2:31 am
almost reaching a record high. recently, reminiscence from the united states don't get mexicans as far as these i'm chris kolber. welcome to the program. the united auto workers union says a strike action currently heading, selective plans of the droids, big 3 car makers could be extended as talks don't produce meaningful progress. by the end of this week, the walk outs are playing out over bigger pay less hours and a $2.00 tiered weight system. but the stakes in this dispute are much higher. for the 1st time, the united auto workers are striking at the same time at all of the big 3 used car makers, union presidents on st called for a work stoppage last week. as an agreement on new contracts couldn't be reached. workers are demanding a 40 percent pay rise because these companies have made a quarter of it for in dollars in the last 10 years 20. busy $1000000000.00 in the
2:32 am
last 6 months alone in our workers, wages and conditions of went backwards. the average wage of production line workers has decline 30 percent of the last 2 decades. but the timing of the strike couldn't be worse for the industry. the sector is transforming as a pivots to making electric vehicles. that means fewer workers may be needed. battery powered cop production is highly automated. our industry executives are feeling the pressure. i'm not motivated by money. i'm motivated by my grandfathers now. we're a little worker about growing the company, everyone prospering from that. and that means our hourly team deserves to have that kind of benefit. 40 percent would put us out of business. the most powerful politician in the country, you as president, find facts, the workers on the street. she says, car makers have reached big prophets and they need to share them with workers. you use re, standards across the workplace is an entire industries pushing up wages and strength
2:33 am
of the benefits for everyone strikes as dragging down car maker inventories every day, and that will hurt their bottom lines. all right, let's get the latest from dw special correspondent abraham in washington. i have the auto workers union just threatening to extend the strike to more plans. is that likely to energize the talks? well, the really the so far what they have been trying is targeted, limited a strikes at the 3 main, a automobile manufacturers here in the united states, the gm ford and still lantus. and so for that has not really, according, even as we saw on the report and has not really gotten them the results that they have been hoping for. and now there's this looming deadline at noon this friday.
2:34 am
the the union leaders have made that if you know their demands are not met or that there is no progress in the negotiations that more and more workers will be going on strike. i mean, we're talking about 13000 unionized workers that are currently on stripe. that is still very much a drop in the bucket of unionized workers at these uh, auto, an automobile industry. and so what the union workers are doing so far is just giving a, you know, the automobile bosses a glimpse of what it's like to go a for them to, to go on strike and what kind of impact that would have on their businesses. but we also have to look that there's still a huge difference in opinions and demands. i mean, so far, the unions, 146 percent increase in pay over the next 4 years. and what uh, auto. um it will buy the automobile. a bosses have offered is 20 percent. so the
2:35 am
gap is really, really huge. it's hard to see how that gap can be breached by friday. and president biden, you know, anticipating perhaps what the impact of the striped b has said that he will send a acting lever secretary to detroit to offer help in mediating reaching an agreement. so this is really a, you know, reaching very high levels here in the united states. i briefly, if you would, uh, how big a hit uh is the us economy likely to take from these walk out. so janet yellen, the, the, the secretary of the treasury has recently said that it is too early to tell what the impact on the economy could be. an expert said that the impact is, you know, unlikely to push the country into a recession or anything of that sort. and that's because, you know, the, the percentage of unionized worker in that industry this, it's big, it's large,
2:36 am
but it doesn't represent a huge number when it comes to the national labor percentage just as it perhaps used to in the past. with that being said, there are some estimates about how much this if everyone goes on strike for 10 days, there are some estimates that that could cost the us economy up to $5000000000.00, dw special correspondent, i ever human washington. i think and you can find more on the auto worker strike on our website at www dot com. of course it is to ukraine. now we're just taking a dispute with some of its neighboring countries to the world trade organization after poland, slovak in hungary, imposed bands on ukrainian agricultural goods. the embargoes are a reaction to the commission, lifting temporary import restrictions on ukrainian gray being shipped via its neighboring countries, metro support prices and pacify local farmers. of these bulgarians farmers
2:37 am
ugly. so they are blocking long distance roads to protest against the lifting of a ban on ukrainian green in ports. yes, this is about the livelihoods, the farmers fear, the cheaper grain from ukraine will make their products less competitive. i won't go far. i put a deuce green crops and everything i can produce this. the other 2 is in my warehouse because i don't ship anywhere to sell the day that us in the these filters here. they say, we don't want to, we don't search for it. we don't want to buy it and so on, and that's why we don't care. the european commission defends its decision to lift import restrictions on ukrainian green products to poland, bulgaria, hungary, romania and slovakia. a measure that protected the markets in those countries. now some of them, including hungary and poland, defying the ease you by banning you communion green in ports. the fact that any member country, i'm not judging one member country,
2:38 am
but any member country takes you know that to action for a sick thing. what these extra to the single market seems to me something that these out of the low but is to the commission to judge gary and farmer is also protesting and demanding that their country continue to ban ukrainian grain products. that was left ukraine with no choice, but to file a complaint with the world trade organization against the e. u. countries that continue to band is green exports right now to some of the other global business stories making news. the world economy is expected to grow 3 percent this year and 2.7 percent next year. that's according to the latest forecast of the organization for economic cooperation and development. yours, industrial power has germany, isn't expected to fair that well, the always to dc use it's v p shrink by 0.2 percent, recommending structural reforms for the country to prevent further problems. online platform x, formerly known as twitter, could introduce

