Now on bbc news, you know what, they shut down an its time for click. Unmanned drone, plane, whatever you this week, we have a ringside seat wa nt to unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it, and here we are for a castle in toronto. Tablets sitting with 150 dead people. We hear from the british teenager versus teachers in malawi, and it is who travelled to syria to join the Islamic State group at tech tko down at the gym. As his parents are found guilty of funding terrorism. Idid i did what i did, i made a big mistake, thats what happened. I tussle in toronto. Regretted what i did. It was a case that led to huge protests in spain. Five men jailed for attacking a woman and sharing video of it we all love a smart city. So around 18 months ago, when we heard that google offshoot Sidewalk Labs was to ta ke google offshoot Sidewalk Labs was to take over an area of toronto to build from scratch and entirely tech first neighbourhood, well, we hightailed it over there to find out more and excitement was in the air. The streets will come alive with the vitality that we expect from the greatest urban environments, in a way that has never actually been seen before. Ever since, it is fair to say that things have not gone entirely to plan. We have been back to toronto to get the latest on the project. Toronto, canadas project. Toronto, ca nadas largest project. Toronto, canadas largest city. Its waterfront is undergoing redevelopment. Sidewalk labs, a subsidiary of alphabet, the Sister Company to tech giant google, has partnered with waterfront toronto, an partnered with waterfront toronto, c partnered with waterfront toronto, an agency set up by local government to manage the whole redevelopment. Sidewalk originally had plans to build a so called smart city, on a 12 acre site in the rebuild area. 307 is sidewalks Test Facility where ideas for this development are prototyped. What you are looking at right here is a prototype for a new paving system for our streets. This one is a permeable paper, the water goes into the paver down into the ground itself. Up here you see a solar panel, testing the integration of light into the pavers themselves. Jesseis of light into the pavers themselves. Jesse is the development of urban designer Sidewalk Labs, he is showing off some of the tech it is testing before the Company Begins construction the quayside project. This one is testing a heating system embedded in the pavers and we then heat the paper just embedded in the pavers and we then heat the paperjust enough paver just enough so there is no ice platforms. This is the building raincoat, so it is a sunny day, it can adaptand raincoat, so it is a sunny day, it can adapt and provide more shade. If there is rain it can adapt to those conditions. Sidewalks plans involve robotic refuge collection and self driving taxis, all assisted by a host of different sensors embedded in the neighbourhood. The whole endeavour will be driven by data, data about the weather, about the number of pedestrians and vehicles, and it is this use of data that has created rising concerns in locals. There are just created rising concerns in locals. There arejust a created rising concerns in locals. There are just a couple of problems with this sci fi sounding project. Number one, it is way behind schedule, we did not unusualfor redevelopment efforts. Number two, ina redevelopment efforts. Number two, in a climate where the public is increasingly distrustful of biz big Tech Companies, the people of toronto now even what this plan to go ahead. Block sidewalk is a local Campaign Group that opposes Sidewalk Labss Campaign Group that opposes sidewalk la bss plans. Campaign group that opposes Sidewalk Labss plans. They are doing all this planning, bamboozle in people with stories about nice paving stones and. But the fundamental issues, is this for our benefit or alphabets shareholders benefit. They have never been answered, and i think i smell quite a large rat. Trying to build a neighbourhood at the heart of toronto, on the waterfront, that is filled with sensors and technology that will be able to collect our data, our every move, is something that is very concerning to a lot of people. How out concerning to a lot of people. How our children be consenting to sharing their data, their behavioural data . Sharing their data, their behavioural data . These sharing their data, their behavioural data . These are all kind of questions that i think a lot of people have in mind. Questions like these have increased tensions, and scrutiny of the whole project has intensified after several members of its Advisory Board resigned over privacy concerns. The project is also now facing a challenge in the courts. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is suing three Different Levels of government as well as waterfront toronto over plans for the tech driven development. What is it that sidewalk is proposing that the cc la is unhappy with or opposes . What we are unhappy with is that a private company is self regulating in an area that involves peoples constitutional rights, their privacy and their dignity. What the government in canada and ontario and toronto has done, has said Sidewalk Labs, you figure out how to act in the public interest. You self regulate the way in which you are going to be collecting and storing data. And we, those of us who live in toronto, or walk anywhere near or through this pa rt walk anywhere near or through this part of the waterfront, we are the lab rats. And number one, we never signed up for this, number two, there is nojurisdiction for waterfront toronto to do this, and number three, there is no protection whatsoever by law of the data that is being collected and manipulated and stored and used in whatever form it is going to be used. Privacy