But these machines and in some sense, do. They have an explicit internal model welcome to hardtalk, of what their objective im stephen sackur. What is the most serious existential is and they can figure out how to achieve it. Threat facing humanity . So there might have the goal of winning a game of chess well, many of us might point and they can figure out how to do that and beat humans at it. To nuclear war or climate change. Learning what about that word, learning where does that fit . So these days, following actually but some of the greatest minds a recommendation by alan turing in the tech sector are looking in 1950, we built many of the ai in a very different direction. Artificial intelligence, system, not by programming them warned the physicist explicitly, but by training them. Stephen hawking, could spell the end of the human race. So we have general purpose learning algorithms that take examples my guest tonight is stuart russell, from the real world and then a globally reno
and if so, how might that happen? we ve already seen some service-based and manufacturing jobs turned to ai in a big way. but what about other industries? can ai replace journalists or news anchors? perhaps it already has. anderson cooper: because what you just saw and heard a moment ago was not actually me. this is me, anderson cooper. anderson cooper ai: and i am an ai-generated anderson cooper. anderson cooper: that wasn t my real voice. and i never spoke the words you just heard. we asked a young student in california to create a fully end-to-end ai version of me. looks like me sounds like me and it didn t take him very long to do it. anderson cooper ai: this ai version of me was created in just a few weeks actually, with open-source tools. anderson cooper: and remember, this technology is still in its infancy. it s only going to get better and faster and more accurate, which raises all sorts of questions, like how will we know what s real? anderson cooper ai: and what is
if you have just joined if you havejustjoined us it is time for the top business stories. we start here in the uk where in the next few hours the bank of england is widely expected to raise the cost of borrowing for the twelfth time in a row. the quarter percent rise most economists are predicting would take the bank s main interest rate to 4.5% the highest it has been in almost 15 years. the big question though will it be enough to start to get inflation, which is still running at more than 10% a year, under control? let s speak to katharine neiss she has held various roles at the bank of england and is now chief european economist at p gim fixed income. good to have you on the programme. iassume good to have you on the programme. i assume you are with the majority believe we are looking at a rate hike today of another 25 basis points. today of another 25 basis oints. . , today of another 25 basis oints. . , ., , points. that s right, that s the consensus p
is expected to spend the night on monday in anticipation of his tuesday arraignment. it goes something like this. i want you to assume that the 2020 election concludes with biden beating trump. in fact, in my hypothetical biden beats trump by the exact same numbers that biden did be trump. in the electoral college is 306 to 2 32 in the popular vote percentage. it s still 51.3 to 46.9, meaning joe biden garnered 81 million votes and donald trump 74 million only in my alternate universe. trump accepts defeat. there s no perfect call to brad raffensperger. john eastman. he never gets near the oval office . mike pence is not leaned on. no alternative slates of electors are ever assembled. january, 6th. it passes like any other day. there s no rally. there s no storming of the capital. and on january 20 donald and melania trump. they attend the biden harris inauguration. there, there. he s not happy about it. he s grumpy. but he s physically there. and as a matter of fact, when th
the same again? what we were seeing was the emergence of something called generative ai, and although this was only a tiny part of artificial intelligence as a whole, it got us all talking about the possibilities and the risks. to the evening, when we re watching our favourite streaming service and it s recommending what to watch. but suddenly, people were interested and fear seemed to transcend excitement. and next week, world leaders are going to be meeting at bletchley park, the world famous computing site, for the ai summit, to discuss all of the issues that al has kicked up. so, we thought we d give you a reminder of some of those issues, plus some of the benefits of letting computers learn from billions trillions of pieces of data. we start with ben derico in chicago, and then marc cieslak s in scotland. ai art has taken a massive leap recently. i mean, this one sold for over $400,000 at an auction at christie s in 2018. with image generators like dall e and stable di
