Off to another alleged poisoning while he was serving a jail sentence for encouraging people to take part in a pro democracy protest. Former u. S. President barack obama has delivered a scathing attack on his successor on day 3 of the Democratic National convention obama said donald trump has shown no interest in putting in the work and has sought only to help himself and his friends obama urged americans to vote for joe biden in the president ial election saying he has the ability to lead the country out of dark times for close to 4 years now he has shown no interest in putting in the work no interest in finding Common Ground no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends no interest in treating the presidency is anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves alan fischer has more from washington. There is a convention if you want unwritten that former president s dont attack incumbents in the white house but barack obama threw that convention out of the window with what was a very strongly worded attack on dont trump his policies and his threat as barack obama sees it to democracy you know he was speaking at the museum of the American Revolution in philadelphia that set the tone he suggested that donald trump was a threat to that moment that movement that created the republic of the United States he was suggesting that donald trump would do anything to tear down with democracy if thats what winning required it was a remarkable speech and it was a call for some considerable time it also provoked donald trump no hes avoided any temptation to live tweet during the Democratic National convention on the 1st 2 nights but as barack obama was speaking he was tweeting out and he was doing so in all caps criticizing his predecessor claiming that he spied in his campaign a Conspiracy Theory that has been debunked but interestingly enough as barack obama was seeing the donald trump doesnt listen to the evidence doesnt listen to science and likes to trade in conspiracy theories that was the moment the donald trump chose to tweet that out but it is remarkable even though there was no crowd there it is still one of those moments that will resonate not just for the next few days but through the years and when people look back at conventions in years to come this will be one of those moments. You know as President Donald Trump is to demand that all United Nations sanctions be reimposed against iran follows americas defeat on plans to extend an arms embargo against tehran trump says sex actually of state might pompei i will meet the u. N. Secretary general to start the process. Mollies career leaders are promising democratic elections within a reasonable amount of time and say they plan to set up a civilian Transitional Government the president was forced from power on cheese day. Opposition supporters in belo rusa vowing to defy warnings by president Alexander Lukashenko hes ordered Security Forces to clear the streets solved in nearly 2 weeks of mass rallies over disputed election results. The 1st person charged on the hong kongs new National Security that was back in court 23 year old kid is charged with terrorism and inciting the session his case is being seen as a test for hong kongs existing laws and beijings new education those are the headlines. Home. Right now at this very moment Artificial Intelligence is trying to figure out exactly who you are. Mimics our thoughts and emotions. Analyzes ourselves to decode our genetic material. No task is beyond its capabilities ai is even learning to drive our cars for us. Ai controls robots that work more efficiently for me to do. So where does this leave us in this new world of artificial minds. In the last 10 years we have developed an inseparable bond with our cell phones. Smartphone capabilities are bolstered by Artificial Intelligence which serves our needs whilst keeping a watchful eye. Network operators record our movements to the nearest meter as some applications geotagged users every 60 seconds. Surveillance cameras scrutinize our every move. A known entities siphon our data from Public Wifi Networks sensors in the roads we drive on record our journeys. Regulates traffic predicts the weather and records pollution levels. Our frenzied Online Activity generates an avalanche of data. Each minute we make 3300000 posts on facebook 3800000 searches through google and send 29000000 whats up messages. These torrents of data are stored in banks of servers all over the world in the era of big data your digital footprint is worth more by the day. In new. In paris 15000 participants spend thousands of euros to attend a trade show and big data. Events like these are big business and you dont want to be the one missing out. Modern ai systems fed by colossal data sets are Opening Doors to lucrative opportunities. Machine learning revolutionized development that is machines capable of teaching themselves without human input. Over the last 5 years this technology has transformed ai research these algorithms are able to instantly identify objects placed in front of a camera but this ability to recognize as many potential applications. A paris based startup has developed new facial coding technology. This algorithm is capable of reading facial expressions which are so nuanced they may pass unnoticed to the human eye. The end point is commercial reactions are measured against different adverts to see which images are the most effective. Those who say they were an eco director sort of get 20 plus on the show back to those you johnny need to take a. Look nose or go eat. Them to still get to set a homicidal circle worst song. Possible. Or you wont get on the plane. And then a little more. Conscious sitting with your leisure what a shock is that bird or. At least this. Is your work. On the moon