after the advice of the attack happened just off to 7 pm, it had the store of 2 shells lined decide, and near a bus stop. it was scary. we fell to the floor. we ran to the nearest shelter. we had a similar situation, had many people killed then it was very scary. so we're in the cool, we shift the district of don't yet city. this is navy that comes on to frequent attacks. you can see behind me that the shops here have bolted window is a bus stop just across the road is also being targeted and it's shedding. this is part of the ukrainian strategy. it seems of targeting residential areas, shopping areas across the city. again. also on sunday evening to kindergartens was struck. uh, this is no amenities. this is the accusation. the ukrainian forces often make when they strike such targets. but again, this was an, a civilian everywhere. and apartment building was also struck in, not shedding. now, according to local authorities,

that would be $97.00 rounds of ammunition find the majority of those with the $155.00 millimeter. these are the western us applied weapons along with 15 roll kits, 5 from a multiple launch, a real k system, a civilians, a bearing, the brunt of the ukrainian attacks. this is steve sweeney and don't yet city for all to suddenly as president mackie saw, has nominated his prime minister, i'm a do bot as his parties candidate for the february 2024 presidential election. we have selected mr. ramado bought the car in prime minister as a candidate of the government coalition and the great presidential majority for the presidential elections or february 2024. we ask you to support this candidacy, which is the one and only government coalition candidacy. i am a new bond, had been seen as one of the favorites among around a dozen potential candidates opposition leader,

a small and sancho currently imprisoned and has also expressed his intention to take part in the election. he was charged with calls for insurrection endangering, state security and conspiracy against state authority. in total about 30 candidates had been put forward for the presidential election in february. next year. august 2nd, political scientists and professor i gaston, burglary university says tensions could rise and incentive all during the next presidential elections. after some major politicians were excluded from like tor all list. yeah. busy there are some legal issues. according to the senegalese constitution, the president can not be in power for more than 2 terms. as her politics, it should be noted that in the history of sending gold, there have been a number of events, some even violent, but the people wounded and killed. we should have left tomorrow to come to political life of the country over the past few months. and as the president said, for the sake of facing society for stability in the country, in order to avoid cows,

he decided not to participate in the race. and also to appoint car and prime minister, a motive bar. as a candidate in the presidential elections. there were other candidates from because lucian, but among these 12 people, the president of the republic chose prime minister amount. but it is also worth noting that such a decision did not receive united with support. there also those who for legal reasons will not participate in the elections and such conditions. there is a risk of attentions because if a candidate does not participate in the elections, certain problems may arise. all right, let's look at the news for now, but this stay with us on back in just under 30 minutes with much more up next to the modus operandi. the, the hello, i'm going to

a chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. tech tightens around the world. are sounding be alarms, they are calling on law makers everywhere to pump the brakes on emerging a technology. so when the so called god father of a guy, jeffrey hampton announced his resignation from google earlier this year, citing his regret for developing such tech will examine how the world's top 2 economies are handling these warnings. all right, let's get into the m o. the v us in china, the world's top 2 economies have been locked in an economic war since the trump era in 2018. when donald trump leveled unprecedented terrace on china, i move that aim to encourage americans to buy made in america by making chinese and

ports more expensive. but the fight didn't actually begin there. it actually started back under brock obama when then the obama administration launched a number of complaints against china with the w t o, the world trade organization. mr. obama made no qualms about his position, saying this quote. i will go anywhere in the world to open new markets for american products. and i will not stand by when our competitors don't play by the rules. we've brought trade cases against china at nearly twice the rate as the last administration. and it's made a difference. was brock obama back in january of 2012. so it's no wonder that the tech wars are tech race between the super powers have reached the levels that it has even to the point that experts in the industry find shelley or calling on law makers to ran it in. so joining us to discuss is and the mock he is

a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization. you can follow andy on twitter at andy mach, that's m ok. andy lock at twitter. all right, andy, thank you so much for joining us to 1st. can you give us an overview of china? is new draft legislation on a, i mean, what are the main principles of it? how might you compare or perhaps contrast china getting ahead of this kind of tech as compared to the us approach? that's such an important question. manila, i think, to understand this, we need to 1st understand china's legal system in general. so the us talks a lot about separation of howards which really separates political power vertically. but in the us a political towers also fragmented part of thoughts as well. meaning that there are certain things that can be done at the national level that may not translate to the

