What is human khan learnt from the great. Cause of learning. Not forgotten to w. s november focus. This week on global Three Thousand we head to a Paradise Island which is also a popular destination for cruise ships how does that work. In kenya the outlook is bleak for many young people but now some comic book heroes are coming to the rescue. And new technologies are making us question one of our most
important senses can we still trust our lives. We all have pictures in our heads and they can be extremely powerful we process images Sixty Thousand times more quickly than we do written words they arouse our emotions they can move us make us laugh feel happy or sad. But images can also be deceptive and they can be manipulated now even moving images can be altered making it possible to create extremely authentic looking fake news videos. Have decided to resign from the of the president decided to resign from the bears of the press. Is the next generation off a commute on the left trunk space but his facial expression and words are actually being generated by an actor. Animation Software Developers like haile are busy
perfecting the Technology Behind such High Resolution facial mapping. Customized. Fourteen thousand to create these hyper realistic images. You can see cookies screwed up face that we just photograph and you can see here its all rendered in three d. And whats really effective about this device is that it even shows the pores we can zoom in here and see all the lines on his face. So i can. Team of developers arent interested in creating fake. Theyre focused on creating new communication tools. Possible for anyone to create three dimensional avatars for use in various applications for instance in the film industry. Could generate a new video with my features mapped onto someone elses and of course i could also morph my face on today is so i would actually look like them and have human under the Specialized Software creates a template which captures facial expressions in three d. This mosque in the me manipulation is needed its even possible to use regular photo however theres no way to control how people. Look. At hasnt been abused much to create fake news but i have no doubt that that will happen theres already a lot of software that people are uploading to the internet which people can use to map the face of one person on to someone elses. So the possibility already exists to generate videos of people doing things that havent happened in reality. The. Scientists in germany are also. Scrutinizing the faces
a group of researchers from the Commonwealth Institute for Integration Circuits are Teaching Computers to read Human Emotions what Technology Advances open up possibilities they also give rise to unintended developments. Of course of first and foremost you have to ask how these technologies are going to be applied. You have to set clear boundaries and establish press what is permissible ethically and legally. So yes we give a lot of consideration to the ethical legal and social impact of our research. Picked from. Hoover got us and his team are working with program similar to those in california they hope to develop Intelligent Systems which can detect for example when nursing home residents who cant speak are in pain but other researchers demonstrate how this technology can be used for less benign purposes. By lift
thinking and super imposing their own facial expressions in real time theyre able to turn famous politicians into their puppets with additional voice mimicking software you could make it seem as if not a mere fouth you know it donald trump were declaring World War Three since people tend to trust videos that could lead to horrific consequences if we conducted them at will it will be hard to tell whats real and whats not. But its important for us to research the subjects in particular here in germany and europe so we can better understand how these technologies work. This will allow us to predict what might be possible in the future. If we dont itll be left in the hands of major corporations like google and facebook. The potential dangers are already being acted upon developers are devising software to detect whether videos are fake or not. If
videos go viral in the internet you have to be very careful the most important thing is that people understand whats possible now. For better or worse experts say that these technologies will be a part of everyday life over the next decade in the near future we wont be able to say that seeing is believing. This difficult to be president manipulated video spread like wildfire on social Media Networks authenticity is the currency of our time so trust us and follow us on. Society. Many children under eighteen lose one or more parents due to war disease or natural disasters according to unicef in Two Thousand And Fifteen there were almost One Hundred Forty Million orphans worldwide.

Its all of the man behind she jazz and the multimedia well told Story Platform is rabbanit a bridge has lived in kenya for more than twenty years the idea for the project came in response to the violence that erupted in Two Thousand And Seven following the countrys contested president ial election he saw
a Younger Generation that felt manipulated by politicians and overlooked by the Mainstream Media burnette wanted to help young people improve their prospects it was a very serious study on a big scale done by a leading Academic Institution in the us it was a very robust study and it said that young women aged nineteen or less who follow she chose. Or so three times less likely to be married at the age of nineteen young women who do not function as we did was much more sort of mechanical problems so the outcome of us dealing with mechanical problems which in this case was how do you make some money how do you make a plan for the future how do you stay healthy the result was young people young women not getting married early.

And
today in global ideas we visit a small island off the coast of mexico. Every year cruise ships take millions of passengers to cozumel. But what does that mean for liverpool and wildlife. Our reporter Chris General Man Trap Will to cozumel to find out more about how people that are protecting their island paradise. But i mean this island is my home and im grateful that i get to meet so many people here tourists ships Cruise People from around the world. Well its a great place to work as a Biology Professor he has. So many nature so many species and they have to be protected. By discard the Save Beauty Area and the amazing wore off as being a i decided to believe thats my young. Men but yes for me cause im male is a thousand years of history and a World Heritage when you get. Kozel male lies on mexicos east coast the Caribbean Island is a favorite Tourist Destination five million visitors come here every year the harbor is large enough to handle seven cruise ships at any given time when it ships passengers disembark its like an invasion. Posing yetto is in charge
of Harbor Security hes been on the island for twenty years and witnessed how the harbor has been expanded to accommodate the giant cruise liners. The more not tourism is essential for the whole island its a source of income for everyone working and here. We depend on the tourists mark important to go get an up or down if that you know. But the tourist hordes rarely head into the Rain Forest Canopy covering the islands interior half of which is a protected nature reserve. For. Biologist Christopher Gonzalez wants to see the integrity of The Rain Forest maintained but these concerns the island. Is that a crossroads. I think. They were used to be
several years ago. But by now all of the through these that there were. Everything. There well go from what we have to do now is. That the reality. Theyre protected areas hard part of the. Hed like to see more visitors enjoying the natural wonders here for instance on Trekking Tours as long as they follow strict guidelines however most tourists usually want to see the islands Main Attraction its unique coral reefs but just how long theyll remain intact is a concern. Because the med is home to the worlds second largest coral reef more than five hundred species of fish live here some threatened by extinction its a fragile paradise and a valuable treasure. According to a study by the German Corporation for International Cooperation the deterioration
of cozumel coral reefs could cost the island around seventy Million Euros in income annually. If we lose Water Quality it will stay clear of the water and we look specious twelve percent of the person that gets the mail wont come back so we are working hardly in order to make the people more conscious about that and when when when i see people talking about tourist but also the guy that goes with the tories they are like our ambassador what they. Show what is correct the tories will do. Diving instructors right Mando Ramires is well aware of the relationship the Conservation Authorities know hes sticking to the rumors because he has to renew his tour card license every two years. Well she. Is one of the most popular places in cozumel because she is so water to recall use
beautiful only one. Metre the is full of starfish and usually that people are right to this place take the starfish out of the water take their sails and put it back maybe the other starfish is going to be there the next day that is the lack of education you cannot coach anything. This ignorance is upsetting to her i moaned thats why he only takes small groups down at a time and gives them strict instructions if you dont control your buoyancy while diving and you get close to battery if youre going to hit the reef maybe with your hands but maybe it would get back i mean if you hit the formation or at this point your something with your tank is going to be a big damage. Theyll break off and die. Most tourists from the ships spend only half a day on the island its not much time to experience the culture. Was a center of mayan religious culture the mayor herself is of Mayan Discerned which she wishes the tourists would take more interest in the Islands Culture and history. Two to cause amounts of unique geographical location and that well never be able to avoid all these cruise ships is a moment though they could.
