Can no longer be Donald Trumps music. Hold on, im hold on, im coming Today Today a federal judge in georgia ordered trump to stop playing that song by Isaac Hayes, because Isaac Hayess estate said it did not approve of the use and did not give the Trump Campaign Permission to play it. Of this would be one thing if it were just an isolated incident, but it is not. For Example Trump has already switched his music to the Village Peoples ymca, which i should note is widely understood to be an anthem of the gay community and which the Village People themselves have objected to trump using. They have also threatened legal action against Donald Trump. In fact Isaac Hayes and the Village People are just two of the dozens of Artist And Artist the states that have object did to Donald Trump using their music and that list includes abba, adele, aerosmith, the beatles, beyonce, bruce springsteen, celine dion, creedence clearwater revival, earth, wind, and fire.

Im stephen sackur. Wherever you live, however you live, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, is going to change your life in the next few years. Will it be for the better . Well, there are Tech Visionaries with very different views some benign, others, dystopian. But on one thing, the futurists can agree what will matter most to the outcome isnt The Machines, its the humans. My guest, neil lawrence, is a professor of Machine Learning who says we face a choice. Either we use alas a tool or we will become a tool for al. So, which is more likely . Neil lawrence, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you very much for having me. Its a great pleasure to have you. Now, you are a computer scientist, but it seems to me, as youve journeyed deep into the potentiality of Artificial Intelligence, youve also thought a great deal about Human Intelligence and what is so very special and unique about us humans. Can you try to put that into words . Yeah, i think, for me, what weve seen with a lot of the art
Neil lawrence, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you very much for having me. It s a great pleasure to have you. Now, you are a computer scientist, but it seems to me, as you ve journeyed deep into the potentiality of artificial intelligence, you ve also thought a great deal about human intelligence and what is so very special and unique about us humans. Can you try to put that into words? yeah, i think, for me, what we ve seen with a lot of the artificial intelligence debate has been a sort of naturally narcissistic in tendency to think about our intelligence. And what i think it does is offers the opportunity to introspect about our intelligence, to stand in a different place, to look at a different type of information processing, that that s done by a computer, and use our understanding of that, which we built and created, so we understand it, to look back and think about what s special about us. Is intelligence the right word to use when it comes to discussing what machines can do in this
The cost already off the charts. More than the gdp of some entire countries. And the dramatic rescue of a 52yearold israeli hostage grabbed from a tunnel in southern gaza, raising new hopes for the 108 people still being held by hamas. What were learning about how the idf pulled it off. So much to get to but we start in georgia where democrats are suing the State Election Board over new rules they say will sow chaos and uncertainty election day. The rules allow Election Boards in 159 counties to make what they call reasonable inquiries about the vote count before certifying the results, but the rules dont explain what reasonable actually means. The lawsuit alleges that even individual Board Members can have the power to delay certification while they hunt for Election Irregularities and then a Battleground State like georgia that could mean holding up not just the state results, but potentially, then, National Results as well. All of it coming as trump keeps fueling the idea that the o
To discuss that and the legacy of trumps term in office. And an eyeopening discovery that may save your life one day. A way to edit the genetic code itself. Newly minted Nobel Laureate tells me about the promise of crisper. But first, heres my take. More than 150 million americans made their own personal decisions when they voted in this years election, but it is now the unenviable job of commentators to explain the meaning of those choices. At the broadest level its fair to say that the vote was a repudiation of donald trump. President s rarely lose their bids for reelection. Only five in the last 125 years and trump has won as few electoral votes as Hillary Clinton did last time an lost the popular vote by a larger margin than when jimmy carter defeated gerald ford in the wake of watergate. And yet its obvious that the country remains deeply divided. After an impeachment, a pandemic, and the worst economic paralysis since the great depression, republicans overwhelmingly voted for the
