Also on the programme more questions for the government about who was responsible for moving Asylum Seekers onto the Bibby Stockholm Barge before it had been given the all clear for legionella. And Artificial Intelligence has been transforming how we live. But could ai one day be capable of reading our minds . But first, to the ongoing Recovery Efforts in hawaii. Residents say they had no official warning before they fled for their lives, raising difficult questions about the effectiveness of the Emergency Response and whether more people could have been saved. Early warning sirens failed to sound, according to officials, a failure now under investigation by hawaiis attorney general. Lets go straight to maui. My colleague, helena humphrey, is there for us. Good to see you again. First of all, you have been speaking to officials. Tell is the latest you have been hearing there. Tell is the latest you have been hearing there.

The team has trained the al on their own brains. As they listen to stories inside the scanner, the computer watches what happens. What sort of Brain Activity are you looking for . Were looking for Brain Activity thats related to specific ideas or specific words that appear in the stories. So, for example, whenever you hear somebody talk about parking a car, there are certain patterns of activity in the brain that will be present that reliably correspond to that kind of idea. And were trying to build up that mapping from this very large data set. The computer looks for patterns in the vast amounts of data from the scanner. With enough training, it can translate Brain Activity into words. So the lead scientist is listening to a story for us. The war of the worlds. The martians in the pit had turned the heat ray on. A deep, throbbing sound, a silver pencil of light. And a narrow ribbon of bracken and grass and trees and houses stretching as far as the eye could see, was scorched. And this
from driverless cars to sd printing artificial intelligence has been transforming how we live. but could ai one day be capable of reading our minds? lara lewington of bbc panorama has been investigating the potential risks and benefits of the ai revolution 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. this year, his team had a breakthrough. using ai technology that can understand language, they ve built a computer that can read minds. we scan people s brains with an fmri scanner while theyjust listen to stories. so we track how their brains respond while they re listening to hours and hours of stories.
