our lives safer, remember you can get all the news and updates on our website, dw, dot com and off and on us social media channels. i handle these ads, dw news, i'm british by energy invalid. and thanks so much for joining us to be back again in 45 minutes from now to then the in charlotte the currently more people than ever on the world wide and such a hassle attached to committed to actually find out about rubinez stores, info migrants why do how many does not get drunk? why do grab a tasteful waves, squeeze all bodies. how much do we need a day to stop comp claim for help find beyond fis

gets much on d. w. science, outtake talk channel. 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 our 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 while he was telling the truth. another case,

the robot doc spots patrol this spot and single port during the cobra 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 police robots. they collect 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 radiation microphones, lidar and infrared cameras allow the police to get a sense of the crime scene 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 tele games players, robotics department, and then us, which manufacturers and security robots. if you look at computers, even just 10 years ago, right, we've got by 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 offer a new level. robots, like the ones made by template 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 bought 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 insured 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 robot starting, you know, 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 to one more task

independently. we're starting to see, you know, robots do. some of those are thomas tests today for asian, for instance, but also through some threat identification autonomous robots aren't only being develop for police forces, but for security firms and services to this. what can also be dangerous and monotonous in switzerland. robots are being tested and taking on bes tough. the machines have one advantage that can work 247 without getting tired of this robot is a guard on wheels with foldable legs. it doesn't seem phased by adverse working conditions, and it should ideally patrol large areas like this for yard. the developers of the swiss started up a center 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 just 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 it. surrounding 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. that 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 a reckless decisions and an increase in deadly force. the police officer might resist engaging in finance because of the kind of a robot acting on orders from someone you know, 101520 a 100 miles away. who may not understand your full circumstances of what's going on, let's see. or even worse, a robot that has been pre programmed and uses machine learning technology to

essentially, you know, decide for itself how to behave and 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 on good explosives to kill via sealants. the robot had originally been designed to design and bonds. there aren't long as 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 rob, for example, where you're even members of the guy are saying this to us too far. right? well, that's not an issue. if, if the people in power, how does warm 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 lisa autonomous weapons would cross a more a line as machines should not be able to kill some of the leading real, but produces actually agree the spoken out against the all purpose robots being data privacy also comes into it because it's not just police robots that collect data in los angeles and deliver a robot, gave the police the crucial hand to solve the case. a robot helped catch its own fee. it's 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, since it's the 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, the 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 one type stuff 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 light is 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, perso 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. western

democracies and authoritarian governments, the proponents that predict the policing, say it makes city safer. but the approach has cost outrage among human rights advocates. they war and that it increases discrimination. the 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 police data, well, the new daily within the us, whether in germany, whether in australia and it,

a lot of historical discrimination, they do embed systemic problems such as racism will cost isn't even sexism, now with taking all of this data, that is, you know, seemingly objective and correct, but it's in geology, quite biased and discrimination especially. it was minority but conditions. 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 and bias use. 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. we see that predictive financing is actually on the right, whether it's police robots, all predicting crimes using ai. we should be very careful about which task 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 respect is all about a walk in waves and fixing nature. and that's why sandra,

respecting they just studying aids, i mean it's about being up to date with coming tardy is technologies. i'm training for the e co way of life, the environment magazine co africa. next d w i o r a this week we ask to drop off or not. how many people have friends who jeff i'd let me see by show has that's every one to meet young africans who left. uh huh. so and insurance just once a glowed way to be really paid. well for doing the same thing. i did do a name here and andrew state because everyone who's going to be able to country this 77 percent in 60 minutes on dw conflicts, crises, every single connection mapped out shows the geophysical reality. the on the board

is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube the how can we improve life in our cities with more and more people across africa and around the globe moving to other areas. this question has never been more important . i am sandra co homes, a 3 know do a writing comp. hello. welcome to yet another exciting edition of equal africa. and i, chris who lives in legal side to re up on the show today. we'll look at how we could cleared up all cities.
