in the world, all too often silence in the face of tragedy. con empire of silence starts february 15th on dw, the mega city. mm hm. by what's needed for a better move, sustainable feature, the virtual models, how ai is changing advertising. the child influences in the usa dream jobs, or in night, the day it's me with my friend, i'm totally,

i'm ada. and today i am going to be in boxing some to it, ada and charlie, about 8 years old and share the same dream. they're hoping to become youtube or as, and are practicing at a summer camp. they speak into their tablets just like they have often observed influencers do. when we interview them with a big tv camera though, they're a bit shy, but they still know what they want to be either a soccer player or um. i used to bring my dream job is to be to the 40 this little 3 year old, didn't need an influence or him in 2015, his mother simply filmed her son, ryan kaji, testing toys. the video was it. there are hardly any rules when it comes to parents, filming their kids, and putting it online. youtube in child influencing is incredibly lucrative. you can get money from views from brandy, all sponsorships,

all sorts of things. and once money starts coming in, it usually picks up very fast. 9 years and $2800.00 videos later, the family has several channels and even its own range of toys. by the age of 9, ryan was a millionaire. at 12, the young entrepreneur has now left into the world of feature films. many children throughout the us dream of a career like has. we're in austin, texas, a youtube summer camp is being held on the outskirts of the city. influence or courses are popping up everywhere, but texas is the 1st to offer one for children. 3 days cost the equivalent of around 230 years, 8 to 13 year olds, practice speaking in front of the camera, reading toys, viewing gaming videos, even filming, and editing the 2 course instructors, supervisors, and help with the technology. kids are learning business basics here at

a very young age. so what is the brain and why is it important for businesses and creators? a yes, the answers are slow and coming. it's obvious the kids are a bit overwhelmed. the i do for the can came from former schoolmates, their film club turned into a business idea. none of us have like education experience. none of us have like, with the school for that we just, we thought let's let them have as much fun as they can. let's let them give them a space to create things. and demand is huge. in the meantime, the creator can takes place at over 20 locations and it cost and regularly speaks with parents. he understands their concerns too much screen time, but he presents it as creative work. if a kid is going to be spending like 8 hours a day on a screen, we would much rather teach them how to like create things with a device. so that they're not just like only using like youtube shorts or they're

only playing games. studies show that active creating is much better than passive viewing, but research also shows that too much screen time and especially social media is harmful to kids. so ecologist, yelling, kick mine is that you agrees. it's hard for us to resist the mix of properties of these. um, you know, ads and, and the social media companies. imagine how it is for kids where they're prefrontal court cortex, which is the sort of the part of the brain that's right here. so which helps who in decision making? self control will power resisting temptation? judgment. all this good stuff, right? it's not developed until age 2526. so i think the kids need to be protected at the camp, the children practice, but also play online games in between the little theme. but mostly they're glued to the screen. and during the breaks, there's shown a movie, lots and lots of screen time. but the parents who sign up their kids for the course

mostly see the opportunities. sure, it'll be a fine balance to figure out if, if, if there is, you know, a career for them to down this road that campus step one. they want have a camera to microphone like the whole setup, just to do 2 videos and become users. i don't know, i'd say it's like a 5050 for me like i want them outside. but i also want to know how that's everything is kind of turning that way. so i want them to learn and others are already professional at that age, selling their brand, their products, collecting use. it's a $1000000000.00 business on all the social media platforms. the demand for crazy videos, dance videos, or just silly, but not videos from daily life is endless. and the supply seems to be as well. ryan earned an estimated 30000000 dollars last year. the ro, his and other parents play in this business is highly controversial. we're talking with stray another mode to as a student,

she succeeded in getting illinois to pass along requiring parents to share the profits with their influence or children. i tried changing a lot because it made me very upset that they were kids, my own age that were experiencing abuse and nobody was doing anything about the whole states are currently working on new guidelines to better protect children in this regard tray, i hope still go even further, and so when i propose this law, i wanted them to not only have access to the money, but also to have the ability to take down their videos once they turn 18 if that's what they choose. and the 2nd part is what i think law makers now that this bill has been passed should continue focusing on whether the kids from the course will have success as influencers remains to be seen. but they take some basic knowledge, some videos plus an oscar with them to ada for one feels closer to her goal. we want to know why she now believes that she'll be

a success up. i don't really know the to you i for the boxing and on boxing video, you don't need a reason to follow your dreams. and the debate about children in general on youtube is another one for adults to deal with the pay. i already plays a big role in everyday life, simplifying tasks at home, and improving things like dementia, cat, although it can be helpful in many ways. it can also do still tough sense of reality. this is marcus schubert heads a small advertising agency in saxony on hud in central germany. he designs online

