10:30 pm
oh, when we say they're about never getting up every weekend on d w. the is this arch as long as a human created the work, an artist that question can be answered pretty easily. yes. but what about works generated by machines? buying artificial intelligence that and much more this week on dw science show. welcome to tomorrow. today
10:31 pm
these 2 men all creating a work of on one come on at a time and i think chica, i'm stuff on my a all the curation is of germany's 1st a i generated exhibition. when the takes to image generate to mid jenny became available in late 2022. they came up with the idea for the exhibitions. alice clinton's for everything has on the 101 and it's on when creating the images. we basically did nothing more than what anyone can do at home on their own computer. yeah, we fed combines all problems into the text image generator describing image requesting awesome. just a few words, especially when the generated images arrived. we edited them before or sometimes just took unless they were tom what else from guys off the floor. now? the exhibition cause hosted by museums into towns and central gemini, highlights the range of images in a i can create when given just
10:32 pm
a few problems. it can imitate styles of painting techniques. the instance old provide an alternative take on old legends and fairy tales as it almost has those kinds of forced. and it's a bit similar to how artworks were commissioned back in the old days. and they couldn't, if an artist was asked to paint a picture for an aristocrat, they would 1st do a sketch and asked me for good side. and then the client might say they might, they'd also like to have their dog next to the hunting lodge. and then have to the end, the painter would rework it. and so the whole thing is shaped by the tastes of the client will know from them. i'll talk to you about of the 2 rates as one of the expedition to showcase the possibilities of a i generated images while exploring the concepts of austin creative a t. then michael ducklings advice mentioned yourself and if you understand or something human maze kind of then of course it's not on a lot of including photo ok means designing something, creating something new noise then. well,
10:33 pm
this is not copying and pasting cause to finish these a new creation. so this is odd, it's, and the artist is the i the construct, if the car just a few short years ago a, i could only perform highly specific tasks. now it's generative, which means that can create an agenda, comprehensive realities. at the university of munich beyond alma and his team have developed to text to image generation, i called stable to fusion. the a, i was fed images for weeks in order to train it. they're comfortable, but somehow is almost my traditional kind of computer is done by nature and has no concept of our world as a whole into scanning so, so it has to be shown lots of images during training and then just fill them into a representation or model of our reality when you start by taking a picture and then adding a little bit of noise to the picture itself and repeating that process thousands of times when a bit of an indian there's nothing less but noise and it looks like when you pull
10:34 pm
the antenna cable out of your tv and found 0 doesn't happen, combo good. so what happens when i'm done with the and then during the training phase, the model reverse is this process taking a noisy signal and making it to any successively less noisy down and learns to add the information back into the image. bit by bit on in switzer. unlike many programs, launched by launch companies. the, an almost a model is open source. this means the source codes are available to anyone online and can be free developed as a loss or does this clientele now a i process is were largely run by large come or so companies completely behind closed doors in the closet with stable diffusion. and you can see what's gone into what i was thinking of. i find the problematic when a technology that's potentially relevant for everyone isn't just a few people's hands. i can only be developed by them that's. that's why we were interested in getting the research community back in the game to democratize the
10:35 pm
development process and the technology that's important for everyone in them and victims put, says things up interesting tension model. the developers have come in to criticize them since the wide spread launch of alley programs, those paid subscription concepts and open source ones is generative a ongoing skill jumps and creative professions from i'm computer boxes that i expect a computer to be a tune and with generated a i to become a better to, but the machine should always do what i want it to do. so i see creativity still lying with humans in the future. i'm so comfortable, i mentioned the concepts of a i o as in creativity, also have far reaching consequences from a legal perspective, copyrights of valuable assets office. so you don't know what to use to train a. i can expressly submit it from a legal point of view. however, this is $71.00 aspect of
10:36 pm
a multi faceted issue. you have hydrolyzed predicts the rise of a completely new field of low. especially since y'all is a broad consensus, i think everyone in the field agrees by now that the image is created by generative i, i actually not protected by copyright. so in total, what is an invalid words that's protected by copyright needs to have come from human creativity. even if i take an image and edited substantially to create something new, then you might get copyright protection. but you'd have to do a lot of things to it. not just changing a few colors or adding a cat or something that wouldn't be a now. so that's the one thing that has everyone concerned whether developed as low as creative ok rate is, is the speed at which the technology is changing just a few months ago. a i generated images could be clearly identified that's already no longer the case one in december. now because that in december we were still
