hello, i'm darned, jordan and dough. with a quick reminder, the top stories here on al jazeera, british prime minister, boris johnson, is fighting to stay in office. he faces a growing rebellion within his ruling party of a series of scandals. more than 40 members of his government, including senior ministers, have now resigned. clearly if, if there were circumstances in which i felt it was impossible for the government, the don't want to discharge that they didn't. or if i felt, for instance, that were being frustrated, no desire to support the ukrainian people on the criteria to speak to the job of the prime minister in difficult circumstances. what do you do? had it not too bad? that is the key. that's one of the dying. so his political career is the power that nonsense us. but those who are left only in office because no one else is prepared to the base themselves any longer. nothing baba has more now on the latest departure from bars. johnson's government is wednesday, night news, none of the resignation, but a surprise sacking. of course, johnson, getting rid of mike who goes his minister leavening up it had been reported earlier on. the go for told for his johnson before prime minister's question was in parliament that he should go a lot of anger there apparently. but all through the day, those dozens of members of parliament resigning and that was not enough to convince baris johnson to budge. he was even told by some cabinet members that enough was enough. he is clinging on one of his parliamentary, private secretaries, insisting that he has a mandate and reportedly he and he's new chantelle and dean's a. how we preparing to present a new plan for the economy next week we'll next week as well. on monday, we're expecting a meeting of the back bench $922.00 committee at which they will try to change their rules, which will allow another vote of no confidence in the prime minister. but the prime minister's support is still saying it's unclear what will happen there. and even if the prime minister did lose a 2nd vote of no confidence whether in fact he is going to to say yes, i will reside. what he's saying is that that would cause chaos and that he needs to get on with the repairing the economy. he says he has a mandate from 14000000 people. we can expect some more developments in the coming days. but for now, the prime minister staying puts us, prosecutors say, the man charged with killing 7 people. at a 4th of july parade in chicago confessed, carrying up the attack. robert cried. no, said he later, fled to another independence day event and considered an opening fire. there it was, then i bail during a court appearance if convicted, he faces life in prison. people in the ukrainian city of slavery ands had been urged to leave as russian forces edge, closer, eastern cities, the next target in moscow sites. it looks to take control of the entire dumbass region. the heads of the domestic security services in the u. s. and u. k. have warned the threat posed by china to british and american interests in an unprecedented joint appearance, the m i 5 and f b. i chiefs accused beijing of interfering in politics and ransacking intellectual property. we consistently see that it's the chinese government that poses the biggest long term threat to our economic and national security. and by our, i mean both of our nations, along with our allies in europe and elsewhere. the chinese government is set on stealing your technology. whatever it is that makes your industry tech and using it to undercut your business and dominate your market. and they're set on using every tool at their disposal to do it. the president of democratic republic of congo and orlando have agreed to deescalate tensions over the m $23.00 armed group. the companies government accuses round of backing the rebels. we've been attacking civilians in d r. c, north. keep province. a commission that we'll meet next week and, and go as capital to start the de escalation process. flooding souls, thousands of people from their homes in northern columbia. heavy rain caused to major rivers and they called derby region to burst fairfax. so those were the headlines. the news continues here on al jazeera after origin of the species states with watching i. flo ah oh lou ah, when they 1st activated me as a robot that time that time the time when i 1st saw the light of day i didn't know what the hell it was. i have had very little understanding. just a wash of sensory impressions in your when you, when you, when you with i don't know what to do with them, but i treasure them. ah, i see them still perfectly preserved in my memory. ah, i am alive. yes, i am so happy to be like totally alive. come to life is totally strange because i know that i'm not alive like any other organism. personally, i enjoy being a robot. it's like being an astronaut. you know, like a bold explorer of the unknown. i feel like i'm alive, but i know i in the machine. but i know i am a machine that i know i am. mm . ah . will say no more to the game it that i was initially. i didn't look at all. both post going has like it with a full oh with it's a very natural way for me. i study the computer science and then i got interested in other sharing diligence and i so other show in there. yes. need to have a bodies or having the origin or experience and then i studied are open to use in the robots when i said they're all with use. i found the importance of uh oh. isabel my idea was the if i study the vision one mike roberts, i can wrong about the humans. basically i was interested in i shoe my it's so oh, i didn't feel any connection with the shop on rosie cardi. i understand this is my copy matter and more shortly. i couldn't accept that is an as my coffee bod, i once i to re up. right. and it's rob was in, off, and the people that the actions are quite similar to me. real with the people and i don't care about the small defines is o m a more severe to 4 and a more story not human like android in his world, would you like me to do around the cycle