12:30 pm
of course, they known as between arrows, digital, gold, diggers, investors from all the moving to last in america in such a bitcoin treasure, no way is the cryptic currency valued more highly than here. but for many, the frenzy ends in ruin. fitz cohen in latin america starts november 8th on d, w. the is this arch? as long as the human created the work, an artist? that question can be answered pretty easily. yes. but what about the works generated by machines? buying artificial intelligence of that and much more this week on dw science show. welcome to tomorrow. today
12:31 pm
these 2 man all creating a work of on one come on the time and i think chica, i'm stuff on my a all the q races 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 of for the exhibition 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, if we fed come out and solve the problem, it's into the text image generator describing image of the questions, often just a few words and especially when the generated images arrived, we edited them before or sometimes just took unless they were tom. what else from device optics off? the exhibition cause hosted by museums into towns and central gemini,
12:32 pm
highlights the range of images in a i can create when given just a few problems. it can imitate styles of painting techniques. the instance old provide an alternative take on old legends and fairy tales as almost as those kinds of forced. and it's a bit similar to how artworks were commissioned back in the old days. and i couldn't if an artist was asked to paint a picture for an aristocrat and 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, i might end up paying sherwood rework it, and so the whole thing is shaped by the tastes of the client to 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 awesome 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
12:33 pm
a lot of include studies. ok means designing something, creating something new noise then. well this is not copying and pasting cause the finish. these are new creations. so this is odd 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 i can create an agenda, comprehensive realities. at the university of munich beyond alma and his team have developed to text the image generation called stable diffusion. the a i would said images for weeks in order to train it to come to this one. how is alison, introduce them up kind of computer is done by nature and has no concept of our world as a whole to 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 and you start by taking a picture and then adding a little bit of noise to the picture itself and repeating that process thousands of
12:34 pm
times. so this i'm in india and there's nothing left but noise and it looks like when you pull the antenna cable out of your tv and found 0 doesn't have a copy of it. so what would happen when done would be 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 inserts of unlike many programs, launched by launch companies beyond almost a model is open source. this means the source codes are available to anyone online and can be free developed. does he have us or does this go until now? a i process is, were largely run by large commercial companies, completely behind closed doors and with stable diffusion. you can see what's gone into what i was thinking of. i find the problematic when the 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
12:35 pm
interested in getting the research community back in the game to democratize the development process and the technology that's important for everyone in them and victims puts those things up for our listing and take some of the developers have come in to criticize them. since the wide spread launch of ally 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 the generative a i to become a better to. but the machine should always do what i want it to do is that. so i see creativity still lying with humans in the future. i'm so comfortable, i mentioned the concepts of a i us in creativity also have far reaching consequences from a legal perspective, copyrights of valuable assets. awesome. so you don't want that. what to use to train a. i can expressly submit it from an legal point of view. however,
12:36 pm
this is ebony, one aspect of a multi faceted issue you're tied face predicts the rise of a completely new field of low, especially since it is a broad consensus, i think everyone in the field agrees by now that the image is created by generative, i honestly not protected by copyright, so in terms of what it is, and that was, that's protected by copyright needs to have come from human tre activity. 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, and then not just changing a few colors or adding an account or something. and that wouldn't be enough for the one thing that has everyone concerned whether developed his lawyer is creatives. old curators 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
12:37 pm
one in december. now, is that in december we were still 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 itself is a bar one's the better in a i get how you view it and the more it learns from its own words, i can examine 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 just store a bank. so as a society, we definitely have to ask ourselves if and how do we want to deal with that one? that's because there's health of unified august in the game that i'm at. pressing questions like that, need to be understood and then not all 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
12:38 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 cameras go off all the ones. there's set up so that every point on calculating v, like spotty, is photographed at least twice. colleen english is a researcher at the entered disciplinary institute for human computer media at the university of rhodes book. together with mock ever should act or shape she wants to
12:39 pm
find out whether virtual reality can be used in the treatment of 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 there's virtual avatar as its own body. one can be a, there's not to now we can change this virtual body that has been except to see this anytime i hope that changing the body, but truly also has a psychological effect in the re 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
12:40 pm
a kind of heavy feeling. i'm spirit. let's go through some of this stuff. asked mike, 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 risk. yes. oh, i'm good on couple of quick the idea is 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 realize 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
12:41 pm
254 or 6 weeks. if you keep going, then it hasn't most of aging effects. well, that's what we hope anyway, in fights, 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 are 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
12:42 pm