state level, may not translate to the municipal law. however, china is vertically integrated as far as onto the integrated from the legal and political perspective. so what this means is that it is able to not only can see what influence and enforce important new laws or sets of laws including those around artificial. ringback regions and the digital economy in general. so what we're looking at with the draft a ard regulations is a whole listed and systematic approach that considers the technological breakthroughs the business implications, but also the effect on society and national security as well. so i think what we can expect from this is a comprehensive, well followed out law sort of it. ready seems that not only work on paper, but also can be implemented at the national provincial, municipal,

even neighborhood love this as well in china. i think this makes china very, very different from the us and perhaps most other countries. all right, so this sounds like it's scalable be approach the china is taking so far. now the carnegie endowment for international peace wrote a very short article that in effect, sees china as sort of a testing grounds for such was to rein in a high, perhaps a model for how other countries may approach ethical concerns. and most interesting to me. and they only touch on this one was the question around a ton of his weapons and arms control. seeing as the u. s. has recently used really bellicose language towards china regarding taiwan. will china be open to discussing autonomous military tech with the us going forward? well, those are 2 very separate questions. manila,

let me address them each in turn. so is china kind of a, a proving ground, a testing site for these was i think absolutely it is. so if we look at the other very dramatic technological breakthrough in modern times, that was the rise of the internet. and that said that the president of the united states is 5 bill prints made funded high. they funded china by saying that by trying to control the internet of control information on the internet that would be like nailing jello into the wall. so good luck with that. and in fact, we're trying to demonstrate it was not only could it quote unquote nail jello to the wall, but in fact it was vitally necessary to use so. so what we've seen all around the world and in the guided states is that an unmanaged incident. can result in

terrible things happening, not only online offline as well. so just information, cyber bullying, but even violence in the field. so i think china is a habits occurred here. ready comes to these kinds of regulations and we may see other countries, even the united states, copy some of the principles, the laws of the procedures and policies which friday is around artificial intelligence. so to the 2nd part of the question, if we look at what's going on and of course uh a i was looking at general today. i other types of artificial. ready is a general purpose of technology, which means that it can be used for business use for education. and as you touched on, it can be used for in military affairs. and this is a very,

very important aspect that has many, many people concern everything from if you watch science fiction movies like the terminator could these weapons one day to turn on their masters and destroy mankind a to could they be enormously disruptive at the hands, a few minutes, white weapons. so certainly i think every country around the world recognizes the importance of some sort of agreements to manage these risk. and i think china is though different. um we have to see what the us does in terms of its future actions . and you think recognize here is that there are important past dependents, meaning that if the us does continue with this very bellicose course of action is increasingly out of pocket, isn't good for you. and it has got a behaviors towards china. i would say it's hard to imagine this not influencing

how trying to use the development of a weapons. so certainly i think it would be a win for the world. if the tensions between the us in particular, these us publications can be dialed down, it'll be a number of 7. ringback including a more rational and a better set of policies around a i, in the military, you know, as the development of generative ai or chatbox chat, g, p, t and, and all of that accelerate in technology, technologically advanced countries, you know, such as china, russia, the us all these various e u countries. what sort of disparities do for see growing between these welfare countries versus, you know, countries which are not quite there yet, the still developing nations when, what are this actually widen? the gap and wealth disparity? well, that's such a great question. vanilla typically we've seen these kinds of

technologies, especially information technologies a wide in the gap between the have. so we have not. so i think we can make some good arguments that what we see in well disparities and developed countries, especially in places like united states between c e o is an average worker. ready as for these are the heads of these tech titles like the google's, like, the facebook's really is driven by these advances and technology. however, it was a i, it might be a little bit more of a double edge sword. and that, of course, of these technologies can of wide and the gap between the have some of the have nots. but there's also some evidence to show that they actually, it's power. people in the middle of towards the bottom of whatever