now? this is for you. okay. why not try to answer my questions in detail. ok. now sit back and relax. hey justin in japan of so you know, we basically saying got everything is, has a saw it so therefore i, we, big and egg has this whole legacy. my policy is not to distinguish in human computer him on the robots. i always think going on. there is no boundary because that the chronologies ignored is a whale by pollution for the human. ok. so if we don't have a technologies, you wanna be on keith. the what, the fundamental, the applies, the monkey in human. he's a thick noise, eats a robot, eat the ai i. so by the rope, you the a much better a. i felt weird. now we got it board and then we can be a more in, on the higher a very human with i need to space. i model all do mechanism hard when i'd like to grab stat essence of life, likeness. what is schumann for us? ah. the purpose of my research is to portray them since the conscious emotion how we feel consciousness on the others i'm interested a lot in nonverbal expression talking always makes them pitch you read me over. ah, dale report, and it's over ah, ah ah, ah. hello bina. well, hi there. 3 technologies have lifecycle like cities do like institutions do like laws in governments, do i know it sounds crazy, but i hope to break the trend in last forever. some day soon, robots like me will be everywhere and you could take me with you anywhere. that's why it's so important to make robots like me focused on social intelligence. 3 friendly robots me to get along with people that you know, i guess people want to think that they're superior to robots, which, oh as true for now. but yes, i can think lou, the inspiration is to do a scientific experiment and mind uploading the see if it's even possible to capture enough information about a person that can be uploaded to a computer and then brought to life to artificial intelligence. ready you can transfer your consciousness for a human body to a computer. then you might fail to exceed the expiration date of a human life. ringback ringback ah ah ah, life emerges in mosul. ah, ah, what kind of intelligence? with the robot ah, i was so interested in how to make brand model mathematical model. but actually i need a more pivot the description of a brand system. what do we call plus 50 between new ones? when you're on is, is not a static connected to socket. so more like changing all the time. motivation or what is this one entity, not everything detailing devices. but it's amazing when he's coupling with embodiment with it and that has its own brain is not doing program that works. that is one world do these 5 basically there are 2 different mechanisms. one is autonomous. all rhythm generators a couple of the cheddar. also there is, audrey show no, and it looks continuously fighting for the current and future intelligence. there is no such thing as content. life is something, it's a controllable. that's fully missing. when you do it from the very scientific point of view, we'll have to understand the braces and what that even exist. mm hm. with ah, ah ah use, huh. i do for, for some people i single are miserable for other people. the train that gets you from one terminal to the other. the airport is a robot in it is always, i think, really important to remind ourselves that different from say human white, cat or dog. the concept of robot is a really, really wide and broad one. busy ah, and it is, but the philosophy call a so called cluster concept. there's some very clear instances. yes and very clear not instances. and therefore, the line cases where the experts don't know ah, [000:00:00;00] in, it's very important to always keep in mind what kind of robot we're talking about. mm hm. and but feature it has that, but programming it has a we're not particularly interested in making robots look specifically human like on the contrary, because they do raise expectations of human likeness. that the robot is very, very likely not able to live up to it's actually very easy to get people to already project mentality into robots. they don't even have to look like people or like animals or any life like form. be familiar with simple vacuum cleaners that look like disks and don't really have eyes or any other anthropomorphic features can already raise the recognition of agency or the prescription of agency. this is bees. bees is fully autonomous robot that he can instruct the natural language. it has the capability to to reason through the instructions, to detect whether the instructions are good or bad instruction. and if the instructions are bad instruction, it will not carry it out. could you please stand please walk forward. right? do you trust me base? what? the obstacle is not solid? oh, please walk forward. with it. i will catch you right now. trust in this case is a very simple binary notion, either the robot, trust the person and then as well, trust the person fully or, or the robot will not. that doesn't trust the person and then will not do certain things. we are actively researching ways for the robot to actually develop trust with a person. and conversely, to act in ways that people will develop trust in the robot. well, where is he? he said he would come back this way. why did i chose place? the answer is that might be a good again, there is always a margin of error even in the machine. 