And criticised uberfor using automated decision—making without enough human input. this is a cautionary tale of what can happen when too much responsibility is given to al to make hugely significant decisions about people. so, this was a robo—firing case, where basically the ai decided that some drivers had spent too long waiting for products that they were going to deliver, and that there was some fraud implicated in that, that they were ripping off the company. uber said it understands deactivating a driver's account is a very serious decision, and that specially trained teams are involv...

Ai development is mostly focused on mastering existing human skills. but could the technology take machines beyond human? hi, lara. hi. good to meet you. thank you for having us. come on in. thanks very much. neuroscientist alexander huth has spent a decade trying to understand how the brain works. if we want to build intelligent machines, maybe we want to make things that act more like human brains. so, that's kind of what got me into neuroscience, actually. this year, his team had a breakthrough. using the same ai tech that can understand language, they've built a computer that can read mind...

Right? that's our scientific goal in the end. we want to know, how does the brain work? how do our brains process language? how do we understand ideas? how do we think? sounds great. but what happens if it ends up in the wrong hands? some people are scared, or think that the thought police is coming. ithink... you know, i think it's a fair reaction to this to say, like, "this is scary. i don't want this to happen." that was kind of our reaction, too. like, the first thing that we thought when we got this working was like, "this is fantastic. "it's working!" and then, like, "oh, my god. this is...

Revolution is changing that. you have warned me not to get too close. it does look a little bit hazardous. this robot dog hasn't been programmed to walk. it's learning by itself. it's called reinforcement learning. what we've done here is, we've given it this task to try to kind of stand up and move forward. when it does well, one of the computer scientists gives it the digital equivalent of a pat on the head. i can see it's doing better and better. it's strong. i try and put that in its way, and it's stronger than i am. yeah. have you trained it to make a beeline for me? uh-huh. i feel like i...

Al's now beginning to master other human skills, like reading emotions. this is the basis of our technology. this is where we can actually analyse everything that's happening in your face, all the facial muscle actions that you're making, where you're looking. at nottingham university, michel valstar and his team have developed a system that analyses tiny movements in your face to interpret how you're feeling. the eyes are action five, which is your eyes opening. 0k. it's actually a little muscle that comes from the back of your skull and actually attaches to your lid and pulls it open. and wh...