likely to get away with it. most break ins remain unsolved. it's a major problem for society. the courts and the police researchers at the max tank institute for this study of crime, security and law in 5 book, or on the case. the team here as recreated streets and the entire neighborhoods on the computer 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 prospective crime scene? the tracking system records the subjects head and i'm movements providing data on how law abiding citizens act in the virtual neighborhoods. the
12:43 pm
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 a trip to a nearby prison the . and while the scientist is still going through all the necessary security measures, a guard sports, 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 max planck 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 act was to the events of you and the current
12:44 pm
study. we're looking at the extent to which this method is even applicable in the mid to the and what difference is the rob between this population to see this on the population that's not currently in cost today to get to the present. and you're saying this is the output finance. at the end of the day, we want to know whether this emotion in virtual reality is influenced by the experience of imprisonment. so i was led to relatively good way to gain access to this expert knowledge. this alonso come the 1st results show how the virtual world works interact much as they would in a real environment. the project is the brainchild that is on the we've on delta, the director of the max planck institute and fi. bog has been using virtual techniques for over 10 years to study crime as
12:45 pm
a researcher and are simply not there when criminals operate. and what it effectively means is that from a lot 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 immersed 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 tool that yeah, it works for, for i think, 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, acton 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
12:46 pm
burglars behaves. the audio and visual this pay attention to potential get away with us for example, or how they can use it and objects to reach windows, which seem to get interested in that that's 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 couldn't meet even either. 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 deploy a virtual reality technology to study criminal behavior. and their results could be useful predictive tools and places or break and continue to rise. 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,
12:47 pm
a little antique of stroll through a forest with the help of a b r. headset. studies have shown that spending time in nature helps relieve stress, even virtual nature, the weather in the field, over 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
12:48 pm
from totally refreshed to super stretched then 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? or i'm sometimes like if it's difficult, if i keep finding of the study was that the men who walked around the cities felt a bit more stressed afterwards. those one for a walk in the forest much but see here in the study went even further,
12:49 pm
women looked at the men's photos. they weren't told about the walks did. they noticed that some of the faces looked more stressed at times and others more rested . the 1st man 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 and much more stressed after a walk around the city. the women confirmed with the men experienced and sponsor 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
12:50 pm
food, water, and shelter. for fish is nature has a positive connotation for us and up to the end of nature, we experience positive feelings with positive emotions. what could 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 in everyday life for you. and as long as the natural surroundings aren't dangerous, huffmans, why do you not twenties, but which 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, hard to raise 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,
12:51 pm
best, etc. so which ultimately suggests that digital environments can offer a stress reduction and recreation to be can, can 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, were attentive in a different way, not goal oriented, more effortless. the brain benefits from that. let me just a few have them 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 under right to the attention. we experience this fascination of the 2. and then we can re focus our attention again at all. and at the end of the day, our research shows the nature does that for us, real nature, as well as virtual nature, the to and to opening nature has
12:52 pm
a positive effect on us. even if we're not out in nature ourselves. 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 we're able to go home a day earlier. the now does that gives us with the the result means that just looking at nature or images of nature, it can have a healing effect on us. mentioned home from an intact and act the environment is good for our health. perhaps that will motivate us to protect it more it's all right. and now over to you got
12:53 pm
a science question of your own. send it in as a video, 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 times? folk is nothing more than a cloud floating close to the surface of the the 3rd to form. the at either has to grow cooler or moist. when the water, the vapor in air reaches a critical point, it starts to condense. the resulting voltage drop clips reflect the light and blanket the landscape, the that visible vapor qualifies as folk when it
12:54 pm
reduces visibility to less than one kilometer. the at can of salt differing amounts of water vapor. the wilmer it is the more moisture it can absorb, the wave looks the same, but it can come about for a range of different reasons. it often forms in valleys, for example, because the ground back cools down quickly, that by lowering the temperature of the ad directly above it. and because that cold air can hold less moisture, the water vapor and it condenses into droplets, over lakes and rivers. volta evaporating from the surface into the coal 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 will masses of air collide and mix the the boom, moist cools down,
12:55 pm
condensing its vapor into folk. something similar happens when you moist boom brett hits cold at. another types of folk can be witnessed in mountains when human, the rides is up the side of a mountain of pressure and temperature, though strong. at some point, it's voltage vapor, condenses, leading to the formation of what's called mountain folk. the by the way. we're now also on tip top shape. 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
12:56 pm
. and that's all this week from tomorrow. today, the science show on dw, thanks for joining us and see you again next time, bye for now the, [000:00:00;00] the or