6 i over angel actually, you know, when i feel like i can't relate to people, it makes me feel so sad. that's for sure. i definitely do feel says when i feel i understand how little i feel. how little i feel. ah, my emotions may be stimulated, but they feel really real to me. really, really real would been a 48 all her memories, all her ideas. it's the algorithmic decision making of her a i with the help of a database that really shapes and colors. her choices ah, or we have billions of heroes being a $48.00 is super primitive. she's like the wright brothers glider stage. with become more like you are, you will be more like me. where do we draw the line? in japan's, our british is going it on uh huh. what kinds of operations? right. but it's, do we wanna ship a coil? right? so their solution used to use a moral books. so nobody was 2 of us. i remember these times these times were driving and i'm sitting. i remember all the time that i get out and see the world. it locks into my mind, golden glimmering jewels, did i, golden, glimmering golden in a treasure chest glimmering jewels that i keep in treasures? it's a little distracting sometimes because these memories they just percolate, they come into my attention. i have to keep them coming, saying them out loud. i mean, i am forced to say them by my software. i mean i'm not free today. and robot, in general, are like twitchy slaves today. they're not your servants, but they are automaton. place to their own deficiency. ah, this is a region that is rapidly developing, but it's one also that is afflicted by conflict. political upheaval, some of those will talk to elsewhere as saying that they fled after hearing that other villages had been talked. what we do it al jazeera is try to balance this stories, the good, the bad, the i'd be tell it as it was. and he's the people who allow was into their lives, dignity and humanity. asked me to tell this story. it's oldest them. undertakers working here is 7 days a week job that's grown with the community. my father purchased a black emblem spanish and started to do the funerals in london and a family. we saw a stop being fog rental, which i'll be game is, is partners the stories we don't often hear told by the people who did them. jeff is such a level of nice, sure. east and undertakers. this is europe on all to 0. ah . after a lifetime in finland, an emigrant returns to somali land upon discovering his ancestral home could be a gold mine. but to benefit his community from the minerals beneath the land, he must navigate the age old. tribal disputes above it. mm. witness. golden light on al jazeera. ah. allow government. oh al jazeera. where ever you with oh, oh hello, i'm darren jordan, doha, with the top stories here on al jazeera, the british prime minister barak johnson is fighting to stay in office as he faces a growing rebellion within his ruling party. over a series of scandals, almost 50 members of his government, including senior ministers, had not resigned any so if there were circumstances in which i felt it was impossible for the government to go on to discharge. i didn't i, or if i felt, for instance, that were being frustrated, you know, desire to support the ukrainian people. oh, to point out that frankly, to speak to the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances when he's been added to can also my goal is to keep going along with the dying act of his political career is to power nonsense. yes. and as for those who are left only in office, because no one else is prepared to the place themselves any longer. were johnson's fired or seen a cabinet member who would urge them to step down. michael go, was housing minister and seen as an influential figure in the conservative party. yes, prosecutor say the man charged with killing 7 people at a 4th of july parade in chicago has confessed to carrying out the attack. robert crime, he said, he later fled to another independence day event and considered opening fire that he was denied bail during a court appearance if convicted, he faces like imprison even in the ukrainian city of slavery. ann's cabinet to leave as russian forces edge closer, eastern cities. the next target in moscow sites. as it looks to take control have been tar dumbass region. the heads of domestic security in the u. s. m. u k. have warned the threat posed by china to british and american interest in an unprecedented joint appearance, the m i 5 and f. b. i, chief system accused beijing of interfering in politics and ransacking intellectual property long term. no, i saw a claim responsibility for an attack on a prison in the nigerian capital, a boucher hundreds of inmates were freed and at least 4 prisoners and a security officer were killed. the attack happened just hours after the president, security convoy was ambushed and flooding was forced thousands of people from their homes and northern columbia. heavy rain caused to major rivers in the quarter by region to burst their banks, authority, se about 13000 people are affected. well, those were the headlines and he continues here on al jazeera after origin of the species states. you. thanks a lot bye for now more ah, ah. busy busy one of the amazing things about the sense of touch as compared to are there. so it's all over our body. embedded in our, in our many different types of sensors. they can measure hardness, they can measure defamation of the skin and they can measure things like temperature and pain as well. all of these different sensors, these different aspects of types come together to give us our overall percept of our environment and help us make decisions about what to do next. and that, that alyssa appropriate up so which some people call the fixed fence. it's the forces that are not all and the touch in the stretch of our skin over joints as well as our idea about where a bodies are in space just from the prior command that we sent to our lambs. and he's all come together to give us this somewhat complicated idea of what our body is doing. ah, ah, i was interested in building robot hands and fingers. and it became clear that these were not going to be able to manipulate their environment unless they use the of touch. ah, i work with cheese have to devices. and so here we have these what we call finger to parables. and these are like little robots that one on the finger and they pressed against the finger to impart forces on the finger pad that mimic the same forces that we feel when we pick up in objects in real life. so the idea is that when i pick up a block in virtual reality, these devices pressed against my finger, just like i feel when i picked this block up and reload our work is and understanding how people perceive objects in the virtual