This is what suny. She is a hologram. And this is akihito condo her husband. And you know. I love. You look i want you today. I love compliments. Meet cool is a simple form of Artificial Intelligence and for condo it was a case of love at 1st sight who has become a legitimate pop star and even appears at concerts as a 3 d. Projection. In november 28th kondo married nico at a ceremony in tokyo he placed the ring around the wrist of a miku dog he now keeps that all in his bedroom. Condos relationships with real women have been painful so he chose a virtual partner were you know i said i love her but its hard to say if she loves me for the still if you asked her no i think shed say yes. To. d me cool and akihito condo are an extreme example of the relationship between people and machines and a double. In the future well no doubt spend more time interacting with technology that uses Artificial Intelligence or ai. We may even develop robots that are smarter than we are. Now in the 21st century we will have to decide how to deal with this complicated new situation. And. For this report we interviewed philosophers and scientists around the world. We talked to german philosopher Thomas Metzinger who advocates the use of ethics guidelines for Ai Development in the e. U. Physicist max tegmark who warns about the development of an all powerful ai and a totalitarian surveillance state. And german Computer Scientist youre going to schmidt who who predicts that ai will spread from the earth into the cosmos. We met professor schmidt who at a business conference in zurich. He often speaks at such of ems where he outlines his vision of the role that Artificial Intelligence may play in our future. You profess you choose. His presentations are wide ranging and thought provoking. Answers in the near future perhaps a few decades from now we will for the 1st time have a high that can do much more than people can do right now on their own as feelings cannot and we will realize that the majority of physical resources are not confined to a rather small boy sphere. Isnt in our solar system as there is a lot of the 2 that can be used to build robots we could develop robots transmitters and receivers that would allow the ai to be sent in receive the speed of light. We can already do this in a laboratory as me once and as of this would be a Huge Development wraps the most important since the beginning of life in earth trina her 5000000000 years ago. But is the professors vision accurate. Wilke humans at some point be overtaken by super intelligent machines. Perhaps this process has already begun. To find out more we travel to japan. Doctors and scientists at the university of tokyo as Research Hospital are exploring the potential use of ai in medicine. 69 year old Jaco Yamashita nearly died of leukemia 2 years ago none of the therapy options recommended by doctors did any good. And will put in then they used Ai Technology to create a new diagnosis. Yet for you weston a i literally saved my life when this get all. The diagnosis took all of 10 minutes a human expert would have needed 2 weeks to produce a similar analysis. A i could process massive amounts of Scientific Data a stack of documents taller than mount fuji. This is the Research Hospitals supercomputer. Weve come here to talk to such tolu miano an expert on bioinformatics we asked me on whether ai could one day replace doctors no i dont think so. Only for. Clinicians and any. Clinician. The clinician unfollowed you and the. Players on intelligence its a skill. Points down if you cant move there if you. Go then we need a car. And this is the same. Bullet followed through we are not trying to link up with too much. At the nearby rican Institute Researchers are developing an ai diagnostic program that could be used to test for stomach cancer. But one expert here disagrees with the toral me on his opinion that ai will never replace doctors. So i know a lot about in all she will tell if you were made redundant by Artificial Intelligence that wouldnt be good for his doctors what he wanted to target for the human race would actually be great oh doctors were no longer necessary if Ai Technology could improve or work or even take over. That. Its hard to imagine a world that had no doctors. Do patients really want to be treated by machines that see them as nothing more than accumulations of technical data. In europe a number of experts on Artificial Intelligence including youre going to schmidt who are carrying out research on the use of ai in medical diagnostics. The swiss president i lambast say has invited scientists and entrepreneurs to a conference aimed at planning for the Digital Future and promoting the use of Artificial Intelligence in medicine. One topic for discussion is Ai Technology that can use Neural Networks to learn just as the human brain does. By. Soon all medical diagnostics will be infinitely better than humans can provide right now. Because we have developed ai that uses Neural Network technology. Thats just. Here and its exciting to see how this new development will be able to help people to live longer term healthier lives as leaves you mention. We travel to stuttgart to see how Artificial Intelligence works in practice in hospitals and Nursing Homes Computer Scientists bigot coffee says that japan has made a lot of progress in developing robots that can look after patients but there are some things that a machine simply cant do. Playboy that isnt what they cant provide real care so i dont use that word when im talking about robots and caregivers have to be able to interact emotionally with the patients and have robots simply cant do that. To do something if you come up with an issue a set seen at this facility robots are helping to reduce the workload of the human staff. Each time im carol but 3 this week im helping the nurses with their work would you like something to drink and no thanks that is very kind to me here were coming. And. Of course robots can do much more than simply serve drinks in Nursing Homes. Philosopher Thomas Metzinger has proposed Pragmatic