10:37 pm
saying it couldn't do hands very well. i was looking for some facial expressions all the time for 1000000, but that's no problem at all. now, i guess and don't forget that the technology is developing exponentially out of sight, which means and a i also learned from it sounds is a bar one's the veteran a i get how you view it and the more it learns from its own words, i can and they are going to them, the faster it gets, it learning shanella because there's so much computing power behind it by the progressive. and that can be a little disturbing on that. so some, as a society, we definitely have to ask ourselves if and how do we want to deal with that one? that's because they're soft of the inside of august in the game that i'm at. pressing questions like that need to be answered in the not old too distant future and not just in the field of aunt, after role ai is here to stay. but perhaps the marriage of an original
10:38 pm
works is exactly what we need to ensure that human art is still appreciated. the imaging has become a cornerstone of modern medicine. for decades. doctors have relied on ultrasound exams. x rays or computer tomography to examine and diagnose patients. now a new technology employ, virtual reality might help people with weight problems totally research. please put your arms out to the side. strike, oppose, look straight ahead and $321106.00 cameras go off all at once. they're set up so that every point on calculating v, like spotty, is photographed at least twice. coverline english is a researcher at the entry disciplinary institute for human computer media at the university of rhodes book. together with mach ever sure back to shape, she wants to find out whether virtual reality can be used in the treatment of
10:39 pm
obesity, patients using the photos. the software reconstructs the surface of her body within just a few minutes. the like this has been created using artificial intelligence and a little manual support. the trick is that the brain except this virtual avatar as its own body one can be a, is an act. so now we can change the spiritual body that has been accepted at any time. i hope that changing the body virtually also has a psychological effect in the real well. and since by the for example, we can make my body heavier. yeah, we can see that here simulated here. now when i see myself, i immediately have a kind of heavy feeling. i'm spirit. let's go through some of the stuff. asked mike,
10:40 pm
i'm the 1st time i did it. i really did move, more cumbersome, really should be all set to go. perfect. you do have the feeling that you are actually carrying. this weighs on your real body. jesus christ. yes. oh, i'm really on couple of quick the ideas that the ability to control and change of virtual body could help obesity patients to lose weight in real life. the virtual avatar could help patients to develop a more realistic image of their own bodies or help them stay motivated to lose weight. and do you mind when you really is that you've lost a few pounds and losing a few pounds? it's a lot of work like you don't feel a sense of achievement because you don't really notice it and one does push me out . but if you can visualize what it's like to leave, you say 10 to 20 kilos. when you can visualize exactly what that would look like in 254 or 6 weeks, if you keep going, then it hasn't most of aging effects. well,
10:41 pm
that's what we hope. anyway, insights the technology needs to be improved and made more reliable before it can be tested on patients. the team is working on an even more realistic representation of how the body changes as a result of weight loss or weight gain. entering a virtual world allows you to assume another identity. some let you fly around like superman or take a trip through the universe. criminal logistics are now using v on our to slip into the skin of a burglar. what does the fees look for when planning a break and gets a crime as old as time? according to statistics, around $180.00 homes are burglarized every day in germany. and the thieves are likely to get away with it. most break ins remain unsolved. it's
10:42 pm
a major problem for society. the courts and the police researchers at the max tank institute for the study of crime, security and law and 5 book, or on the case the team here as recreated streets and the entire neighborhoods on the computer. the volunteers are helping them test whether a new virtual reality approach to fight in crime might work the criminal logistics want to identify the criteria used by burglars to select their targets. what did they look for beforehand? how did they survey the perspective crime scene? a tracking system records, the subjects head and i movements providing data on how law abiding citizens act in the virtual neighborhoods. the comparison group in this project is made up of convicted criminals to work with them. don't mean to guess now it has to take
10:43 pm
a trip to a nearby prison the and while the scientist is still going through all the necessary security measures, a guard escorts, one of his test subjects to an examination room in total more than 60 prisoners serving sentences for breaking and entering have agreed to take part in the mux plunked institute research project. the convicted criminals will also explore the virtual residential areas. but as if they were planning a burglary. the idea is to filter out the specific behaviors exhibited by burglars . things they do, but non criminals don't dr. as to the uh, do you get some of you in the current study?