a hierarchical bladder that we're thinking and allows them to be more competitive within whatever system they're operating in. so i would not say that and vigorously that this is going to wide. uh, the gap is the digital gap, but certainly we do need to pay attention to us as a to you to one of the big concerns. many people that are following these developments is the concentration of economic power. those big tech companies have we seen china of course, that this is something that the government does recognize and is not only able but willing, willing ad. ready to take action to prevent this kind of over concentration. how about within each of these countries? um, domestically let's just take the us as one example. there is great concern that the rapid pace at which a, i couldn't make jobs such as customer service call centers obsolete

a how do you view the anticipated tech takeover of these types of jobs? it is the fear warranted and should us lawmakers actually intervene? so certainly the impact of any major technological breakthrough on employment is an important topic. we can look at electricity. uh that put many people out of jobs and the internet is to be touched on earlier. also had a dramatic impact not only in wealth distribution but unemployment as well. so similarly, i think a, i a is expected by many to have a profoundly disruptive impact on white collar jobs that traditionally saw to be se accountants lawyers. i've even seen chad, t p t being used to run a in f. what do you want to invest in stock?

so perhaps even warren buffets a job may be at risk. so this is certainly a concern of some of the more optimistic side believe that this could lead to what so call a post scarce in europe. and meaning that we can produce so much of everything through a generative ai, ai. ready link to 3 d printing, that there will be no scarcity of anything in the world, and we would reach a sort of a communist utopia perhaps, and marks might be smiling down from heaven at this prospect. all right, coming up next, would you let a guy decide your fate in a court of law? we'll discuss it when we return with and the mock sit tight. the m. o will be right back. the,

the, to take a fresh look around as a life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions fixtures designed to simplify. it will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen for you? fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusions, going underground? can the

the welcome back to the m o i manila chant. so there's been a lot of talk surrounding a i taking jobs from the working class. but what about exclusive career paths like judges, or maybe even sunday lawmakers themselves a and a mock, a senior fellow at the center for china and globalization is back. thank you for sticking with us and the so in china, so it's not why we use just yet. there's a legal ai platform called shout about gong intelligence, intelligence sentencing prediction system. now it's being used by judges and prosecutors and criminal law there. the system suggests penalties based on big data analysis of cases in its system and greens,

from judgements of previous similar cases made by a human judge. now could this lead to fair sentencing, you know, an argument long made here against us sentencing process, ease, uh, which communities of color are here say are overwhelmingly harsher on that. welcome to another very, very good question. um, so we all know the humans are fallible. they have why sees that they may recognize we have biases, we might not recognize. so at least in theory, a n a i, a algorithm or application could certainly results in more fair. so it's the same, but of course, the devil, some details. one of the biggest areas of research and development in artificial intelligence is what i believe they call alignment that we don't want to

inadvertently apply bias these or uh, other assumptions or principles. mistakenly that would result in the outcomes that whoever the people are that decides these things i realize are not actually in alignments with the good society. but i think here again, to contrast the us and china is that the chinese approach from a government perspective is very rational as scientific. where is the us? to large degree is based on face and id, ology that may not necessarily be grounded in facts of empiricism, meaning, observing what really happens in the real world and adapting your approach based on that. so i think we have to see, but one of the things certainly,

i think the china brings to the table, not only a large market, not only a large stem contingent to science, technology, engineering, management, scientists, engineers, etc. but also the ability to conduct many of these, quote unquote experiments to look at what are the most effective and appropriate ways to apply artificial intelligence. again, i come back to this a very important idea that a i is a g p t gen, a general purpose technology, meaning that it can be used for almost anything we can imagine. so, stay tuned and worth noting a i can only assess the data that it's given. so if adjudicated cases by human judges were particularly harsh the a a, i would then use that as part of its calculation. so, you know, as only as good as the data, it's given, right?