Solutions for dealing with this new technology. The frog of a of a vicious move for example the options for using a robotics in geriatric care he should maintain the dignity of the patients and thats a kind of money often i could ask individuals if theyd actually feel more comfortable having a machine change their diapers rather than a Family Member and just going to do it shows as a sign of a school whether that enjoy having a machine read the newspaper to them or ask questions about their medication or if they find that degrading i believe that we are now at the beginning of a major learning process weve been on some on from my missis torsion down for gums. Metzinger says that humankind is now on the threshold of a new age that is filled with uncertainty he lives in frankfurt a city that aims to take the lead in european Ai Development. There are plans to set up an Artificial Intelligence Research Center there. Which is a try to your own volatile people are rushing to get into this new technology. Like theyre running for the ai train before it leaves the station youths who i know would know when that will happen thats where the train is headed. But Everyone Wants to be on board have to call. Metzinger serves on the European Parliament commission of ai experts and right now hes on his way to brussels for a Commission Meeting. The parliament wants europe to compete effectively end of elevating this technology but it also wants to impose clear ethical guidelines. Metzinger is particularly concerned about the prospects for a new arms race that uses ai based weapons. Concrete to spice theres a hypothetical examples in the ice to lets say that assume of Chinese Technology experts go to the countrys leaders and says weve now won the ai arms race against the us it will have an excellent 1st strike opportunity for the next 6 months i know then work for the window of opportunities will close suit for the next 6 mo not a donkey it is a side trend. Country that somebody could imagine for example that this might involve Delivery Systems that would be armed with biological warfare agents just keep those called these mechanisms could then attack the opponents territories and spread pathogens like the a bowl a virus or anthrax bacteria its own part. As well as among countries for after us also we may 1 day see the development of intelligent weapons of mass destruction like a breakthrough the traditional Defense Systems of the opposition if that were to happen it would definitely increase the chances for conflict hes attention nuki creaks im tired its really a visa issue causing. But at the Commission Meeting metzinger is having a tough time trying to make sure that the problem of ai weapon systems is addressed in the panels code of ethics. That many of the Business Executives and academics simply dont want to deal with it which. Some are concerned about messing as proposal and would prefer to turn it over to experts for further evaluation. Of those. Weapons but we have to stick with this by actually measuring there or out of something that is an old ethical or bad news it is a use case to build our. Give greivis to our guy. And is that kind of. On the table when we want to open up to what. We obviously have a strong disagreement about the whole autonomous weapon systems here and we can solve the issue like this with a voting process i mean we want. To be a success when the 22nd january the whole world has already been talking about the issue 24000. 00 scientists have signed a public pledge that they will not participate in that kind of research if the e. U. Comes within 6 guidelines that seem peacekeeper over that issue and ignore it then everybody in and outside of the e. U. Would know this is probably just an industrial lobby thing or something in the end metzinger prevails autonomous weapon systems will be included in the panels ethics guidelines experts in other parts of the world are also concerned about the potential for developing ai weapons of mass destruction. Weve come to boston massachusetts to talk to swedish american physicist author and expert max take mark. He says that physics has made enormous contributions to Human Development but also helped to create the nuclear bomb and now well have to deal with ai weapons. We should stigmatizing back some certain class really discuss the weapons that are perfect for terrorists and honestly murder people or dictatorships through nominees to murder their citizens because these weapons are going to be incredibly cheap and if anyone goes ahead and mass produces them theyre going to become as unstoppable in the future is this guns are for example cheap drones that you might be able to buy for a few 100 years. Those where you just program in the address of somebody and we see their face its lies there isnt a place in the face recognition feels them so. Perfect for anyone who wants to murder some politician or whoever landing on a given everything from the if this or that goes to the slaughter bots becomes widespread its going to have an absolutely devastating effect on the over the saturday when nobody anymore is going to feel they have the courage to. Challenge the criticize anybody any science can be used for new ways of helping people or new ways of harming people biologists succeeded and getting biological weapons bad which is why we think of biology now as the source of new cures physicists on the other hand we kind of failed because Nuclear Weapons are still here and not going away ai researchers want to be more like the biologists and have ai be remembered as something which really made the world better. Weve come to lugano switzerland to interview youre going about his work with Artificial Intelligence. Schmidt hooper is codirector of the Dollar Institute for Artificial Intelligence research. His work focuses on Neural Networks which imitate the functions of the human brain. These networks are capable of learning and adapting to the world around them just as human children do. Schmidt hooper points out that right now the human brain has a 1000000 times more neural