and data, there are some huge concerns around privacy and especially data about what happens to it, who will manage it. Government, who has oversight of the data. This project is fundamentally about protecting everyones privacy, it is built on the established laws we have in canada. It is not asked that is planning to manage or make money off the data in this neighbourhood, is actually proposed that it is an independent non profit Public Sector entity, we have co altered in urban data trust, that will take response ability for managing and using the collection of data. Sidewalk hasjust using the collection of data. Sidewalk has just submitted its thousand page long master Plan Document that outlines what has in store for the quayside project in more detail. Waterfront toronto says it will open it up for public discussion. I think you have a perfect storm, timing, players, actors and a Pressure Point on projects that could be a lighthouse of how you solve these issues if we get it right. If we get it wrong, then that would not be good. As more people become aware of the kind of data that is captured by big tech outfit, and how it is used, concerns around privacy mean decisions made in toronto could end up having ramifications for future Smart City Project around the world. That was marked. Big Tech CompaniesOffering Services for free in turn written by data. It is a familiar theme from toronto to timbuktu. Originating in silicon valley, for some this type of business transaction has come to define the age we live in, and its consequences are good and bad, are onlyjust beginning to shakedown. We have been looking at some of the most influential thinking in what is being described as surveillance capitalism. We freely give out our personal data every day through the apps on our phone, conversations with smart home assistance or other so called Smart Devices like toothbrushes and vacuum cleaners. It seems like an inevitable and perhaps cheap price to pay for living in a digitally connected world, giving us access to free services, like googles surgeon match, and social media sites like facebook. But the data we are giving away for free about our everyday lives is very valuable, and it is exploitation if exploitation is the basis of a new economic paradigms which one author calls surveillance capitalism. She presented her book in cambridge, also known as the uks silicon valley. What surveillance capitalism does, is it claims private Human Experience, private Human Experience is unilaterally claimed to be brought into the marketplace, where it is translated into behavioural data. This behavioural data is combined with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to create predictions of what people are going to do with their day, and what they might live. Professor zuboff detail how this capability to make money from behavioural data was first discovered by google when the company was struggling in the wake of the. Com crash at the at the term of the millennium. To boost ad revenue google mind its own exclusive data logs for the digital exhaust of peoples Online Search behaviour. Google worked out that is this extraneous data was available as a valuable and the ability to process large amounts of data came the ability to discern transient peoples behaviour. This led to the development of highly tailored online advertising. Everyone is familiar with this. You go online and you search for tennis shoes, and then the next day you have ads for tennis shoes all of your pages. Those advertisers are buying googles predictions about what were going to do in the future. Professor zuboff says these predictions have opened up a world where companies are even able to experiment with modifying Human Behaviour without our knowledge. In 2016 googles spinoff niantic created the wildly successful augmented reality game, pokemon, with people running around collect different pokemon. While it seemed benign on the surface, professor zuboff says it was designed as an experiment to see how people could be herded towards commercial targets and collect data from its users. Pokemon go figured out how to direct us, out of our awareness, exactly to those places where pokemon go would get paid for ourfootfall. Those places where pokemon go would get paid for our footfall. So those places where pokemon go would get paid for ourfootfall. So it those places where pokemon go would get paid for our footfall. So it was an experimental vibratory on a giant scale, for the kind collaboratory ona giant scale, for the kind collaboratory on a giant scale for the kind of surveillance capitalism that learns to intervene on our behaviour, to direct it to the places that make the most money for surveillance capitalists and their customers. The most predictive behaviour comes from actually intervening in peoples behaviour, intervening in your real life, intervening in the state of play. And subtly always designed to be outside of your awareness. Subtly shaping your experience. Professor zuboff is asking us to consider the su btle zuboff is asking us to consider the subtle implications of surveillance capitalism on our lives, comparing it with the impact of industrial capitalism. Industrial capitalism may have less of mark on our natural environment, but perhaps we need to left a mark on our natural environments, but we need to consider how, left unchecked, surveillance capitalism could impact on our human surveillance capitalism could impact on oui human nature. On our human nature. Hello and welcome to the week intact. It was the week that facebook announced its new crypto currency called agro three. This will allow smartphone payments across the world, and will be governed by Companies Including mastercard, visa, uber and spot a fire. Some lawmakers have already raised concerns.

