max tegmark is a professor of physics at the massachusetts institute of technology and the author of life three point zero it's a book about the threat of artificial intelligence and he says a ton of us robots are already among us this is a human and this should not be conflated with talk about the human level ai know in decades sleeth autonomous weapons tiny drones that fly around and murder people depending on their skin color so you know it's something we can probably build within a few years by just combining technologies that we already have and miniaturizing them and and mass producing them and this is something which most ai researchers view is this just think and don't want to be part of. and still ahead this news hour. if you like is acceptable and history. will tell you about the new film director de mint and other contenders at this year's venice film festival. and then scored big events for skateboarding makes its asian games debut. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places to get the. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places toget

according to the massachusetts institute of technology, unless drastic measures are taken, china's most region could face such deadly conditions repeatedly. professor elfatih eltahir is the scientist who led the study. he told me more about his findings. this study focusing on china is the third in a series of studies in which we tried to explore the nature of waves and climate change. and we defined the region that extends from the persian gulf to south asia and into eastern china, including the north china plain, where we think the impacts of climate change, combined with impacts of irrigation, will result in deadly heatwaves that will touch on the limit of survivability of human beings. why would this region specifically as opposed to elsewhere, we are seeing this, as i mentioned, in other places. several factors have combined to produce these very severe climate conditions, including the low—lying lands, the low topography, the extensive irrigation that's been developed in the 20th century in this region, and the geographical location. they all combined to define conditions that wou

such as warned delano and others, their fortunes would go on to fund places such as massachusetts institute of technology, the famous prep school, those of you who have visited the columbia campus, low library, the perkins institute for the blind. many of these institutions that we see as pillars of american culture and charity and education were paid for by clipper ships, by the teacher aid and the opium trade so there's kind of a duality in the legacy of these men. the clipper ships, sadly, themselves, there are no surviving american clipper ships left. they are all gone, wrecked, burned, broken up. in 1923, the last, mckay clipper, the glory of the seas was burned for her metal parts which is being used for many years as a salmon cattery after the coast of washington state. the only fragment of a clipper ship that survived the to this day, a small portion of the bow of the main clipper ship snow squall built-in 1851. there she rotted for years until a small portion of the bow was brought up to the main maritime academy as a memorial to these magnificent ships. the only clipper ship at all that survive

finally, doctor sarah seeger was a professor of physics and planetary science at the massachusetts institute of technology. a native of toronto, doctor seger has made unprecedented discoveries and has gone leaps and bounds to expand humanity's knowledge in the field of astronomy. doctor seger's research has introduced many new ideas for the study of xo planets. in fact, she was part of a team that helped discover the first detection of light emitted from an xo planets. she is conducted swaths of research on theoretical models of atmospheres and interiors of all types of xo planets. i would note with all of these phd's, i think the senators sitting here are all badly undereducated. with that, we'll have our first witness, doctor thomas zurbuchen. >> chairman ted cruz, senator nelson and members of the subcommittee, the work of nasa is at the forefront of scientific discovery and innovation. the questions we seek to answer affect humanity on a global scale and focus on our place in the universe. where did we come from? are we alone? questions that are well aligned with the topic of this hearing. later this

visions well joining me now from boston is max tegmark a professor of physics at the massachusetts institute of technology and author of life three point zero of the about artificial intelligence and its red and mike's a very warm welcome to the program great to have your company so just thank you imminence is this threat this is very imminent this should not be conflated with talk about human level ai you know in decades it's little economist weapons of tiny drones that fly around and murder people depending on their skin color so you know it's something we can probably build within a few years by just combining technologies that we already have and miniaturizing them and in mass producing them and this is something which most ai researchers view is disgusting and don't want to be part of so much what are we talking about are we talking about here that these kind of futuristic you know part human robots that we imagine for the movies or you know what kinds of things are we talking about drones and so on here are nothing like really movies like the terminator we're talking about small drones you know smal

pitcher for san diego, it said on the score board he's the first ever graduate from massachusetts institute of technology ever to make an appearance in a major league baseball game. he gives up five runs. the manager goes to get him. he was slumping off the mound. mccain gets up and says next up nasa pal. we have a u.s. senator that is heckling. there was just a lot of things that get lost. you don't forget them on days like today. >> obviously his wife and family the loves of his life. he had love affairs with deep friends. joe lieberman, lindsey graham. i understand that friendship to have gone through some turmoil in the time of trump. but the relationship with joe lieberman was one of the most remarkable friendships i've ever witnessed. the relationship with mark salter one of the most, for sort of burly men, this truly has been a love affair. one man putting words that are just as exquisite as any poetry to the heart and soul of a man who truly embodies the slogans under which he ran. i had a fight with mark salter once and salter said dammit nicole that isn't putting country first. i said mark it's
