maria: at m.i.t.cambridge, massachusetts, the professors ruse is in charge of the computer science and artificial intelligence lab at m.i.t. her students are identifying jobs people don't want, like separating recycled bottles and cans. >> this robot is able to grab an object, squeeze it a little bit to figure out what material it's made up. and it decides it's made of metal, plastic or paper and it recycled it automatically. this is extraordinary because recycling is such a terrible job. we hope to offer people working in the recycling injury to operate the robots from a distance. maria: but artificial intelligence is only as effective as the information it is given. if there is bias in the data, the result will reflect it. the results were mixed on the chihuahua puppy and blueberry muffin. >> they are running around doing errands for us, but it's the job of the human to interpret what the system has done. for this reason, the use of these technologies require that we think carefully about how we ins

we talked to some people at m.i.t. who were doing some interesting research on that around surveillance with respect to the opioid issue. so that is a legit methodology. i will be anxious to take a look at the study. >> can you talk a little bit about that group of people who will not be able to get your benefits, your $600 benefit, until the end of the month when the state starts taking applications? why is it taking so much longer for them? gov. baker: the main reason between the difference between the traditionally unemployed folks who are in the unemployment insurance system and the folks who are not, the folks who get 1099's or self-employed, is they do not exist anywhere other than the tax system if they actually paid taxes and lived in massachusetts last year. so the first thing you have to do is actually create them as a person in a system that can then process an application for them based on the fact that you will have to build out all the data associated with who they were, where they worked, what they did,

i looked at m.i.t. doing a study right now investigating peptides , a compound of stem cells, to help prevent coronavirus getting into the longs. they are doing it -- the longs. they are doing it as a treatment until the actual vaccine comes out. do you know anything about that? guest: we have heard grumblings about it. i am really cautious we don't put too much stock in the highly experimental stuff. calamity, itsis, a is something i think open sub opportunity for us to explore every possibility and we should be, but we have to be really cautious with interpreting the studies to me there is a clinical intervention. costly,ike that are challenging, can have significant potential side effects or complications, and we have to fully understand that before we deploy anything has a clinically relevant or feasible solution. so just interested in following everything comes out, because we want to know what might be on the horizon, such as being very cautious with the early findings. host: michael from huntingt

only as outside researchers, a woman at m.i.t. computer scientist, she's really trying to hold technology companies accountable. now, i know that watson and his ibm did not create my father's wound of color, but working at ibm with its long history of technology in the service of racial purity and oppression appears to have never allowed my father's wound to heal. my father's belief in the importance of skin color and determining one's definitely only grew stronger over the years of his employment. in some ways ibm's dark history, however unconscious, seems to have gotten under my father's skin. thank you all so much for allowing me to share some of that history with you, to talk a little bit about my father and my relationship with him, about these early years in computers and ibm, and i think about the dark sides of this technology that we need to know about so just like that group never again action says, we don't allow it to happen again. so on that note, i'm wondering if there are any questions, and we have our friends here fr

m.i.t. economists looking at the 1918 flu pandemic and they found in city is that instituted good public health policy, the economic recovery was much faster than areas that did not institute good public health policy like social distancing. not only does good public health policy push down mortality but it negates the long-term effects of the pandemic. americans and businesses across the country are looking for certainty. americans are losing jobs every day. businesses remain closed. main street and walmart are looking for ways to change their operations. you are speaking later today with the chamber of commerce. i am sure this is forefront on their mind. there was a report last week about -- by the bureau of labor statistics suggesting the unemployment rate for weeks ago was 4.6%. if we just that adjust those numbers for the claims that have come in the last two weeks, more claims will be coming in while i am on that program -- this program, the real unemployment rate is probably in the ballpark of 10% to 14%. the unemployment rate today is probably as high as since the great depression and e

so academic universities, you know, the institute of harvard m.i.t., down at my university at tulane,nd especially at berkeley now, the people who are running the biology departments, who are studying gene editing, have converted their labs, like jennifer dowdner, you have on the screen right now, converting laboratories and saying, "we're going to step into the breach." you'd think it'd be easy, but the government hasn't made it easy. they don't have clear reporting requirements. they don't have ways of gathering the data problperly. the emergency operation needed to do a lab has been held up. now, we're seeing out of tulane, the university of washington started this, and now berkeley. they're doing it, and they'll also have to get to next generation tests, where you can do it in a -- go to a drugstore, like you would a pregnancy test. have a strip of paper, a stripe of paper will tell you in five to ten minutes. have you been exposed? have you got the virus? >> douglas brinkley, i'm just wondering if there is any moment in history that would call for even more than this, the opposit

he says, hey, flight, i'm going to look at this overnight, i'm going to call together a bunch of people from m.i.t., draper labs and we'll find out what we should have done here. well, i got a call about 10:00 that evening that said, the training people were right, we had made the wrong decision and they wanted to do some more training the next day. so, these were two episodes associated with the training for the mission. one where management got involved, when we were really struggling. when i felt pressure. the second time was when i found out that, hey, we didn't have everybody wrapped up as well as we should have. we had some loose ends. and now the crew was going down to the cape. those were the times that i felt pressure during the mission, but i didn't feel anything externally. >> finally, they launched. they had tli. they were coasting up towards the moon. and your crew were still operating, getting ready for the big event. what was happening during that time? >> the -- several interesting things. this is my first experience with the translunar phase of the mission. i had worked seven and

at all, so they never sort of bothered the women, and they said they would actually build their own petticoats. but eventually people did start to figure them out. and cilia's there writing and an m.i.t. chemistry graduate, she spoke fluent english and she became the major operative in santiago, and she was the one organizing all the stuff because frank by this stage had been murdered, grabbed in the streets and plugged twice in the head for a $3,000 bounty. he was 22. so vilma is there and she's organizing it until finally suspicion is falling on her and she manages to go out in the nick of time. he does a spread of all the gals, the sort of sexy look that is the counter part of the handsome guerilla guys, and hot of women were going up. you know, sewing uniforms, but others were joining, you know, wanting to fight. and eventually fidel starts a womens platoon, which is something of a world first, at least like 25 years before west point. so they headed their own platoon, there's like a dozen of them who'd go out into combat the whole time. meanwhile i'm sort of crack along here and we've got a revolution to get through. but meanwhile they became more and more popular and so they wo