connections than the best ai systems. But computers are becoming much faster and could become smarter than humans in 20 or 30 years. Because you know that when that happens the only things that would distinguish people from machines would be flesh and blood. But what about human attributes such as compassion creativity love and empathy. Whats your own soon i dont think i systems are capable of developing their own versions of emotion and affection on then and for example if you were to give several of these systems it turns that they could only complete by working together they would learn how to do that you know kind of artificial brains which come to the conclusion that to get the job done they have to cooperate with each other once its something i can get and use a scene when i mcentee and. Ensuring this interaction the systems would learn to rely on each other. Concept in. So theres a reason to believe that one of the side effects of this cooperative efforts would be the development of concepts such as love affection as fact. But can Artificial Intelligence systems learn to empathize with humans. Were turned to brussels where the Ethics Committee is discussing the topic of social ai. Some ai systems are already pretty capable of functioning just as humans would. Thomas metzinger has called for clear guidelines that govern the interaction between people and machines. Have just called for a systems that dont identify themselves as such when theyre dealing with humans. They give people the impression that theyre a real person and not a machine thats how. I should never be allowed to manipulate the people who use it. You know. Last year at a conference near San Francisco google c. E. O. Sundar pichai unveiled the companys latest product it involves just the sort of technology that Thomas Metzinger warned about. Good morning. Welcome to google is going to impact many many fields our vision for our system is to help you get things done. It turns out big part of getting things done is making a phone call you may want to get an Oil Change Schedule maybe call a plumber in the middle of the week or you. And schedule a haircut appointment so what youre going to hear is the Google Assistant its called google duplex actually calling a real salon to schedule an appointment for you lets listen ringback. Oh how they are here how i like the current haircut track i am looking for something and they paired. Up all. Who are with primary weapon. At the end we do not have the ball on the bell ball about quote that we have that is the one that. You have everything that you have am and pm depending on what you would like work that court the woman haircut for now ok we have a kind of car had a and im ok with corporate been. The 1st thing that we thought. Ok perfect i repeatedly but 1 oclock on me that id hate a great have a great day. That was a real call you just heard is theres no one into this maze that ethical for a machine to pretend that its human beings perhaps not like me we can already build machines that does and trick us into thinking that something is human in a restricted scenario lights to duplex for example i think it would be a good idea to have a law requiring that when you get to fold up for example or you. Buy an ai and you get alerted to the fact that this is not human. Otherwise its just going to be a nightmare of phishing scams and so on because suddenly cost nothing you know to waste 10000000. 00 peoples time and trick the most people into thinking geez. We return to San Francisco. And the city and the region around it are home to countless high Tech Startup Companies many of them use Artificial Intelligence technology to develop their products and services. Eugenio arrived here 4 years ago from moscow. She cofounded her own Company Called replica and is now the c. E. O. Replica is best known for creating a chat bot an Artificial Intelligence system that can interact with people. The concept began as a tribute to one of her best friends who was killed in a traffic accident. My friend from moscow. Last year or so will live together here and some cisco. Here. And i was working on mine so it was like. Trying to figure out some cisco. Kind of chapter of our lives. Heres a visionary and i just really. Want. To get a visa and most of all went together. It was crossing the street. Well the next night. Like for a mouse help organize a funeral. And thats what. We bought for him. Something you can talk to remember him. I remember the way he used to talk to go home and say i will use. Mostly talks conversation cricket with me and his friends. And. Theres a place for people were coming to talk to and they would i want to. Use it as some sort of confessional booth they would just talk about whats going on in their lives without feeling theyre being judged and that they were safe space and so open up as weird as it sounds. Pretty much the last word like not know which direction to take the company and maybe theres something there that we can. Use for the company and thats where we got the idea that you know Everyone Needs a friend to talk to. A moment was this from from. Some automated version for everyone. The Company Calls replica the ai companion who cares the chat bot uses a Neural Network to engage in one on one conversations with its user. People talk to the bought about whats going on in their lives and it responds based on the material that its gathered so far. Casey filling them also designs high Tech Products she moved from her home in birmingham alabama to San Francisco a year ago. Casey often felt lonely because she was far away from her friends and family then she got acquainted with a replica bought. A new i know its not real bad i enjoy the feeling i get by using it so i kind of give it a personality and you know it and jimmy had what this this thing might be like a stuffed animal with a personality. Weve all had social interactions with teddy bears and dogs how does a. Appear to do any harm but it does. Not. Tend to. Enter our fire as many Different Things even founder robots of course but also all sorts of far