thanks for watching time, melissa. chance the sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for. but we've got something for you on the long voyage through the ocean and mother, i'm back with account for a long time. they had to be humans on they journey but now the predators have to come there, protect the

ocean conservation september. the police robots patrolling your neighborhood equipped with weapons. if that's really what we want in many cities, robots already being useful security measures. and in some cases, that even debates on equipping robots with weapons, but what robots really make all the streets safer, either actually a security threat themselves and who can be held accountable if something goes wrong. the replacing police with robots looks like this. this bang for a button, the us clim drive explosives in his mouth. the robot was used to check whether he was telling the truth. another case, the robot doc spots patrol. this puck and singapore during the covert pandemic. it

made sure that everyone kept enough distance spots. cameras can also measure how full the park is visa to relatively typical use this for putting these robots. they collect the data like in single floor, and they are used to protect police, especially in extremely dangerous situations. police robots can disarm bombs, special sensors can detect dangerous chemicals or check for radioactive aviation microphones, lidar and infrared cameras, a lot of the police to get a sense of the pricing before entering it. this helps them to determine the best course of action advancements and hardware development. according to tongue estimate robots can take on more complex tasks. the engineer heads, telephone clears, robotics department, and then us, which manufacturers and security robots. if you look at computers, even just 10 years ago, right, we've got like 30 x increase in computation power as we had back down here. that

opens up a lot of possibilities. it's really proven ground robots up to a new level. robots, like the ones made by telecom unclear, are used by law enforcement agencies around the world. they can assist in hosted situations, this time bombs, and scan dangerous areas. more than 4000 robots of the pac about model alone have been sold. this highly immobile robot can climb stairs, maneuver difficult terrain, and move in tight spaces. the data collected by integrated cameras and sensors is processed in real time and shared with other police devices via the cloud. if you look at the commonality of data and data sharing, right? so now we're able to have a ground robots that you know, that talk to aerial assets and also provide a common operating picture for now, police robots still work in tandem with human colleagues. but machine learning could enable them to learn from their own experiences and take more task

independently. we're starting to see, you know, robots do. so those are thomas tests today for asian, for instance, but also through some threat identification autonomous robots aren't only being developed for police forces, but for security firms and services to this work can also be dangerous and monotonous in switzerland, robots of being tested and taking on these tufts, the machines have one advantage that can work 247 without getting tired of this robot is a guard on wheels with foldable legs. that doesn't seem phased by adverse working conditions. and it should ideally patrol large areas like this for yard. the developers of the swift start up acendo hope to fill a gap in the chronically understaffed security industry with their robot chose to go for the security market because there's a place where it's really difficult to find people nowadays to have to work long hours. and they have to work in every where conditions we did this job ourselves

and it's really purple. and we wanted to help there, and our robots are able to make the life of these cards a lot easier. the cost of a robot depends on many different factors, but according to a center, the costs are lower than employing a human garden in switzerland. a $360.00 degree camera allows the robot to get a full view of its surroundings. its thermal camera, it can detect humans and vehicles at night. a cloud based a guy processes the images in real time and generates a daily report. whether robots can stop criminal behavior remains to be seen. but this technology allows human employees in the control room to have eyes and ears in multiple places simultaneously. but just imagine if these robots have permission to decide whether or not to shoot for military purposes, so called killer robots already being used, usually as drones. but the idea to use them and non military various makes many

people nervous and race and lots of ethical questions. san francisco officials considering robots that can kill no, this isn't science fiction. it's reality. in 2022, the city administration wanted to arm these types of robots. protest stopped the plan for moving forward. but civil rights activists like kate crawford, one of the police use of on robots is simply a matter of time proffered fears. this could lead to reckless decisions and an increase in deadly force. the police officer might resist engaging in fine because of the, a robot acting on orders from someone you know, 101520 a 100 miles away. who may not understand, you know, the full circumstances of what's going on the scene. or even worse, a robot that has been pre programmed and uses machine learning technology to

essentially, you know, decide for itself how if you have a given situation, may not have a compunction. killer robots are not yet being used by us police. but in 2016, when a sniper shot 5 police officers and dallas, texas, police used a remote controlled robot armed with explosives to kill via sealants the robot had originally been designed to disarm bonds. there aren't laws regulating the use of police robots, the in a society where there are no laws governing how the police can use or vice technology. that the, the police could use robots to suppress the sense, you know, you've seen incredible descent in a rod, for example, where you're even members of the guy are saying this deal is too far, right? well, that's not an issue. if, if the people in power have a form you robot that arkansas,