10:44 pm
we're looking at the extent to which the semester does even applicable to me to. and what difference is the rob between this population to see this on the population that's not currently in custody? give to the presentation. and just saying this is the output finance. at the end of the day, we want to know was that this emotion in virtual reality is influenced by the experience of imprisonment. the phone was on. it's a relatively good way to gain access to this expert knowledge. this alonso come the 1st results show how the virtual world works. the doors interact much as they would in a real environment. the project is the brainchild, are shown to leave and go to the director of the max punk institute and 5 book has been using virtual techniques for over 10 years to study crime as a researcher and are simply not there when criminals operate and what the
10:45 pm
effectively means is that from the just for years have studied something that they cannot see, which is very unique. and what we do it for, to reality is we, we recreate in a way a crime scene or we call a criminal jetpack situation. and then we can merced, people in that situation to see how to interact with that situation. so in a way, you could argue that for the 1st time, we can see crime in action. that makes it a very powerful to that. yeah, it works for pricing across to behavior on social sciences, but particularly for this type of behavior hidden behaviors. it's how it's how powerful observing how criminals act and, and virtual reality clearly provides better insights. and just interviewing them or having them fill out questionnaires. the mex punk researchers want to develop new ways to prevent break ends by detecting certain patterns and how burglars behaves the audio and visual. this pay attention to potential gateway routes for example,
10:46 pm
or how they can use it and objects to reach windows, which seem to get interested in that kind of residents look out onto the street site where the coolness of these costs are shown. that's what we can identify during the sessions with us could meet it. we can also use the design of this cultural environment to intervene in what's happening. i try to push those design these over to and then gave them the lab at the max conch institute. and 5 board is the 1st in the world to deployed virtual reality technology to study criminal behavior. and their results could be useful predictive tools, and places or break ins continued arise. knowing in advance how a burglar chooses the scene of a crime might one day help prevent them. in the 1st place, the time to relax, a little antique of stroll through a forest with the help of
10:47 pm
a b r. headset. studies have shown that spending time in nature helps relieve stress, even virtual nature, the weather in the field, or a forest in your garden or in a park. nature gives us the feeling that it's good for us. and studies show that people's moods actually improve experience in nature as a positive influence on our heart rate and blood pressure. but not everyone has their own garden for time, for long daily trips can even a short time in nature have a positive effect. a walk, for example, environmental psychologist, god visa began to study to find out 1st manifesto state of well being from totally refreshed to super stretched then
10:48 pm
a snapshot of their faces. afterwards, some of the participants went for a walk in the forest. and others strolled to the city of london for 20 minutes. after that, another snapshot and an assessment of their stress levels. the next day, the group switched places. the city walkers went through the forest and the forest walkers took to the city. how did the participants feel afterwards? which one of the 2 short walks reduce their stress levels? and sometimes i get the stuff to do. my key finding of the study was that the men who walked around the city sold a bit more stressed afterwards than those went for a walk in the forest much but see here in the study went even further, women looked at the men's photos. they weren't told about the walks did they
10:49 pm
noticed that some of the faces looked more stressed at times and others more rested the 1st band under stress or relax, pretty stressed. and the same man in the next photo, the more relaxed, the more relaxed races belonged to the men who walked through the woods. they came back much more stressed after a walk around the city. the women confirmed with the men experienced in funds the community. so a 20 minute walk in the forest or a nature is enough to experiencing nature. even for short periods really helps reduce stress and to foster relaxation to hold on to this or how does experiencing nature reduce stress? one explanation is the stress recovery theory. humans have always been part of nature in our evolutionary history, nature has ensured our survival by providing food, water, and shelter. for fish is nature has a positive connotation for us,