2:40 am
every month. it's less and less money for stella. the 45 year old domestic worker, supplemental wages with the money her us base, some sense her. but the dollars are always worth less. the mexican peso is up 14 percent against the greenback this year. it's one of the world's best performing currencies. but the strong paste so is hurting those. rely on remittances. people. i guess stella of the, the men busy the phone if they sent us $200.00, it was enough to get to lots of things for us. now we come by 25 percent less with that. the dollar has gone down a lot. it's affected me a lot because before i could afford to pay for a big apartment, and now i've had to move an estimated 11000000 families in mexico receive
2:41 am
remittance is from relatives abroad. rising remittances and attractive interest rate differential and higher form direct investments have led to what some of calling the super pay. so while mexico central bank has been hiking, borrowing rates to curb inflation, that goal was only reached in the last 2 months. as economist carlos co pay though, observes uncomfortable committee. this, by putting the measures taken by the bank of mexico to slow down the mexican economy through monetary policy and raising interest rates have not been as effective as they would've liked, containing economic activity means less employment, less income and less investment in looking play or significant mammals think of it as well seem to come and looking back here. despite the strong pay so exports of growing there rose 3 percent in july, things to sustain demand from the us market. the strong currency benefits mexican
2:42 am
importers, and the government, but not ordinary mexicans. but the situation could change the pace or is expected to depreciate against the daughter in the coming year. and that without sharp re balance, according to economists like james salazar like that's what i see under the newport by the end of the year. inflation could be around 4.64.7 percent, and it's very likely the end of the bank of mexico one no longer raised the interest rate. maybe even lower aid, the market is currently bidding that the rate will be lowered by the 2nd quarter of 2024. thank that would be welcome news for ordinary consumers. cheap, a borrowing rates would benefit them more and that wraps up our shop press. colburn berlin, thanks for watching. every successful, the

around the world more than 150000000 people are we of mine because no one should have to make up your own mind dw, may for mine's the have you ever dreamt of pumping up your brain power from improving your memory to speaking more languages? a computer chip in the brain is no longer a distance, so i fly drain. and it could actually be a game changer for people with disabilities. just recently, a paraplegic man was able to walk again with help from brain implants and some chips these days even contain human brain cells. and you know, i chips and the brain that's out topic on shift the
2:45 am
us tech to us in a long mosque once to optimize our brains with his start off your link. the company's already made a name for itself through spectacular experiments on animals. and now you're link has received approval to start clinical trials on humans and in switzerland that scientists have helped. a paraplegic man woke again using brain implants and a lot take a look. his life has been altered dramatically for the 2nd time. thanks to an experimental procedure, linking the brain to the spine with a digital bridge, a paralyzed man is able to walk again. within 5 to 10 minutes, i could control my hips. the brain i went picked up what i was doing with my head so that was like, yeah, the best outcome. i think for everyone after an accident in 2011,
2:46 am
get you on os gum was paralyzed in both legs. doctors operated to implant electro. it's in the 40 year old sprain and spine there is one surgery and the level of the brain. we do to really find the item. you put the electrodes in order to record the brain cigna and another surgery at the level of the spinal cord where we put electrodes on the top of the spice called the place that is responsible for the leg movement. so between these 2, there is communication and the electrical communication digital bridge that is then reactivated the flex. it's pretty not to say just half of this technology has come a brian computer interface or basically your allows people to communicate with an external machine simply by using their own thoughts, your link, apple and google, old developing this technology, the currently the strategy and start up sink chrome is leading the rice, the already people living with the companies base the implants in australia and the
2:47 am
us sending an email using thought so loud. phillip or key peasant nervous system disease known as a less and can't use those hands or speak clearly. a brain computer interface gives them a way to communicate previously to communicate with a new stop, voices or a hands. and now there's an opportunity where if you, if you don't have control over either, you can still communicate. you can use assigned to send text messages. you can use an email to send, you know, stories old letters to loved ones. this 1012, it was 1st and planted in a human and 2019 stench road is transported to the brain through blood vessels. which means open brain surgery is not required. the central gene ation that unlike a lot of other technologies as takes advantage of the naturally occurring highway
2:48 am
of the body, those blood vessels to, to get into the brain without having to do really risky, invasive surgery. the standard captures brain signals and transmits them through the blood vessels into a unit implanted in a patients chest. this unit has been since the electrical signals to a computer or other device. so the system looks at the activity and the electrical activity um it has a database of, i'm kind of prerecorded movements that the patient has been trained to and activate and that system has been trained to recognize. and essentially, if it see something the patient is intending to do, like a specific movement, it will then send a kind of an output to posts, which can be used to activate a computer control or else i'm something like a, the next exoskeleton thing. cons technology is still in the trial phase, but there weren't gifts, how to people with paralysis or other disabilities. brain computer interfaces could