should or should us like to meet him so will i dont thats a valid reason soon. Before you are presented oh yeah. But it was going for saddam it was so critical. This algorithm is not limited to commercial applications. It can also measure peoples reactions to politicians it was tested in the last french president ial election cycle during a televised debate. For them all the not to take a break the news of a good movie. Could be cost efficient could you and i print it out if he did a con the deck usenet and a prison with. Me to prison was all negative. If you. Look on the data the supposed. To michael but didnt when my son he kept. It is just sit on the stuff. To make such an algorithm effective it must be fed millions of data points. The gods of the mega data world are the big 4 google amazon facebook and. We had a desire to see it in action. Here google has built its Largest Research center dedicated to ai outside of us with 2000 contributors hailing from all over the world. Google has always been excited about Artificial Intelligence and the use of mushing learning has increased rapidly in the recent years and it makes possible what was impossible just a few years ago. Machines are learning in a different way from humans so you need to see a lot of for examples to understand what theyre seeing on a photograph for example if you are teaching at a computer to recognize a kathryns image you need to show its a lot of examples and. The system would try to take a guess it was a new pictures and every time it would make a mistake for example mislabel a dog for a cat it would the just the burman theres a tiny bit and then after seeing probably a 1000000 off examples the system food learned to differentiate between cats and dogs as well as people do. When is my next making the next thing on your calendar is today at 1 pm its called context. He leads a team developing a next gen voice command assistant a project very much in keeping with the ambitions of big companies. Thanks to progress made with image and Voice Recognition the assistant can answer any questions a user could ask who print of this. Riso was created by leonardo da vinci. Translate this this might be right check out the translation. How many calories as it hath there are 95 calories in one medium apple. This Virtual Assistant slips into the heart of your home as a smart speaker. Descent gets better the more you use it it both learns from the interactions more personalized to words my needs but also i can teach things to the assistant for example i can just say ok google my Favorite Team is barcelona. Ok ill remember that you said my Favorite Team is barcelona and now your system to remember and then from now on i can simply say my team when is my team next game or things like that people do not need to learn how to interact with machines they cant just say you know you can just say hey you will order a taxi for me it makes the services and benefits are really to be adult about to all people ok google hows the traffic to my home. On your way home traffic is light as usual is 28 minutes by car ok will remind me to call mom when i get home sure ill remind you on your phone when you get home when dad works out there really at the human level or that the same way that humans interact between themselves then then these types of technologies is available to everybody. I have an optimistic view on the future and i believe as a tremendous opportunities seen Artificial Intelligence rest till in the early days of the field but weve seen that it can tackle some of the largest problems in the world. Knology has an ability to find patterns in complex data sets is that humans could never do alone so this has huge implications and the technology has an opportunity to help researchers in the different fields to tackle some of the most difficult problems in the fields of medicine transportation us. Me and elsewhere. To transport to the stars the applications for this technology seem limitless. To find more concrete applications he had to a so called smart town. On the way we noticed airports increasing reliance on ai systems to manage the flow of passengers. Planes themselves will soon integrate systems to monitor weather patterns altitude and fuel levels in real time to adjust the flight path. Managing the daily rhythm of life is a growing problem for urban centers. Dublin ireland is proud to declare itself a smart city having that heavily on an investment in ai systems for logistics. The old docklands are now the smart docklands a model for future urban development. And we are at the Silicon Valley of europe in dublin you just look at the dock runs here you know some people call it the silicon docks and weve got world leading Tech Companies you know within 15 minute walk youve got google with 6000 employees youve got facebook youve got eric b. And b. All trading x. And value for the city and building great partnerships in relationships on our Smart City Program as well. As lots of big trends like big data internet of things Machine LearningArtificial Intelligence what you waiting to do is take that data back you know crace insights from that data on and in almost real time make decisions based on that data and were seeing it across i suppose mobility and transport across waste across emergency responses and i think you know the true smart city is the city that actually can act on the data make better decisions and create Better Outcomes at the right time for its citizens. Some applications are quaint like this martin that notifies the local services that it needs to be empty for. Other uses are aimed at more complex problems like managing the flow of traffic in the town experiencing an economic surge. The council has installed cameras and sensors across a number of key locations. They record the