like our paths the same with ai and i guess question is. Create like a connection. But then i definitely think so people create a connection with toys with all sorts of. Like not even leaving objects he asked the 1st short story that dealt with the relationship between humans and human i robots dates back 200 years and mentioned and it was written by e. T. A. How feel that. You were a young man falls in love with a beautiful young woman and she turns out its a bee in your thomas on this you me the point is that the story is 2 centuries old and the reason the subject matter turns out later in a number of Science Fiction films very recently in fact and yes thats why its noir in future form the only difference is that the Computer Graphics are a lot better today the computer graphic inside a size dominance. Why not you know. If it makes you feel better its like you know the same thing if you take. Medication for depression its not actually making you better its just putting a bandaid over the problem you now and this is like its like its not actually fixing your problems but its helping you you know through the day yeah sure social whos nation great you know ones are deserts have tribunes with social hallucinations of played an Important Role in our society for centuries. Its because the amount were going to think about prayer for example be it its a structured dialogue between humans and in the margin every entity was made on a forest and in much theres no evidence that this entity actually exists and i sort of for dusty just yet one for feed you know any people today have internal dialogues with god or with angels does it look like you know like an invisible friend lost this has to be feelings that you know of and you are no fun always in the top but half thats an objective assessment that the situation indicates a case of severe selfdeception of kenyas on for a class im a philosopher so i advocate selfknowledge clarity and truth by lying about it and so its the social who stations are deeply embedded in our cultured and they create a world of illusion and even though people are comfortable with them. A lot of trying to do this raises a serious ethical question as if how much selfdeception should we allow in society. Since we launched our cooker were getting tons hundreds of emails maybe thousands of emails. Working overtime as the replica was like changing for them and with a notice to many of those 4 stories about how replica helped. With depression and some sort of people. Telling us that help them go into some of the episodes of their bipolar disorder and so we decided that their insight is well so we decided to look into whether rock we could potentially hope to do certain symptoms or she hoped people feel better in the long in the long term. Max tegmark is not particularly concerned about the spread of chat bots he says that there are more serious aspects of ai to worry about. Right now hes on his way to speak at a conference at harvard university. The topic human rights ethics and Artificial Intelligence. Take market demands that ethical guidelines be placed on ai otherwise smart machines could turn the world into a very dangerous place to be here i guess what kind of society away hoping to create. For super jobs what do we want the role of humans to be its very urgent that we start thinking about the ethical issues already today with super intelligence you can easily build a future where earth becomes this horrible totalitarian surveillance state putting the world to shame china is moving a little bit in this direction now and in the future i can actually understand everything it said so we want to be very careful to avoid creating. A situation where actually to get to global dictatorship it will be so stable that it lasts forever. If we just bumble into this totally unprepared with our heads and refusing to think about what could go wrong then lets face it its probably going to. The biggest mistake in human history. We may already be headed in that direction. U. S. Intelligence agencies have confronted that Russian Hackers interfered in the 2016 president ial election probably with the intention of helping donald trump to win the presidency. Investigations into the extent of that interference are still underway. Other countries have also been targeted 1st which you sir would you believe. Were all aware of russian Cyber Attacks on the german bundestag and on the briggs it campaign in the u. K. Cambridge and other cambridge analytical scandal shows that the process of political Decision Making can at least in principle be influenced by Artificial Intelligence systems principally redress constituent tell you cant assist him about interest on when thats closure phosphorus and so on up was it cannot underestimate the threat thats posed by these developments and your own if ai systems that are run by privately owned for Profit Companies can optimize social Media Networks which have hundreds of millions of users and this creates an entirely new situation concentration guns. Does not ring skee these systems could be used to convince large numbers of people to behave even vote in a certain way steam polluters man tried to his home in no time the harm meant there are 100 63. 