This is what suny. She is a hologram. And this is akihito condo her husband. Hello. You look how are you today. I love culture ends. Meet cool is a simple form of Artificial Intelligence and for a 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 condo married mico at a ceremony in tokyo he placed the ring around the wrist of a me coup dall he now keep it all in his bedroom. Condos relationships with real women have been painful so he chose a virtual partner. Were generalized i love her but its hard to say if she loves me for them because its the one that still if you asked her no i think shed say yes. You. Cool and akihito condo are an extreme example of the relationship between people and machines. 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. 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 meet 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 a dance where he outlines his vision of the role that Artificial Intelligence may play in our future. If you. Choose. His presentations are wide ranging and thought provoking. Not. In the near future perhaps a few decades from now we will for the 1st time have a i can do much more than people can do right now on their own was willing schemata and we would realize that the majority of physical resources are not confined to a rather small biosphere. Isnt in our solar system thats theres a lot of material that can be used to build robots we could develop robots transmitters and receivers that would allow the ai to be sent and received the speed of light. We could already do this in a laboratory c. S. I. Me and as of this would be a Huge Development has the most important since the beginning of life and earth tree in 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 and did any good. In putting then they used Ai Technology to create a new diagnosis. Yet for you was the only way i literally saved my life when you think of all. The diagnosis took all of 10 minutes a human expert would have needed 2 weeks to produce a similar analysis. Ai 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. Simply some more. Finish and an end. Not only need. The limitations on fluids and i was not. There i told intelligence thats a skill. Points down for if you can move theyre going to be. Good then we need a whole arc. And this is the same. Bullet followed were going to leave and some where to but. 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 dont know why but i know she will tell if we 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 greater doctors were no longer necessary if Ai Technology could improve or work or even take over his own you know. 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 schmidt who are carrying out research on the use of ai in medical diagnostics. The swiss president lambastes a 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 on that just say im. Here and its exciting to see how this new development will be able to help people to live longer earn healthier lives as labels you mentioned. We travel to stuttgart to see how Artificial Intelligence works in practice in hospitals and Nursing HomesComputer 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. Playing about 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 a robot simply cant do that. Its who doesnt think any kind of a button is a set 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 coffee no thanks thats very kind of me here were coming choose. 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. And the frog available 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 the grading i believe that we are now at the beginning of a major learning process weve been on some im from and this is torsion down foregrounds. 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 IntelligenceResearch Center there. Are desert rats your own volatiles people are rushing to get into this new technology. Like theyre running for the ai train before it leaves the station. I know with no one that will happen over the train is headed off. But Everyone Wants to be on board i 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 heres a hypothetical examples of ice to you that say that assume with Chinese Technology experts go to the countrys leaders and says weve now won the ai arms race against the us that will have an excellent 1st strike opportunity for the next 6 months i know then work for the window of opportunity will close suit for the next 6 mo not a bank it is a site and starts with country not some version i could imagine for example that this might involve Delivery Systems that would be armed with biological warfare agents just keep these mechanisms to dennet top the opponents territories and spread pathogens like the a bowl a virus or anthrax bacteria its part of it on part. As well as from our country the forefront of this also we may 1 day see the development of intelligent weapons of mass destruction that could break through traditional Defense Systems for the not for sure and if that were to happen it would definitely increase the chances for conflict hes attention to keady creaks im tights really resent this because ing. 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. And many of the Business Executives and academics simply dont want to deal with it which is a huge theres. Some are concerned about messing us proposal and would prefer to turn it over to experts for further evaluation. Or schools for those weapons by the way we have to stick with this. Actually measure their out of the evidence of his goals and people are using this and use case to build it and give concrete this to our guy i would like to have. Is that kind of a consensus on the table if we want to open up to the point that we obviously have a strong disagreement about the whole alten almost weapon systems here and we can solve the issue like this with a voting process i mean we want these ethical guidelines to be a success when the 22nd january the whole world has already been talking about the issue 24000 scientists have signed a public pledge that they will not participate in that kind of research if the e. U. Comes with its 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 lovely 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 ai expert max tegmark. 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 futures discussions are for example cheap drones that you might be able to buy for a few 100 euros where you just program in the address of somebody in. The face of the tries there in the place in the face recognition kills themselves just perfect for anyone who wants to murder some politician for the ethnic cleansing on a given ethnic from the if this or. The slaughter bots becomes what its grown its going to have an absolutely devastating effect on the open society. Nobody any more is going to feel they have the courage to. Challenge the criticize anybody any science can be used for new ways of helping people learn 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 is something which really made the world better. Weve come to the ghana switzerland to interview youre going about his work with Artificial Intelligence. Schmidt hooper is codirector of the doll 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. Points out that right now the human brain has a 1000000 times more neural connections than the best ai systems. But. Are becoming much faster and could become smarter than humans in 20 or 30 years. And. Says 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. And whats your. Systems are capable of developing their own versions of emotion and affection than and for example if you were to give several of these systems that they could only complete by working together that they would learn how to do that you know artificial brains would come to the conclusion that to get the job done they have to cooperate with each other on something i can get and use a scene well. Into ensuring this interaction the systems would learn to rely on each other. 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 an even effect. On. 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. Just call 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 that. Should never be allowed to manipulate the people who can 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 a 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 even 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 i am looking for something on me. Why are. You are what time are you. At both pm we do not have the ball on the bell ball the quote that we have 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 the right ok great great have a great day. That was a real call you just heard is doesnt interest me is it ethical for a machine to pretend that its human beings perhaps not like nate we can already build machines that does. And trick us into thinking that something is human in a restricted scenario likes to duplex for example i think it would be a good idea to have a law. Requiring that when you get followed up for example or you. Buy an ai 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 peoples time and trick the most gullible thing people into thinking things. 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. Eugenia 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. On. A friend from moscow. In the last year or so were left together here and some cisco. Here. And i was working on mine so it was like kind of. Trying to figure out some cisco and you know this new kind of chapter of our lives. Heres a visionary and i just really. Want to. Get a visa and last one together. It was crossing the street. Held the next night in a car accident in moscow like for a mouse helped o