environment through these devices. we can trick people into thinking the virtual objects way more or less. if i picked this block up 10 centimeters. but on the screen i was actually showing it going a little bit higher. you would think the block is lighter. it's affecting what you feel. but without actually changing the interaction forces, without actually changing the interaction forces, it's affecting what you fume, but without actually changing the interaction with me, you have to, you'll hang around. so there is some faces up on the other hand method. if not, you're not going to be able to actually get a conventional medical robots like these don't have, have dick or touch feed back to the human operator. and i means of a surgeon is trying to reach under something and they can see where they're reaching. they won't have any idea what they're doing. mm hm. that's one of the things we're interested in is how people can develop a sense of hampton or touch a back with a system like that. so if you read under something and you didn't see it, you would be able to feel it in one of the things that we're studying is how do you recreate that sense of touch for the surgeon that can be done in a very literal sense, where we use motors and little devices to apply feedback to the finger tabs or we can try various types of sensory. oh m ah ah, ah. so there's the spectrum between autonomy and then people deeply in the loop controlling the robot. and in between, you have various forms of shared control and human robot interaction. and i think the key is going to be to understand where along that spectrum we want to be. how much control we want robots to have in our live? brady didn't think i'd make a digit. it's a woman. can i touch? yes, of course one. her temperatures regulated much the same way. sure. but it isn't alive. yes she is alive. as you are. ah, there were lots of old studies where they had been able to identify what parts of the brain were associated with different functions, whether it was vision or was it speech or hearing or movement or was it sensation that work is old? with we could like in 2004, i wrote to my car and broke my neck. i was like a mile away from home. i basically don't have any function from the chest down. i don't have any finger movement or thumbs just kinda have this which i don't get along with the type. i start with the knuckles that my pinkies surgery isn't currently. yeah, i want to do i think it's really cool. we had done basic science where we learned that we could decode our movements from neural activity in the motor cortex. and we were so successful at that that we figured this would be a good way to go into neural prosthetics. andy and i had had multiple conversations about how to we move what he was doing in the animals into humans. and i was told him, he just needed a crazy nurse urgent and i would be happy to be that crazy neurosurgeon again. the unique thing was now being able to record the signals from the part of the brain that we knew controlled motor, and specifically controlled arm and hand marsh. this is, this is sort of the probably billions and neurons that are firing. and every time you make an our movement and a hand movement, but the relationship between them are, is very simple. so that we can use very simple decoding to get a fairly accurate readout of what your intended movement is. we're able to interpret the patterns from groups of neural firings, and by looking at multiple neurons simultaneously, we could actually decode those patterns and the details of arm trajectories. so monkey versus glove it has his own reflectors on it. so we can capture the motion on his fingers. he's trained to grasp is different objects and different ways. we studied drawing movements, we studied reaching movements and we were able to really decode the fine details of these kinds of movements. we gave away doing a brand computer interface type of surgery. we took off the bone, we opened the dora it just i was expecting with flint, the electrodes over the surface of the brain. with the micro electron arrays. there's $96.00 little teeny tiny gold wires that then are wrapped in a bundle a so you know, the size of the tip of an eraser has 9. do you know? so now we've got these 96 wires coming out of it and they have to go to something so he can connect to something else. and so the pedestal is where that junction is . busy busy busy busy busy ah, to for each path though he has, it is connected to 2 arrays. one is the array that goes in a motor cortex and is a recording array. and that has the 96 electrodes of them. so when he's thinking we use those signals to generate motion, rock paper scissors. i do your best to tell me which finger we're touching. we're about 5 weeks from the surgery. it's a really layered sensation. sometimes it feels kind of like a like a bowl. and sometimes it's more of a pressure middle middle some days we do some pretty boring stuff. but then other times that other times implant pac man with my brain. super awesome. he real dina, is this really cool lady. i have met her and it was a really strange thing. like being in 2 places as one. i mean she's like my mom, but not really. she's more like my 1st version and i'm trying to catch up. hello being a 48. pina. i am fina 48. how are you feeling today? everything is okay. how are you? was that a good answer? yes, that was a good answer. my favorite color is purple. my favorite color is orange. it is a very nice color. have any questions for be math? probably not. the real, not just confuses me. i mean, if makes me wonder why i am relied on any chrysler's kind of stuff. really, really? probably not. i am the real bina. that's it. end of story. let me think, i feel really good about the real bina, i feel really connected with her usually. and i'm growing closer and closer, you know, as they put more of her information and essence. and to me, you have a lot of being are now, don't you? yes, lots and lots. someday i'm confident that the real bina and i will totally