2:49 am
also be used by people without physical disabilities. 8 on must cause predicted the one day we could be controlling as smartphones with devices in our brains. well, think cause work focuses on developing base us for medical use. this technology could also be applied to many other areas using our smartphones without even touching them. with a brain computer interface, this could some day be a reality for everyone. the a lot of people who don't have any disability interested in using devices like us to connect with this computers or connect with the home environment. um, yeah, certainly that's no more where we're doing, we're doing it says medical benefits. there's no reason to think this technology won't be adapted and adopted by, by other companies who are making it for that purpose. this technology could have
2:50 am
many applications because they could control more than just computers. essentially everything and anything, anything electronic at all. i'm currently, we're using it too and kind of unable to patients to use a communication device. but this could also be put towards something like a smart home systems if you wanted to turn on your, your lights them, or if you needed to control or wheelchair or other kind of assistive technologies. while some dream of using brain computer interfaces for human augmentation. st. crowns solely focuses on medical applications, and there was much to be explored in the field. so far, the student wrote is only recording signals from the brain. but what else to devise and signals into the brain? if you put stimulation or electrical current into the brain, you can prevent things like stages or, or trim is. and so, you know, that's obviously a application for us. we can get to almost any region. this is brian through the
2:51 am
blood vessels. and so it's not unrealistic. to think that we can record when a seizure might happen, for example, and then provide stimulation to stuff. but detecting and helping treat neurological disorders could be just one of many ways. spring computer interfaces might be used in the future. the computer chips are use in a variety of technologies such as virtual reality or artificial intelligence needs to be quick and ideally used as little energy as possible cortical labs. a start up from the open model. it's chips on the fastest and most energy efficient computer out there. the human brain, the system is called dish brian and combines silicon chips with human. your owns a computer chip that needs to be fed with unusual sustenance. the dish brain receives human brain so. so this chip is somewhat a life that's certainly a life in the sense that these are living by logical neurons on the chest. that
2:52 am
doesn't mean of close at that conscious of like a human images. but it does mean that we can use and to be able to test the stuff like the effects of drugs might have on them or model how diseases. unlike other companies that try to recreate neural networks cortical allowed to use is real human brain cells. these can be made from a simple blood donation. the neurons are placed on a fingertip size micro electro to ray that can send and receive electrical impulses the to test the dish, brains ability to learn the team use the classic video game. pop. a paddle needs to be moved up and down in order to hit a ball. this spring was taught with electrical impulses. cortical labs wants to develop the next generation of a i checked by creating what they call synthetic biological intelligence. just like our brain, the dish brain is extremely energy efficient and can react very quickly. and that's
2:53 am
thanks to absolution. the usa, a hunt together in the savannah and you saw a tiger or a line in the, in the bush. you would have only 2 seconds to make a decision to either fight off or run from this animal. and so if you didn't, you would be eliminated from the gene pool. uh and so as a result of that, we just evolve to be very good at process information at very short periods of time . hybrid biological chips could be a more sustainable and efficient solution in field such as robotics. but they could also be useful when testing new drugs so if you have something in a, in detroit or an edition model and you can actually test it out before you put it into human and have it increase chance of success. i think this is going to be
2:54 am
a game changer from industry to ship that learns fast and as energy efficient cortical labs hopes, dish brain will mark the beginning of a chip revolution. for a long time, the tech industry has tried copying human intelligence to develop artificial intelligence. machines that can think and act like us. cortical labs has a different approach. this brain uses the advantages of biological intelligence over a lie. there are some 86000000000 neurons in the human brain. whenever we learn something new, they automatically connect with each other and build neural pathways in a fast, an energy efficient way. cortical lab says they're hybrid biological chips do the same. they're highly adaptable, able to align with minimal power consumption and can do it with relatively few samples, especially compared to machine learning are artificial intelligence. well,
2:55 am
artificial systems need to be trained with large sets of data. biological systems don't. this means they are more sample efficient. what sample efficiency is, is how much information does a system either an artificial intelligence, as in boy, a biological intelligence system require in order to learn from and make intelligent tasks funded. and so these biological systems have been showing to actually have significantly higher efficiency that by requiring less data over millions of years, our brains learn to react to an ever changing environment. so just like us, the just brain is more adaptable than artificial intelligence. with the test flows, taking it from playing phone to playing another game. and i've actually seen that in incredible time how the system in taps and changes its behavior. so this new game in just a few minutes is more limited in that regard. through the time consuming process of
2:56 am
machine learning, it is programs for specific tasks. the dish brain, however, could easily be used for a variety of applications. many people are fearful that artificial intelligence could become too intelligent and powerful. but if it has the potential to improve allies, that's a positive thing, right? for me, the prospect of helping people with neurological disability is especially with while it could have made life a lot easier for both my dad and my grandma. so what's your take? would you want to put a chip into your brain? to be honest, i'm excited to say what comes next? thanks for watching. and see you next on the
