i'm joined now by miles glendinning, professor of architectural conservation at the university of edinburgh you forjoining us here on the programme. i wonder if you could just take us through some of the considerations that have been taken on board in terms of rebuilding notre dame. i on board in terms of rebuilding notre dame-— notre dame. i think this is actually. _ notre dame. i think this is actually, the _ notre dame. i think this is actually, the whole - notre dame. i think this is actually, the whole notrel notre dame. i think this is - actually, the whole notre dame notre dame. i think this is _ actually, the whole notre dame case is really like a bit of a throwback to a 19th—century debate about how you deal with very high prestige buildings, cathedrals and castles, not so much about when they are damaged whether they should be restored to a prestige condition. there was a huge debate in the 19th century, and in a way, notre dame straddles this. as you pointed out in the report, a lot of the building, including bits that were destroyed like this art buyer, were actually 19th—centur

circus is sadie, is director of research at the center for tick normal moral futures at the university of edinburgh. she explains how the voice cloning technology is being used, especially in technology, a voice chronic and gets a few seconds of someone's voice sample. and then there are some 3 platforms, a i platform, i'll add out there. so you can just input is free a few seconds of someone sample. and then you can produce and, and basically a digital copy of and someone's voice is on the case that in a few seconds, we add some of these technologies can produce a, like a copy of your voice where you are giving get very sophisticated kind of speech and as cameras actually don't want that kind of like, and that kind of voice connie produce. so what they really want is that they want to produce a voice ado. so copy voice of someone else, which is which sounds like it is basically that person is producing a couple of sentences and shows that this person is in a complicated situation. so at the moment, the cutting edge technologist can do that in a couple of minutes. and, and so it's, it's something c

california, until the cost of that is the rank her research center hotel, the moral futures, the university of edinburgh. she explains the ethics behind the development of the technology. one of the very complicated issues here is that you can use this technology, you can make that that produces technology and you can use them for group purposes and you can use them for bad purposes, right? so there's been like this whole one of interest in 3 ways, right? innovation is great. innovation advances, humanity. many people make historical arguments that always innovation has resulted in the progress of mankind. so philosophy historian, question this issue, and you need to produce the 3 case studies to make sure whether pacific kind of technology a result in the progress of humanity or not. but at the moment, but because of this like troll innovation attitude in many countries, a number of some numbers in countries as well. then there hasn't been like regulations. and so the idea has been data regulation. com, wendy's technology come out and after technology is our, our, then we take some time to, to regulate

the customers i days director of research at the center for fact, no moral futures at the university of edinburgh joined us now from edinburgh. good . have you with a so 1st of all, how is this technology any different from the one that already exists? that is used to create deep faith videos. yeah. so and kind of like i say most cloning is an extension or an advanced version of the, of producing the fake. basically the fake includes some content just called synthetic data. and the same type of data can we produce in many different ways. we can have video, the fake, or we can have fake, we can have take the face, etc. but technology. oh boy, connie gets a few seconds of some one more sample. and then there are some 3 platforms, a platform out there. so you can just input this free few seconds, someone samples and then you can produce and, and basically a digital copy of and someone's voice. so the real time is, this is what you're saying. so if i, if i have this technology, i can then i can talk for minutes, 4 hours and everything i say sounds like i'm a 2 so not sammy. yes. so, and it's a very,