shops, websites for care services, and logos for the local basketball club. last summer, he tested a software and designed his 1st virtual model. sophia, he soon realized that the more revealing her appearance was the more interest he generated. the hutton attorneys. uh, of course i created a profile since i'm a cheese won't be to 70 toll comes, comes from bell in as greenish blue, eyes, long blonde had on the same figure. so i'm confused with the tribute to divide shows these attributes to the simple reason that i thought they would generate the most beautiful, those of us getting to the less than kicks. marcus schubert created the image is using the stable diffusion software. you works with text instructions or prompts in a flash, super transport, sophia, to new locations you can achieve and a few minutes what would normally need an elaborate time consuming photo shift. here sophia is in the mountains. and the next moment,

she's in the big city. without having to travel virtual models or more sustainable and less expensive than real ones, that's a big advantage. doesn't need to fund division. we don't have to put the target 1st of all, super expensive locations locations. we don't have to send anyone halfway around the world for a little photo, kind of shooting up to out. marcus uploads one of his photos on instagram. after a few minutes, the 1st reactions appear saying how beautiful and sexy she is. marcus, perfect. the illusion by reacting to the comments in sophia's name, the likes also increased to reach the border between reality and

fiction becomes blurred the sutherland university and zap look in the south western germany. claudia funk is researching virtual influencers. yeah, thanks for taking the time to be part of our study. she wants to find out if users can tell the difference between the real and the digital models. claudia franca entered team, interviewed a total of $352.00 test subjects in a study. today, cairo is in the test room. after looking at 2 photos at the same model, the test subject has to decide is the woman real or computer generated a manifesto we discovered that the test subjects had great difficulty identifying virtual influencers. if they were not declared as such,

so when the group where there was no labeling around 30 percent of the test subjects, he thought it was a real influencer. and another 30 percent were unable to tell anxious. this is problematic because of users think the fake model is real, they see an unattainable ideal of beauty. the internet is already flooded with perfectly staged well toned bodies and smiling beauties. many influencers work with filters and correction programs. a models are now taking perfection to the extreme . flawless skin symmetrical faces, and extremely spin waists. digital beings can meet and exceed any idea of beauty, the as an integral part of the mouth, fitness, mental names. one danger that we see is that you could end up with a distorted self image because you compare yourself. you might think you have to look like that and could develop a fear of having to be perfect. in fact, you can't actually look like that because it's not real. the,

the fake beauty of a models can put immense pressure on young people who are still searching for their identity. professor, emily dukes, it's has been studying virtual models for some time. she knows that people who frequently click on certain content on social media also receive such content more often. that's kinda not finished. that's a few. and that can have the effect that we only consume a certain type of content. whether that's in the direction of this information, whether it's a certain political direction, or whether it's an ideal of beauty that we see over and over. and shouldn't isaac yet, this must be done point because the and this is the next stage and a i moving images. new programs such as sort show that development is progressing and leaps and bounds a. i can now generate animated films in seconds with the help of short text commands. the depiction of people, animals,

movement and buildings is extremely realistic. the hoping to monitor sherwood so they'd be mounting, problematic when someone uses it. for example, with the intention of spreading this information and then simulates authenticity and doesn't explain that these are not real people or real content 100. what i'm interested in hyatt so called deep stakes have been circulating on the internet for some time. now. the media content appears deceptively genuine, but was created using ai. it's often difficult to recognize the fake as such. defects can be used to embellish fake news and thus make it more credible. the technology behind it is continually improving and the creation of these fake images and videos is becoming increasingly simple. marcus schubert plans to create many more pictures of his a. i model sophia, it's clear that

a i models will continue to find their way into our everyday lives, so we'll have to learn how to deal with them. and the technology. there is not yet a labeling requirement for a based content in germany. a new e law aims to change that, but it's doubtful whether the virtual pandora's box can be shut again. ready ready the moving house of the world's population lives in cities by 2050. it'll be 2 sides. how can we provide for everyone in room by india that ro, already ideas for how to make city life most sustainable and more enjoyable? the quite 2015. we want the oxygen from trees, not from oxygen cylinders,

like we need to see, i see all the trees green thing please. and the themes of, of the actual meta upgrade to you as well. and i've been born and brought up in the 2nd. my name is so that you that the shuttle you have you lived here my whole life and my age 21. i think about 2015. i think it's k. i want to live in award for the screen on how these are the 20 twenty's. well, i think time and then just to be to the heart of decisions. nobody imagine that the reverse from office suspense would be cleaned up. and we, as i'm speaking to you from 2050 the,

the, to get fish in the early morning. and the dog gets by 5 o'clock, i go regularly me on i regularly by promise. so my lot was and lobster, so all these sea food items in the market at the back to us, you buy another, you know, 5 years ago there were a lot more fish. and now we have very few fish. by all means island. the number of women in the fishing industry has not gone down this page because they hope that someday the fish will come back. i don't see that that should be by just one minute. really the, this is the head of equal you at all. so the goal is that these garbage actually flows down, that it will and it gets stuck over your order because of that, it wouldn't be going to get to fish properly now. and we don't get much fishes