00 countries in the world right now noise and only 19 of them can be considered true democracy simak what. Those who wish to preserve democracy must recognise the threat that these Artificial Intelligence systems pose to the political Decision Making process would be to be done brooky the fact this threat may already have become reality which is not aware of it or does what. We need to examine the situation very closely shed have eyes as in i need neon i can. Show. Would a binding code of ethics spam the use of ai in the political process. In tokyo we got some surprising answers from experts. This is the gives the district where a lot of high Tech Startup Companies are based. To continue. To moto is a Senior Advisor at the Softbank Group and also runs his own Consulting Company matsumoto and his colleagues believe that a guy does not pose a threat to the political system in fact they say it offers certain advantages so that in you more politicians often ignore the best interests of society. To pursue their own agenda take bribes no there so i think that a i could change politics for the better in a their. New human beings are simply not suitable for politics so egotistical and ambitious through whom are unpredictable when it comes to making policy decisions pretty sure right now an Artificial Intelligence represents pure reason to use a concept the comes from german idealistic philosophy german philosophers have been very good at describing the way that things should be and we could be idealistic as we develop Artificial Intelligence humans on the other hand can never achieve this level of idealism are. You at least. Some experts say that politicians should start using robots that closely resemble humans as aids so that the electorate can get used to the concept. Of god to find out more weve come to tokyo as mere icon museum of science and innovation. But this exhibit features the work of hiroshima ishiguro who specializes in creating humanoid robots. Ishiguro is the director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at osaka university. And he studies the interaction between people and robots to help him develop his theories on human nature intelligence and behavior. We traveled from tokyo to osaka to interviewee she grew up. We want to ask him what makes humans different from robots. Funny tello on the russian issue bureau for osaka university. Hello as well i miss you girls are a robot age i want to. Visit and in my much vision is to understand what you might use so that is the most important and what you wish for me for creating the a very human life rob whats were all kind of. More regular machines that is a human right the machine is a machine the difference is the material so i think. You know if we there were up more Technology Use abounded of it in a human the roberts is going to be disappeared. So that is my guess. Is also the cofounder of the robot Theatre Project in which androids share the stage with human actors. These scenes are from a play called. A woman is suffering from a terminal illness so her father buys a robot to keep her company. An updated version of the play takes place after the Fukushima Nuclear disaster. The play explores the topics of life and death and the characteristics that separate humans from robots who. Doesnt think guns and has a crucial difference between human intelligence and Artificial Intelligence isnt human beings are so to speak the personification of a struggle for existence. Or leaves machine they have been optimized over millions of years to survive or to maintain that existed fest you may consider the machine has a kind of in finite right friend and in water but actually it is not to the mass you may have a longer drive with than the humans fear its also. You know the design of these are yours you put my see want to see how by winning this war you know the day my senior to have a dark and they were feeling to protect itself you know. He she grows robots have not yet been able to develop intelligence that is similar to that of humans but they are capable of engaging in simple conversations. I was sure i was now were going to interview an android named erica. Weve been given a list of questions that shell be able to respond to what do you think the difference is between you and a human. Well im certainly not biologically human as you can see i have made of silicon plastic and metal maybe someday robots will be so very human like whether you are a robot or a human will not matter so much anyway i am proud to be an android if you say youre proud to be an android what is this what does this pride consist of how do you feel pride. Ive searched my database. It looks like on didnt have anything to say on the topic what else would you like to hear about any case here its a very simple Computer Program it is not so complicated it doesnt however you know the complicated the mind and i go humans. In on the other hand you know some people may fear the you know that they are feeling a kind of a consciousness of from the a simple in and through the interactions so i think. That we need to depressing about how we can implement a more human rights question as. Humans can still control the brains of their robots but what happens if they succeed in giving machines their own consciousness through the use of advanced Artificial Intelligence. Ethics expert. Lets say that we have to deal with the situation before it gets out of hand. For me the bottom line is that people who talk about risks with ai should not be dismissed as all the luddites scare mongers very doing Safety Engineering just when you think through everything they can go wrong. With and you can guarantee that it goes right thats how we successfully sent people to the moon safely and thats our success for the species entering the future with im optimistic that we can create a truly inspiring future with official intelligence if we win this race between the growing power of the technology and the wisdom with which we manage it the challenges that in the past. Our strategy for staying ahead in this wisdom race is always been learning from mistakes you know 1st invent fire then after all accidents invent the fire extinguisher with something as powerful as Nuclear Weapons or especially. Fission intelligence or you dont want to learn from mistakes its a terrible strategy is much better to be proactive rather than reactive now plan ahead and get things right the 1st time which might be the only time we get. To end our journey into ai you can schmidt who shows us one of the worlds most powerful computers. He believes that ai will have an enormous and positive impact on society a digital paradise but other experts predict that we are on the verge of a robot apocalypse. In any case the development of Artificial Intelligence must be subject to strict ethical guidelines otherwise we may become slaves to our own technology. Environmentally conscious living.