so at a, on a philosophical note, what are your thoughts more broadly on how a i might impact mankind as a whole. will this tech be good for us, or will this lead to our own ruin? what thank you again. if many of these scientists and other people involved are developing a, i are correct. one of the unique things about artificial intelligence compared to other technologies, is just the range of possible outcomes. so uh, well, you know, i think maybe that's debatable, but what i mean by this is certainly there are credible people saying that it least potentially is dangerous to the level of a and extinction events for mankind. so of course that would be very bad for humans

to others. say that this could result in not only a post scarcity economy, but what, what, how humans to be on god's meaning that they're not only emissions, they know everything, but they're also immortal. break kurtzweill, who wrote a book many years ago called a singularity, predicted this that because of the dances and computing and an artificial intelligence that humans would either be able to biologically forever or be recreated with sentence in the cloud and achieve them. what's how in that way? so i think the range is, is very, very broad. one other thing i want to go back to is one of the challenges of a i, which we think about a sentence sentence. is that a lot of times a guy works, as you say by looking at the data. it gives better realtors, but we don't know why. so just as a for many humans requires

a comprehensive doing. so we don't know why person a got a very har substance in person, the head of god of great lenient subjects, even though quote unquote, those are the correct outcomes based on an analysis of the data that could be problematic. so again, this raises a post of intriguing questions that i think we'll all be discovering the answers to last. and it, as the tech wars around the world heat up. do you see a need for a global treaty on this matter? like, you know, like what we saw with the old start treaty between the us and then soviet union, or perhaps more recently the jcp away the around nuclear deal. and how do we even get there to this global unified position on a safety when the world seems more at odds now than it ever did during the cold war?

that's a tough question to answer manila. so one of the differences between a i or cyber weapons, we general one, compare them to nuclear weapons. is that with nuclear weapons part of the values letting your adversary know have. and of course, it's easy to verify a relatively easy to verify the existence of these weapons of the issue with cyber weapons. and i would put, perhaps a guy in this category is what makes them voltage is actually your adversary not utilizing their suspecting that you have that capability. so this makes it very, very difficult to have a greater transparency around these kinds of weapons. and i think this is the conceptual hurdle that has to be addressed and perhaps they'll be a way to solve it. but another way or this is if countries can this

more for ammonia sleep together in the countries do not seek to germany or to interfere in these areas of other countries. then certainly that reduces the likelihood of conflict where a i left in cyber west is where even nuclear or other conventional type of weapons we used. and a mock from the center for china and globalization. thank you so much for this insightful conversation. now i don't know about you, but this rapid advancement of a goes beyond the uncanny valley as 1st positive by the japanese robotics professor masa. here, a more a back in 1970. this is letting a faceless algorithm within a computer guide humanity. i don't know something kind of creepy about that. all right, that's going to do it for this episode of modus operandi. the show that digs deep

into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila, cham thank you so much for tuning and we'll see you again. next time to figure out the the 1941 with the nazis health relation, ultra nationalists, the you astonishes the claim, the independent state of croatia. shortly off, the seizing power. they built the scene of us concentration camp a place associated with the worst atrocities committed in yugoslavia during will go to use dash is used to come system to isolate and exterminate subs, roma, jews, and other non catholic minorities and political opponents of the fascist regime conditions in the san of us come with her renders the gods tortured to arise and the prisoners they send in the constitution camps. so

most of them died. it was incredible genocide. the total is the aggressive today i'm authorized for the additional strong sanctions. today. russia was the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that is constantly growing. but i think the officials list a couple seniors just click on the only thing and we see more in the way we'll shift for banning all in portion of russian oil and gas suffering the price for another country. hope all's well. we're going to reset the fed said this thing for the little joe biden in imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's a boomerang the the

now can you please? it's typically from here to nancy kim's in the book, the this is just the way it gets to the young showcase. use the skinny to the by the boys at the boys, the, the noun that will be for them. i'm not sure if this to florida doesn't want that

extra them, but adults up under that the president micron refuses to withdraw from the troops from new share at the request of the new authorities. as africa is rocks by a wave of cruise for the bite and turns back the clock for his vietnamese tom offensive upholding a line from a vietnam war era radio broadcast in an attempt to woo, the southeast asian country. that's still clearing its territory of us landline, the end of march. and remember is of the victims of the us back to in chalet ends in