visa card all good. it's like basically the only official means the religious, the new or on this and the little doubt on fishing wheels while you're on basically to get caught, a must see the black ink alone indemnity this day. i will explain this to you so much about those much pretty know and everybody just respect. let me show you as a goal, be midway. imagine it would be possible. the 1st most important change which happened because at that time seemed almost impossible to achieve was the recognition that uh, villages like quality by that the fishing village is likely by the bottom faucet of, of the mon, done image of the 2nd. the nation has asked me to spend the philip walker at every level of the, of, of, of managing the moment we began to see the need to develop as part of

a largest system that's connected to the natural cycles of the month. for the last time, it took us attention one small to it's both services, it's got some of them. it's the mazda services, the ecology of the city. what seemed different and a one day and for a sec to update a very, very big role. we began to understand the need to separate see which to create better systems, which would have a good process, sewage locally at one level. at the same time, it was important to develop new networks, avenue 5 to see we got to create a new and that 12 of the supplies and very dense. and so most of them these 2 in actually gone out into the seats. and so bumping into, or the 20 twenty's really needed investments, and waste and investments to address amputation this way, to bump in need large investments and sewage treatment plans. so the order fund

base to which actually got cheated. and in fact, not just the sewage water was given to industries that are the way as you especially want them to be. they can see in the meat of us, we have all kinds of fish, which people enjoy as delicacies. it's also reading the logical systems of the land rover. he bought it mean i'd imagine about 50 years ago. and it's giving us hope that nature has visited the scanner utilities. it just means the lights, humans, the my mornings all gets along one of my head and i start to get going. i'm back home of cause it out of somebody so that will be clean and vitamin d. and there are some places that need really need a lot of work. the

leasing office is something that you start in july, 2019. you're clean in the morning and in the evening it'll be door to you again. but i think it is a really good way to mobilize people when the people actually come down to the beach, rather blogs cleared up the way it's video life. what is a good idea of the situation is so all the time, even i'd go home. rece does not get segregated critically and that's really frustrates me because in my personal opinion, if we is not good, segregated, it creates a lot of problems for the city. in 2015, i want a space where people are enjoying mutual josh via bosky and it's variety. and the green spaces come up in a way that the air quality does not affect the brand that has when i think about 2015 as an individual, i feel a blessed at times and it makes me feel frustrated as well. the

. the idea is really about eating beaches, not only for human recreation, but it is eating, which is because the creator heavy because of the squid. and now the timing, as you can see, it's also a place where people differently come for the day that for the creation of the maybe judge investments in public transport and then really cleaned up ca, best planes for put in place unenforced which men buses moved? firestone and the minute buses. firestone come one who thank you. that should do more people are willing to take buses. the other big investment that somebody need was investing in pedestrian infrastructure. and also the valley for box can be cleaned up the tensions. so the area around on these landfills was notorious because i went to life expectancy was 39 years in

a part of the city that was right next to the atlantic. i'm just taking, if you think about the 50 guide, you take t, it's important to engage with policy. it's important to engage with the questions around us and to think beyond the short term fixes. i also think optimism and part dissipation day and thankfully, so we should participate in a political system. we should educate as friends about the challenges around us. and also, like i said, think long term about distributions that needs to be put in place. the message to my friends and bring the 20s is to have faith in the ability of human beings. i'm natural systems to work together. if the stop looking at nature avenue,

based on looking at ecosystems as things which can contribute to even with either, let me just look for the better quality of life. devonne devonne. steve walk, devonne, imagination for the city which can accommodate the fall. this is going to accommodate the production of food and pushing as spots of more than a lifestyle. a sunday morning in 2015 is when i'm uh, it'll bring picking my kids out for the store. i gave it up and walking at all and just observing the c as, as observing the absorbing the lights and the fresh s i c, d bright, green space meal and the water i see boss ends and go to swimming and i have a lot of fish or gaps in my i have the all of us, i have the big bung with us. i have big, huge pro on stay go bronze and forms it is and all of my plate and i'm selling them

i can tell you about where i'm going. volume voice recognition. i can control speed, which is a joint so, so a lot as a mom was what was the odd, how crazy if i need to go false. i just push it all the way forward once. yeah, if i need it to slow down, i just put it back and then we'll adjust it speed. how this could be a huge development for the blind in china. because they're only $400.00 guide dogs in service in china. but we have about 20000000 visually impaired people, and it's impossible to solve this with guide dogs alone looking for more insights and inspiring solutions through around the wells. follow us on facebook, instagram, antiques, ok. the,
