This week, a phone is born and we are exclusively behind the scenes. Can Artificial Intelligence block the bullies . And driving monsters. Just across the water from hong kong, on the chinese mainland, lies a city at the heart of the countrys technological revolution. Welcome back to where stuff gets made. When you think of chinas electronic scene, this might be what you think of. Thousands of factories and millions of people mass producing billions of devices. More than 70 of the worlds mobile phones are manufactured in china. Their components, also made locally, as aust from the citys famous giant electronics markets, where everything is for sale. But all that industry is taking its toll on the city. As the buildings go up to accommodate the influx of businesses, this mob has come down to remind everyone of the price you pay for a rapidly expanding industrial economy. The middle class here is also consuming more power. As well as demanding something else, good quality home grown products. And Chinese Brands are rising to the challenge, with names like zte and huawei breaking out of china and becoming recognised and desired worldwide. One such grand is one plsu its already turned out a number of phones that have been compared favourably to samsung phones and this week it unveiled a brand new handset. With all the fa nfa re brand new handset. With all the fanfare of new phone gets these days. Are you all excited . The secrecy days. Are you all excited . The secrecy that surrounds these phones prelaunch is intense and its part of the hype. Look, its another black rectangle but as such it is really rare to get a look behind the scenes at the design, manufacture and the launch of a new device. But two weeks before the unveiling, we we re two weeks before the unveiling, we were given exclusive access to the inner workings of the production line on the run up to d day. Now im qualified to serve you pastries. They make loads of different types of phones in this factory. To keep the st as secret from the other workers, every thing happens behind the blue shroud of secrecy. Are you ready . Thank you. Come on. Welcome to production line 27. The phone sta rts to production line 27. The phone starts life as just a tiny camera there and then it is gradually assembled around this new shape the production line, which means by the time it gets to the end its a fully featured phone just about there. This is the reason china has come to dominate electronics manufacturing. The supply of a disciplined, low cost workforce. Each person here has one unique job which requires concentration, speed and precision. A single speck of dust in the camera lens and the finish phone will be reject it. What i found most surprising about this is its all people. I would have thought with this kind of high precisionjob these phones would have been built solely by machine, but its pretty much all humans. Each line can produce more than 90 phones and our. Its exhausting just watching this. An hour. Fortunately the staff get a two hour lunch break and also suddenly at 3pm. Bell rings this might look weird, but having seen how intense this job is and how much concentration you need, this ten minute break is invaluable. I think if i was doing thisjob id just want ten minutes to get my head down and close my eyes and reset my brain too. Now, these people are bringing together a design that has been anguished over, squeezed for efficiency and ultimately compromised to keep costs down. My meeting with one of the designers to get the inside track on how he has made this black rectangle ever so slightly different from all the others. For every new phone you come up others. For every new phone you come up with lots of different designs, like this. 200. But my word do you think weve achieved peak design now . What doesnt interfere with the final product is something that we cant change. We are still making some sacrifices in favour of the exterior, still a little bit. Such as . Actually the best place for this would it directly on the corner. In oui would it directly on the corner. In our design we have this hangover so this doesnt allow us to put this year. If you could get rid of one pa rt year. If you could get rid of one part of the phone, what would it be . Maybe the shell. Laughs thats the best answer back at the factory, simon would be horrified by what happens to his design. This is where an unlucky few phones are pulled off the production line to check extreme tolerance. It is not being dropped flat, is it . No. It is a more cool environment, five degrees. The components will be shaken little bit. Elsewhere, other test phones escape that big plunge, but instead are dropped 5000 times each. Others have their charge imports wiggled and buttons pressed 10,000 times. And then theres the tumble dryer. Only about 70 of the sample phones start surviving this rigourous testing would have been deemed successful. For me this is a fascinating book at how a phone is born and now that its being launched this small preproduction mine can expand once the company has an indication of how many orders it will get. And thats the secret. Not to produce more than you can sell. So when oneplus decided to take on the big brands, it decided to sell its first phone by invitation only. What was the thinking behind that . I would have tried to make it as available as possible. Being a Brand New Company and not making such a complicated product as a smartphone and being based here, we didnt really have the opportunity to test the product in all the countries where we sold it and adding to that we didnt know how many phones to make. If you end up having to many phones in your warehouse that you cant sell it so far. With the launch over, oneplus will nervously await the first reviews and, more importantly, the advance orders. And they will decide whether these people