10:50 pm
and up to the end of nature, we experience positive feelings with positive emotions. and ultimately of these positive feelings. according to the theory lead to relaxation and stress reduction . of course, this only applies to places where you don't work in nature or it's everyday life for you. and as long as the natural surroundings aren't dangerous huffmans, why do you not twenties? but the voice is what helping you benefit if you just don't have time to walk around the park for 20 minutes or are too sick to even leave the apartment. is it possible to relax and an artificial landscape? yeah. how did they use a research that to some study, participants moved around in a virtual forest. the others walked through a real one. all of them, the virtual and the real forest walkers felt more relaxed afterwards for us it's and it's that which ultimately suggests that digital environments can offer
10:51 pm
a stress reduction and recreation to be can from one explanation, the theory of a tension restoration in everyday life. we are constantly attentive, always oriented towards a goal. our brain cannot provide this goal oriented attention forever. at some point, we get exhausted in nature, we're attentive in a different way, not goal oriented, more effortless, the brain benefits from that. and then the physical food have him and then a to, to see if an item's on the scene vixen them. when nature makes us feel like we're a little bit away from it all, then we have this fun directed attention. we experienced this fascination up to and then we can re focus our attention again. and at the end of the day, our research shows the nature does that for us, the real nature as well as virtual nature and the other 2 and not to opening nature has a positive effect on us. even if we're not out in nature ourselves,
10:52 pm
we noticed that in another situation, when a person looks out a window in one hospital study, a group of patients looked at natural surroundings after surgery. the other group looked out at a brick wall. the nature watchers needed less pain killers, they were less likely to be disgruntled or distressed. they had a better overall chance of recovery than the brick wall people and were able to go home a day earlier. the does that give us with the, the result means that just looking at nature or images of nature can have a healing effect on us. i mentioned having an impact in next. well, environment is good for our health. perhaps that will motivate us to protect it more if i will let is read. why and now over to you. got a science question of your own. send it in as a video,
10:53 pm
text or voice mail. if we answer your query on the air, we'll send you a little surprised as a thank you. go on. just ask. thanks to debris and i'll be from bosnia and herzegovina for this question. what is folk, and how does it form the in simple terms? folk is nothing more than a cloud floating close to the surface of the the 3rd to form the at either has to go cooler, moist. when was the vapor in air reaches a critical point, it starts to condense. the resulting will to drop splits, reflect the light and blanket the landscape. the that visible vapor qualifies is folk when it reduces visibility to less than one kilometer.
10:54 pm
the egg can of salt, differing amounts of water vapor. the warmer it is, the more moisture it can absorb. the folk always looks the same, but it can come about for a range of different reasons. it often forms in valleys, for example, because the ground that cools down quickly, that by lowering the temperature of the ad directly above it. and because that cold air can hold less nice job, the water vapor and it condenses into droplets, over lakes and rivers. bullshit, evaporating from the surface into the cold that can raise humidity to the saturation point. and then it tends to be the grand banks of newfoundland and the north atlantic are considered the focus place on us as cold and well masses of air collide and mix the, the warm, moist and cools down,
10:55 pm
condensing its vapor into folk. something similar happens when you moist moving breath hits cold at another type of fog can be witnessed in mountains. when to me, the rides is up the side of a mountain, a pressure and temperature both strong. at some point, it's voltage vapor condenses, leading to the formation of what's called mountain folks, the by the way, we're now also on chip talk to her. and we'll take that there we answer your questions and clips that are fun, accurate, and to the points, but also based on the latest research, want to discover even more from the world of science. then follow us at dw science . and that's all this week from tomorrow. today, the science show on dw,