Yes, of course, they want to make us exercise more but they also aim to help us get injured less and sometimes, even have a spot of fun as well. Some of the latest gadgets certainly dont bull any punches. A set of connected boxing gloves. Now, the centres are embedded here, there is one in each hand so they can track how many punches you make and also the force of those punches. There is eight rounds. Fight cab hopes to get you fighting fit by running you through a variety of workouts in the art. The accelerometer based sensors track your moves in real time, recognising the difference between the warmup exercises and when you are pulling. Probably a good job this was a 1 way matches my lack of skill was pointed out by a professional boxer who happened to lend a hand. Ok, this is how you do it. Although the wraps are the pivotal part of the kit, there are options for an entire set up with punch bag as well. How good teaching boxing do you think this is for someone boxing do you think this is for someone whos boxed before . You start off by kind of doing it at the lower level because obviously it has levels, so start off at the lower levels, so start off at the lower level until that becomes co mforta ble, level until that becomes comfortable, like anything else. It will take time and dedication and its easily accessible to learn, as long as you take it in fun. Or maybe you prefer a simple spot of weightlifting. This is a connected kettle bell and it has six different weights built into one device. You can change them byjust pressing a button. Jacks jocks uses a rotated way to stacking system. It mocks in the number of baits needed to create your chosen weight, ranging from five point five to 19 kg. One charge of the device will last you up to 14 days. It synchronises to a mobile phone up where you can keep track of all the sets and wraps that youve done as well as notice how much rest youve taken done as well as notice how much rest youve ta ken and done as well as notice how much rest youve taken and then you can keep on competing against yourself. Meanwhile, away from the blood, sweat and tears of this gym, ive been looking at something a little more scientific as well. Here at the university of brighton Sports Science physiology lab, there is all sorts of kit and this rather intimidating looking treadmill could be used to help analyse my gate but instead of doing that, were going to head outside with these, which are the gate of sensors. Inside them, there is a gyroscope, and accelerometer, even a barometer but its not about the hardware, its the data that they are actually collecting which is important and how that can be analysed to help me move better. And the new algorithms doing that are being used here for a collaboration called the sub to project to try and help elite runners break the 2 hour marathon mark. Lets go. It seems i wasnt quite as wonky as i thought i was. When we look at you, you are fit and a good runner. Not elite for sure but not at specific risk to anything that we would do is fine tune. My colleague as i run like an elephant. Do not run like an elephant . Can i tell i do not. Visually it is the case but im sure it is not the case. Visually, oh dear. But the analytics, thats the new bit here, not the hardware, do provide a clear report of your running. Contact time, strike and asymmetry other focus factors, allowing professional level tracking consumers although the current pricetag of 1500 quid, i cant imagine them hitting the mainstream just yet. And while much of this tech mayjust mainstream just yet. And while much of this tech may just seem overengineered and overpriced, maybe its just early days for a fully connected workout experience that can really pack a punch. That was lara. Now, it was an outrageous amount of money to give away for a competition, a 10 million prize, but some would say its a small price to pay because the challenge was to find the best way to teach children remotely. The Global Learning x prize at it was known was the brainchild of elon musk, in a name to cheech children maths and literacy in their own language that would deliver results as good as it would deliver results as good as it would have been if they had the chance to go to class. The results have been impressive. Last months in los angeles, two winners were announced picking up 5 million each from elon musk himself. Dan has been back to africa to talk to one of them about what they achieved and what might be next. Clock crows. The walk to school and back to where it all began. It was here in this village where seven years ago, 1 billion handed out its first devices, before any of these children were born. Some of them are still in use. Andrews charity is now working with partners in south africa, uganda, the uk, tanzania as well as across malawi but to its founder, this place is special, as is winning the xprize. On a personal level, we just felt enormous gratitude. We built on the expertise of so many people from around the world. Obviously 5 million is very useful. Its really given us this opportuni