will be joined by hundreds more or not. Welcome to the week intech. It was the week that us automakers boston dynamics showed off this horrifyingly agile back flipping monster what . Facebook says it is testing a trust indicated to help stop testing a trust indicated to help sto p fa ke testing a trust indicated to help stop fake news and mario could be destined for hollywood nintendo are in talks with Animation Studio behind despicable me, about bringing the legend to the big screen. Hopefully it was better than last time videogames publisher ea was in hot water this week with its new star wars title. Characters like Luke Skywalker is and darth vader, gamers had to pay large amounts of credit. I do with real cash or by spending tens of hours playing. Due to complaints, ea originally reduce the number needed by 79 , but now needs to hold on all real world transactions. Finally, in competition with amazon and google, the chinese Search Engine giant revealed the voice controlled smart speaker. It has a detachable remote that comes with an led display, see you can see that wherever you are in the room. There is also a robotic arm version. The uks anti bullying week is now coming to an end, but behind closed doors, computer screens and even smart phones, the bullying that some encounter in the School Playground still lives on after hours. Encounter in the School Playground still lives on afterhours. After i did come out i then received Online Anonymous messages from an account set up to message me, telling me i should kill myself, because obviously they didnt agree with my sexuality. It destroyed me because not only was the bullying happened at school, it followed me to my home and my room, myspace where i feel happy and and my room, myspace where i feel happy and i am myself my safe space. Thomas moved schools and went on to become one of facebooks space. Thomas moved schools and went onto become one of facebooks anti bullying ambassadors, a scheme funded by the social network to train up pupils to provide peer to peer support within secondary schools. Its really important to have someone there because it is someone they know who they can come to. With the ambassadors being their generation, children are more likely to come to us children are more likely to come to us and know we are there for them, because we are their rage and we have similar. But with so many different places to communicate, the problem is hard to police, monitor and soul. As those at the frontline of dealing Cyber Bullying attest. Our concern isjust how of dealing Cyber Bullying attest. Our concern is just how awful that things are. Its very sad but we regularly see those kinds of comments. Go kill yourself. Those sorts of things, which i cant imagine would happen in a face to face environment. Imagine would happen in a facetoface environment. As the big and small players try to overcome theissue, and small players try to overcome the issue, one British Company has big ambitions. They want to get their software on every single childs device before they use it for the first time. They dont like to refer to their software as pa rental to refer to their software as parental control because they feel that could put people off. Some of the functions but could be considered that. For example, monitoring the amount of time your children are online and limiting that however you see fit. You can block devices and websites, but it is also planning on upping the game of what these sorts of things can do by adding Artificial Intelligence. By by adding Artificial Intelligence. By later this year it will aim to try to track the behavioural changes, so that they can pre empt any bullying before it actually happens. It aims to understand context, dividing triggered alerts for parents, rather than letting them actually spy. One of the ways that we identify when children are feeling sad and maybe even depressed is they stop posting selfies of themselves because theyve lost the self confidence. So our software is designed to pick up those trends and recognised the changing behavioural patterns. So we are identifying cyber abuse, bullying, extortion, grooming and other predatory risks. Great if it works but of course its all really about human behaviour. Culturally we obviously have an issue that young people believe that you can behave this way online. We need to send a message, it takes all of us to work together, educators, pa rents of us to work together, educators, parents and tech companies, to make sure parents understand that. So while none of the solutions may be foolproof, maybe these ideas together could make Cyber Bullying are together could make Cyber Bullying a re less together could make Cyber Bullying are less troubled in the future it is now. Vanities today. Apple has been massively popular in china, but that popularity has started to go down, mostly because of the increase in good quality chinese smartphones. That has caused a problem for Small Businesses dependent on the obsession with iphones in china. We have spent some time with one of the countrys unofficial genius bar workshops who have become dependent on the success of apple. No waiting for these migrants from southern china. 10 yea rs migrants from southern china. 