that's pretty scary. and i'm not the only one that thinks that in a southern by the international contain stop killer robots. 66 percent states that the police will, autonomous weapons would cross a more a line as machines should not be able to kill some of the leading robot produces actually agree based spoken out against the all purpose robots being data privacy also comes into it because it's not just police robots that collect data and los angeles, a delivery robot gave the police the crucial hand to solve a case. a robot helped catch its own feel. pretty funny, right? actually, it's not really a laughing matter. in fact, it raises serious concerns about video surveillance of food delivery robot was out in about in los angeles. when suddenly steve's appeared and tried to steal what was inside the robot managed to escape. but afterwards, the manufacturing company that built the machine, sent it to video footage to the police without being asked to do so by the

investigators. the police located the suspects and the rest of the delivery robots usually record their surroundings. but the decision on what to do with that footage rests with the manufacturer serv. robotics wants to deploy 2000 robots and several us cities. and if they continue making their recordings available to authorities, could turn them into a mobile surveillance network. aside from robot security cameras also collect data. somebody equipped with facial recognition software and combat by identified people using biometric data and some police departments the controversial data base can give you a i is used this a i can compare one person's face with billions of photos which has been taken from social media platforms without consent, c o want on top sets of give you a, i has already processed more than

a 1000000 search requests by us police. analyzing data is meant to help prevent crime by identifying potential criminal activity. this concept is called predictive policing. but what exactly does this entail? at the heart of predictive policing, lies a big promise to stop crying before it is even committed. this is done by coming through masses of data. some programs focus on potential crime scenes. if they find links between previous incidents, say that they all occurred at the same time and place, or even during the same weather conditions, they recommend the police 0 and on those locations. other programs predict what they consider to be potential offenders. they scanned the criminal and personal histories of individuals for so called risk factors like previous arrests, or even dropping out of school to come up with a list of who is likely to break the law. the law enforcement agencies to play these programs in over 50 countries,

the western democracies and authoritarian governments. the proponents are predicted policing say it makes city safer. but the approach has cost outrage among human rights advocates. they war and that it increases discrimination programs. for instance, often slack low income communities, or minority neighborhoods as alleged hotspots, prompting the police to patrol those areas more than others. this in turn generates even more data and sets off a vicious cycle of discrimination, sliding these areas over and over again. similarly, the programs tend to single out low income people and minorities as potential offenders existing. these data, well the new daily within the us, whether in germany, whether in australia, in bed,

a lot of historical discrimination, they do embed systemic problems such as racism or cost isn't even sexism. now with baking all of this data, that is, you know, seemingly objective and correct, but it's in reality quite biased and discrimination, especially. it was minority populations. we did that as being the ground truth on which the computer kind of like loans, what backgrounds exist? public awareness for the risks of predictive policing in bias. these, again, some social groups is growing in the us a mid, a debate over systemic racism and how to reform policing. some police departments stopped using facial recognition and predicted policing. but in other countries, the technology is still in demand in countries that don't have strong data protection legislation or, you know, where governments i'm more open to experimenting with technologies on people receive that product. if anything is actually on the rise, whether it's police robots, all predicting crimes using ai,

we should be very careful about which tasks which like to delegate to machines. machines don't have a conscience or a sense of responsibility. that's why fundamental decisions, especially when the about life and death should never be made by machines alone. what small i feel like the interpersonal aspect dismissing personally, i would rather trust another human to help me instead of a machine. what do you think? would you feel safe? if they will police robots and your neighborhoods, or does it actually make you feel more anxious? let us know by and see you next time the, the race has long begun. later when we look back, we recognized all that's the moment when everything change in 5 years is going to

it's really been in this. we may only find out what the harms and and malign uses as a weapon against democracy or one of the a i raise the next on d, w knowledge, thousands of years. what's kinda tell us about our future to new fans is one of the earliest known sam's using researchers are able to reconstruct a positive fragments and record time. what secrets do these ancient documents review tomorrow today in q l is on d. w. we

say there the beginning of the night, every weekend on dw the up to many, many years later maybe we we recognized that the moment when everything change in size use you guys do everything we assume is we have to 1st of all understand that this is going to happen many technologies try to solve human problems using technology when actually what we need are human solutions.