flow of pedestrians bikes. Buses and cars. But how do they manage this huge flow of data. Brendan obrien runs the team responsible for traffic light operations. Many towns use a similar system but here adjustments are made in real time based on the flow of traffic every bus is equipped with sensors. Every 20 seconds every single pulse reports tools for that is what its doing what route is it on is it in congestion is it stopped or that will stop. Will see the slowdown in those movements and that will actually allow operators here to the fact that those problems which the buses are experiencing but that in turn means that all their traffic is experiencing as well i so whats happening this morning it looks a bit congested there in a few patients yeah the data showing us actually suggested here this morning. As well here so that this should become it if you are here and im sorry long as q at the moment is not an actual question our system is south learning south calibrating system most of the time the system works away in the background by itself and ultimately the system still requires some human input to manage effectively but theres another great technological leap forward on the horizon a piece of software that will predict problems before they arise. Predict whats going to happen next you see all these vehicles coming in you know. We go for the next half an hour and say oh i think here will be congested here will be congestion unless we take some action thats kind of using all that information and using multiple data sources to really find a passion and find a pattern they can then see what to do next the city authorities are sitting on an enormous pile of data but they dont have the means to fully utilize it. They have therefore joined in partnership with i. B. M. Which opened a research station just outside the city in 2011. Once that investment is made then you can do things like sensor rising entire Road Networks and actually collecting that data and then once you have it then you can actually start applying Artificial Intelligence to that data to make predictions to make suggestions as well. Data scientists are the backbone of Ai Development they are constantly refining and analyzing a huge range of inputs to find hidden correlations amongst data sites. I mean just a lot of they took from various sources. The main challenge is that the data are very heterogeneous. Each tells you a small part of the complete picture. Its very hard for us to tell you know what has happened so we may be able to detect that this road is blocked but the precise reason why that road is blocked is often obscure. Often the solution lies in adding a new source of data. I. B. M. Has begun integrating posts made on twitter to its algorithms data feed that twitter often allows you to associate geotagged tweets about an event such as there was in a concert in 70. People are leaving this area with the information that this whole area a city might slower travel times than usual so this heard of in order to provide the explanations that twitter is for use. So a lot of Artificial Intelligence now i think is comes down to making predictions saying this is going to happen and then leaving it to the person to decide what to do about that as we go forward well see a lot more solutions. As opposed to just predictions Many Developers are hard at work creating programs that leverage predictive technology. So. This team is working on an ai assistant for drivers like. You have the event detection in the video stream right yes so we have something to produce for the company and what we want to provide here is. A system that gives information thats relevant to you in the context of the strip so the idea is essentially a companion that watches over you like a Guardian Angel that sees all of your behaviors because this only some advise thats relevant for you. Just detected something. It seems youre going to u. C. L. C. Field is that correct. Yes. It should enter you see. Is that ok can you explain to me why because the internal gates. Can i suggest the best parking spot to you that would be great yes. System can into it what the user needs without having to ask a direct question. As they talk coming from the car and from the driver its like the car has been what trips ive taken in the past where i am i had to know but also a lot of data from the environment id like traffic situation weather situation maybe even data from social media all the publicly available data whats the camera in front of you so we discussed what i would be able to detect certain conditions of the driver and included disc conditions you know what i model and expand our hes Communications Strategist so i still really state of the driver so if you can detect that somebody has a lot on his or her mind its the companion may use that information to be more proactive situation but here its really for cost and not distracted. Ai wants to be your best friend a friend that reads your emotions and counsels you guides you. And follows you. It seeks omnipotence but whether this will be for better or for worse remains to be seen. Head north in search of the cutting edge of digitally enhanced medicine. Finland was an early adopter of Data Driven Health care. Ai is becoming a key asset in providing treatment. His General Hospital the largest to begin with is developing an algorithm to efficiently process patients. Marcus less can in was an early advocate of such research. His unit deals with premature births that weigh less than one and a half kilos whose lives lie in the balance. Of the 13. Years. We have collected data for several years actually over a decade money today the heart rate rate oxygen said to raise some Blood Laboratory values we are trying to develop allegory terms that could detect the different the d.