10 years ago they moved to beijing to join the technology boom. For this family run business, they are linked to the rise and fall of the popularity of the iphone. They fix more than 10,000 iphones a year. Translation we can basically fix any problem, big or small. The Main Business to upgrade iphone storage. We have seen many customers. Many do not want to change their phone, but wa nt to not want to change their phone, but want to update storage. China and apple have had a up and down relationship. This is the second biggest market. But apple has lost a lot of its lustre in china to be until recently, they faced back to back declining sales. It is losing ground to chinese competitors. Translation other brands have ta ken competitors. Translation other brands have taken some of the market share from apple. That is why apple sales are not as good as they were. One possibility is it is much more expensive than Chinese Brands. At the same time, Chinese Brands are also made well and good quality, so many People ChooseChinese Brands. This means fewer customers for the family. Translation it isjust too expensive. Iphone eight is the same asiphone expensive. Iphone eight is the same as iphone 7. The only difference is wi reless as iphone 7. The only difference is wireless charging. Apple generates 35 of its profit in china. The launch of the iphone can marked a return to growth in the country. 10. Chinese made apps are dominating the market. Many users are now opting for cheaper Chinese Brands equipped with high end features. Translation people in cities with low consumption, four tier cities or below, choose cheap Chinese Brands. People tend to get lower ones. Below, choose cheap Chinese Brands. People tend to get lower onesm below, choose cheap Chinese Brands. People tend to get lower ones. It is still the fifth selling phone in china, but now chinese phones are moving into the international market. Some are selling overseas, like huawei. They are quite good. Two years ago, china was expected to overta ke two years ago, china was expected to overtake the us, becoming the biggest market of apple. Workers are hedging their bets. Translation how big a market share they will take in china is difficult to predict. If apple can change to be more attractive to customers, it will still have quite a big market share. No one can live without a phone. If you work on the phone industry, you will have a market. Even back when china was just 93 manufacturing the devices for other countries, it was still growing pretty Strong Technology brands to serve its own enormous population. Take wechat, an application used by nearly 900 Million People in china. It is a bit like whatsapp, but you can do so much more with it. You can order a taxi, orderfood, much more with it. You can order a taxi, order food, and much more with it. You can order a taxi, orderfood, and even get like on tinder. Date. Is in the smaller shops accept payment through wechat, even if they do not take cash. Even the. This is the easiest peer to peer Payment Scheme i have ever seen. The money is transferred from your account to that. Behind wechat is one of the Biggest Companies in china, tencent, possibly the Biggest Company you have never heard of. And just a race book and google in the west, they are trying to make sense and make use of all of the interactions and words and pictures shared on the Service Every second. The brand new Artificial Intelligence lab in shenzhen is full of young minds trying to apply Machine Learning to understanding images. They are coming up similar results we have seen previously from companies in the west. This application identifies different objects in a picture. At the moment, just rectangular books. But here is one that tries to work out what you are wearing, presumably so it can sell you more of the same. You see, as soon as you can isolate objects within the image, you can give them special treatments. Now, that could be for novelty reasons, a bit like what we have seen snapchat do, or more useful things, like intelligently applying different effects to different parts of the image, like lightening. Is a video chat, the faces the most important part. By isolating that, they can be turned into three new models which might form your avatar for times when the video link will not work. Sd. In when the video link will not work. 3d. In fact, they are working on the whole body here, identifying limbs and joints also forming part of the three dee reconstruction. 3d. Just dont ask to see the raw data. And for times when the video is not clear, or it is too compressed, here is how they increased the resolution, adding backin increased the resolution, adding back in missing detail by looking for clues of what was lost over several friends of video. But this laboratory wants to go further. Frames. Before the plane was invented, people could not imagine flying. Only after that invention do we understand it is possible. The same thing has happened with al to be instead of just same thing has happened with al to be instead ofjust improving efficiency, we need a big breakthrough going beyond imagination. If nothing else has impressed you, here is a new feature which will analyse your photos, write a description of them, and then wrapped them. Wrap. No, rap them. It seems that tencent are working hard to catch up to the west, innovating in many areas. These lunchtime power naps are commonplace in china and probably necessary to enable them to keep working late into the evening. And they will certainly need a lot of energy, because tencent is trying to break out of china that it has bought a stake in snapchat and also in dazzler, which is itself working heavily on Image Processing to help its fleet of semiautonomous cars understand the world around it. Tesla. And i am notjust talking about semiautonomous cars, no, tesla now has a new truck. Here is dave lee in los angeles. You really have to hand it to elon musk. When people say he cannot do something, he is doing too much, he goes and launches an enormous electrical truck. And here it is. The tesla semidays, it will go 500 miles in a single charge, carrying the heaviest loads on the roads, doing 0 60 Miles Per Hourin on the roads, doing 0 60 Miles Per Hour in 20 seconds. On the left, the thing that looks like it is not moving, that is a diesel truck. As you might expect, it comes filled with a host of tesla technology, including autonomy. This thing will change on its own. Now, a diesel truck is tw
