run on private computers, there are no content restrictions. the cloud solution providing to a certain level of control. when kind of, you can definitely prevent specific prompts and certain types of queries. that's what's done. for example, in check g p cheese text 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,
12:33 pm
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. the image just generated by the i end up looking deceptively real. legally . this is a gray area. let's keep that all ready legal regulations, an 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,
12:34 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 poor team with a piece of stuff 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 just 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 it was after all, the new
12:35 pm
a technology used sensitively has many good and also acetic possibilities of friend charged. for example, came up with this time travel through 100 years of fashion. the. 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 dolly or wants to find out 1st hand. at the university of geneva, scientists want to use artificial intelligence to transcribe off courts into spoken language. it sounds like science fiction,
12:36 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 scientists are looking for answers. they want to join the largest societal debate before science. fiction becomes reality. do you have any question? yes, i did. first, i have to find out what's already possible. can computers 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 similar to telling me
12:37 pm
more about the experiments we're going to do with me, we try to decode, when the people imagine pronouncing, in this case one of 2 syllables. so it's about the coding speech. and the, to my 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 narrowed you for these orders. 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 a good one. to know the says the system read.
12:38 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 full and get the full 4 full, full, full volt. so we do this for 5 seconds. it continues me keeping the same pace relaxed. d, d, g, g. okay, okay, but i don't pronounce redone, pronounced. so you think about saying these words is the syllables, but you don't pronounce them. it's really the mental thing. okay,
12:39 pm
so are you ready to start? mm hm. perfect. the iris sign the syllables in my mind over and over the pottery symbol shows the 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 younique's strokes his brain looked like. at the end of march. they measured the electrical current in his brain. the 1st month has epilepsy, which what we surgically treated they put $200.00 electrodes into his brain.
12:40 pm
he seemed to 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 thoughts 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 cross section of a particular brain region. 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 the 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 know steve, the computer with my thoughts if it does actually work the battery symbol,
12:41 pm
stock 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 in the message. so fast and yet 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 a computer, don't come on. how long before i can read all of my thoughts and in the end, lead to read why? so many questions. maybe you have one about the world of science to,
12:42 pm
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, immune known universe. it still remains a mystery to science. a cross section shows the brain consists of the cerebrum and up 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,
12:43 pm
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. to discover your 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 grey matter of the cerebral cortex . researchers at the national institute of mental health in but says dom, maryland in the us, conducted brain scans on almost $1000.00 subjects. both men and women. v examines
12:44 pm
the brain structure and activities and compared the volume in different areas of this, a 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 green 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 carry no 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.
12:45 pm
but how do you tell them? some people don't need time to think about it. they just branch off on contract. 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 friends. maybe you've even ghosted 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 also selves what happened and imagine the worst less blood flows to the brain's prefrontal cortex. and
12:46 pm
since that flare rational thought takes place, we might have trouble thinking clearly operating perceives this kind of uncertainty is a threat and start 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 less and not trust enough of the pain is real. how about pampering yourself instead? move around a lot and get some good sleep. all those little things help you gain that control and stop searching for gums. and maybe it's time to have a chat with an old friend and let an old. ringback
12:47 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 bread, 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 spread take the others came up with the idea she's researching how to make bread and other big goods without an oven. at unix technical university, the 3 d printer, she says, can add unique textures and sensations and
12:48 pm
infrared beam is used to stabilize the bread. and while the 3 d printer may look like a probe landing on mars, it enables an incident 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 just just one of the many advantages. within bucketfuls, the thinking process itself is a bit random like from structure or how the pores are distributed in the do. baker's 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. ready beakers can not only pick the shape,
12:49 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. 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 in the bread which treats the same salty taste when i eat the bread. even though there is less altima of adults and method of shipping uh, kind of traditional wheat flour doesnt 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
12:50 pm
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 with theoretically, we can use the 3 d printer to make bait goods with additives that we select as long as the dough is able to be printed because of the recipes for various nutritional profiles. i 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 any time soon. i on the borders between virtual reality and the real world are getting murky, are and murky, or a new a high support in process can transfer all the details of real locations into the matter of verse,
12:51 pm
allowing us to visit places virtually that no longer exist the 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 mid verse will only be virtual, but one day this lecture home will be native code and build their virtual students, what they learned together the story of the mess of us, the supposed solution of the internet, expensive ads tell us that the many of us will be a limitless virtual space where our digital identities with live communicates and walk the contain and city instruct got as still far away from the math 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
12:52 pm
teams ends up in this is a tablet with a different sensor. so can, you can use it to quickly make a 3 d model from the preview of a 3 dimensional object into the lynch also uses a drone difference over fet programs that to shoot the buildings in the container 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 entire assign it 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 it. small studios practice readings and stages will continue on virtually. and default goes to plan
12:53 pm
will move into the method of us. the and initial digital model is being created from the photos and 3 d data. moving on the 20 a containers from the sites. and so 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 facing concept that he has 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. the challenge is how to get it small enough so that it can be viewed on every device on all of your goggles, on a smart phone or on a normal computer. it's just how intricate the real world is becomes
12:54 pm
apparent when working inside container city small barn stage is 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 reconstructs of the animation institution the film academy and new textbook, germany plays a key role in making interactive rooms. how's the data? the digital objects have to be movable in the virtual world without losing the actual properties. i think especially because for some, one of the projects, most important research topics is the ability to separate individuals, objects from a big scan so that you can move a chair, for example. so that's basically an example of how the future in the metaphors will
12:55 pm
make it possible to find the real world virtually whether or not vanessa this 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 fine 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 dove into a world full of all the culture and communication that no longer exists. in the real well the, this unique place will disappear in
