In the construction industry, we have a lot of waste, a lot of greenhouse gas emissions and a lot of resource depletion. so we use a lot of raw materials to build our buildings. we also use a lot of energy and greenhouse gases to produce our building materials. we also waste a lot of our materials when we demolish a building to build a new one. so instead ofjust bringing this waste to landfill and then extracting more raw materials to build the new buildings, why dont we try to deconstruct a bui...

We use already existing photos like google street view, for example, so that we can use the algorithms to automatically detect which materials are in the buildings. and so we digitise the building stock. it was a summer project for her students which really brought this idea to life, giving rise to a dome entirely built from waste materials. they disassembled an entire building in two days only, and they also assembled this dome in only two days. and then in between the two, we taught them about...

London’s landmark legislation to rein in the excesses of the internet is a litmus test for the UK’s post-Brexit era.

Job seekers who used an artificial intelligence tool to help apply for jobs were 8% more likely to get hired, a study found.

This is a -- >> i tell you, i mean, i dont want to put words in your mouth, but i think section 230 has become a suicide pact. we have basically said to these companies, you are absolved from liability, make money, and theyre at it in overtime. and deaths result from it, and we have a responsibility -- i think the committee really spoke to it. we may see it differently, but on a bipartisan basis, and ive spoken to senator graham and immaterial to make sure that when we agree it also is publicize...

Have a responsibility, i think the committee really spoke to it, we may see it differently on a bipartisan basis and spoke to senator graham and when we agree it is also publicized. we both feel very strongly this committee needs to take on this issue. i hope we have your support and the support of the president when we do that. >> you certainly have our support with respect to finding a better way to get social media companies, whether its civil or criminal, to take these kind of things off the...

I spend all day making decisions, and they’re not always good ones. Could an algorithm do a better job of deciding what’s best for me?

Algorithms. >> thank you. senator graham. >> welcome, attorney general. ill do something different, ill try to find consensus where we can and see how far go. do you agree that the wagner associated with russia should be a terrorist organization in accordance to u.s. law? >> i think they are an organization thats committing war crimes, an organization thats damaging the united states. i think theyve already been designated as a -- as a -- >> criminal -- on. >> tco. >> i want to go up a notch. >>...

Basically makes sure that any user data or algorithms on a social media app are not controlled by an adversarial regime, such as the chinese communist party. in this case of tiktok, it is owned by a company called bytedance and bytedance is beholden to the chinese communist party in those two respects. theyre concerned about big tech, but it is a bridge too far when you talk about their children or even their own user data or their content being ultimately controlled by the ccp. >> congressman, ...

So, instead ofjust bringing this waste to landfill and then extracting more raw materials to build the new buildings, why dont we try to deconstruct the building carefully so that we dont damage the materials and then build new buildings with those materials? to do this, all the individual materials need to be carefully documented. sounds like the perfect task for a machine — faster, more accurate, and less human effort. we go and scan the buildings. we make photos of the buildings. we use alr...