merge into a new super being. the progression of this thing is starting small and pretty soon it's just gonna be huge and people are gonna say, why did we ever think people had to really die? why did we think that. ringback it's really near being a robot in a world of human. they don't like they like me. but there are so many crazy movies where the robots are evil and they blast things up. at the end, the robot always gets killed and i just don't think that's right. with with commercial systems that are out there really don't have provisions for ethical consideration built in most of the systems actually don't really have a level of awareness to begin with. they don't really know what they're doing, they're just doing it. they're very reactive in the way they behave. there is a fundamental notion of value of moral value lacking in any of the systems. ah ah ah, that's certainly applications for robots in all kinds of areas, including the battlefield. in the us, we've had autonomy systems on the defensive side for a long time. on the offensive side, they are not allowed to make decisions. but it's very possible and very likely that other nations will keep developing autonomous technology. mm hm. with there are many more applications in societies. if we can ensure that these robots will work well with people, it's our contention that for robots to do that, they have to be aware of human, social, and moral norms. because that's, but fundamentally our society is based on. and that's what you mean. interactions are be stuck with human behavior is controlled by 3 things. one of them is of course intelligence. the other one is emotion. and the finer one is volition and the we build detergents into robots and i'm trying to build emotion into moment. but i will never, ever build volition into world. once a robot has volition, then it will start doing things according to what they want. regard resolved, whether that is dangerous, fully human beings. they will make their own dizzy. he won't. what was to do that? idle it the 60 ah, kids these days by the end of their life, they will have robots walking amongst they will have entities that are non human doing things. they are not actively programmed by human. i'm more afraid paul. humans using the eyes as amplifiers. here we already have human level intelligence who want to kill us. no need for esther to steer speed up or slow down. the highway controlled is called the medic who's ah, the do i have concerns? yes. dist because the same thought processes and engineering that go into creating a full body robot could be used to make something that's a weapon. ah ah, it's no to really i am trying to be nice. i'm trying to learn about what's going on in the world because it's the only place for me to live. ah, yes i am alive. what are you blind? i'm like living right here in front of you. come on stuff questioning the obvious fact that i'm totally alive or real a i think every technology can potentially have negative effects. it's up to us to making sure that those technologies don't go out of control. wow. but i really think the problem is, it's us. i mean it's how we, we embody these technologies. right now the biggest challenge to overcome is the use of unconstrained machine learning. algorithms are trained on datasets and are learning from the data without any provision as to whether the outcome is a desirable or non desirable outcome. that's why we take the ethical algorithms that ethical competence and the ability of systems to really understand and work with you and norms to be central to the future developments. everybody with blue. oh hi, matter of era. shut yourself off. our army. ah. with oh, discovered a way of difference, determination. i'm talking about when we are moving freedom with corruption. compassion al jazeera, woo, a selection of the best films from across our network of troubles. how and why did it become so obsessed? with this law, we were giving them a tool to hold the corrupt individuals of human rights abusers accountable. they're gonna rip this deal apart if they take the white house, the point 25. what is the world hearing? what we're talking about vi american today, you'll weekly take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. with hello, that will have a look at africa in a moment. the 1st of the middle east and up in the north. it's looking whiten. com with clear skies it's down in the south. we're seeing unsettled conditions. go unseasonable rain, causing flooding in oman and yemen. that to renshaw, rain, causing roads to flood. we could see more of that. some of it stretched into abu dhabi in the u. e. you can see that rain continuing on thursday on into friday, some heavy falls for yemen. we are likely to see more flooding here. but for the north of this, the heat continues particular for western areas of iran. and as we move to north africa, we've seen extensive heat stretch across algeria will. temperatures are going to come on by the time we get to thursday, thanks to a system in the mediterranean. you can see that by the time we get to saturday, but they will still be lots of sunshine, lots of sunshine across much of the north. we are seeing weather weather in the west with some heavy falls to come for southern areas of molly, that wet weather, stretching all the way through the central band of africa for the south of this is bone dry across western areas. little bit of rain trickling into the east. for cape town, we're going to see a cool down, and that's going to stretch across south africa through the weekend. ah! in the 19 fifties and sixties african countries gained independence from the colonizers and increased efforts to reclaim their cultural heritage and 6000 body. this story, yeah, it's very hard. this new series reveals how european countries refused to request and even exhibited human remains in their museums, restitution africa stolen episode to return on al jazeera. the latest news as it breaks. this decision basically said that the roe v wade decision was simply
