Lets catch up on some of the other main News Stories from today. The government has unveiled sweeping reforms of the Asylum System that would make arriving in the uk without Permission A criminal offence. The government hopes the new rules will deter people from making dangerous channel crossings to try get into the uk. But labour said the proposals would potentially break international law. The Information Watchdog has launched an official investigation into the use of private email And other correspondence at the department of health. It follows reports that the former Health Secretary Matt hancock And current health minister, Lord Bethell, routinely used private email to discuss government business. And its been announced that Lord Bethell is formally under investigation by the lords Andards-watchdog'>StAndards Watchdog over a complaint that he sponsored a parliamentary pass for gina coladangelo, who was matt hancocks aide. Both she AndMr Hancock resigned from their positions last month after they were filmed kissing, in breach of covid rules. Now on Bbc News click. This week, its a mobiles And music special. Were sending a robot in to explore a show floor, write a winning song, play the violin And make a pop video. And is that Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran . Hey, welcome to click i hope youre well. For months now, weve been fantasising about places that we cant go to at The Moment, stories that we Cant Cover in person, And the Big Tech Expos that arent happening in the real World Theyve moved online. But not this week lara, would you care to accompany me to barcelona . Absolutely ive been looking forward to this now, mobile World Congress was one of the first events to be cancelled last year. And this year, despite a few delays, it is actually happening, but were not heading off to sunny spain. Well, not really. But we are gonna be there in spirit, 0k . You ready . Absolutely lets do it all right, lets go. And. We� ve arrived this is thira, barcelona, And this is mwc. And were not only here in spirit, but we are here in body too a Robot Body with my face on it And the good thing is that this robot is connected to the same Zoom Call as me And you, so you can ride along pillion. 0h, crikey, youre in control. Am i in safe hAnds . Absolutely not so i can look up And down, like that, And i can Go LeftAnd right, And forward And backwards with the arrow keys. Here we go look, its working. 0h, left theyre saying left, Go Left. Its like when someone tries to help you park. So if ever the robots do try And take over, were just going to be a pushover because were gonna be filming it on our phones, rather than running the other way. So true. And the good thing is do you see that down the bottom of the screen you get a birds Eye View. Ooh, yes nice right, thats the birds Eye View of the bottom of the robot, so hopefully we wontjust run over someone� s feet. It does feel great to be back at a Tech Show even if it is inside a tablet thats stuck to the top of a segway And i guess this is what were now calling a hybrid show, with some exhibitors And attendees in barcelona And some online. And well bring you a couple of the stories from mwc in a few minutes� time. It looks nice, doesnt it . It looks. Mwc looks nice. It does look nice look at those actual people there actually there oh, dear, weve stalled. The connection to mwc is frozen but youre moving normally. Yeah actually, if you remember the times that weve been to And-weve'>Mwc And Weve struggled to get a mobile phone signal, as you say, And look at what were trying to do now. All right, these people these people had better out the way. Im sure ive got right of way. They seem oblivious to us. Ive gone up to the bar. Can i have an orange juice, please . There we go look lara laughs shes pouring me an orangejuice right amazing now you got a problem where do you stick it . Youve got to try to drink it its Gonna Go all over the screen. 0k, there were some other robots i wanted to visit, some really little ones. Theyre here somewhere. 0k, shall we go look for them . Lets try. All right. And we are off. Hello so these are pretty cute robots And some Playing Cards on the table as well whats going on here, please . So this one, we can use our robot to teach coding, stem And artificial Intelligence Education from age four to 16. This one is compatible with lego And can speak up to ten different language. So students can play our robot. At the same time, they can learn. Launched in may 2020, the bot� s optic sensors And algorithms help to get Kids Coding across subjects from maths to music. Robot plays a note when it lAnds on a card apparently, they even play football better than me. So actually, we have four steps. The first one is the on Flow Activity by cards. The second, application. The third one is Micro BeadAnd scratch. And the last one is piper. There arent many kids there at mwc this year, so i wonder what the best reactions from the adults have been. One thing, i make them surprised, even if we dont any manual, they can learn how to use a robot. My robot also didnT Need a manual, although maybe i shouldve taken a Driving Test first meanwhile, while i leave spencer to play the part of a Robot Or is it a robot playing the part of spencer . Other machines are also trying to take some work away from us, like creating music. Chris fox has been finding out more. 8bit version of Eurovision Theme plays circus coming to town. Oh oh tearing my heart apart. Oh oh the a Song Contest is back for a second year And unlike last years show, which was Eurovision Themed, this year, anything goes. I feel the wires, i feel the wires. Wires. My blood flows And my heart breathes. Like eurovision, the goal is to create a song that will impress the public And a jury of experts. Like a Bird Flying in the sky. But each of the 38 entries had to use some Artificial Intelligence in the process, whether that was to create lyrics or the melody or even virtual instruments. Cant you tell. If i could fly. Id take you high. That song there was by a group Called SmorgasborgAnd if you recognise the pixelated face, thats because its click� s very own lj rich, who has entered the contest. So, lj, how do you even get started with creating a song using ai . When i work alone, the music always comes first, the melody, the chords all of that come first. But when im working with other people, i normally feel inspired by their lyrics And so with this, it felt very natural to get the al to generate some lyrics for me, which is what we did. We used gpt 3. Its incredibly good at generating text. You can do anything from writing a question And it giving you an answer to writing a few sentences And it just completing them. And i wanted to write a dance track. I dont know why, ijust got into my head that eurovision requires a dance track. And so, i put in the following prompt And i thought it was gonna come up with a kind of, like, you know, proper dance type thing. And it returned Walking Like A Zombie In The Dark as a completion And i thought hmm thats really strange And unearthly And odd once you had your lyrics, how did you turn that into a song . How did you decide whether it was gonna be a ballad or a banger . It felt naturally that it was falling into a ballad. A few years ago, i was commissioned to analyse the eurovision Song Contest, so i had a lot of data about whats successful in eurovision. If youve got a song thats too happy in a major key, its not gonna do that well at eurovision. You want something in a Minor Key. Plays tune in Minor Key thats going to do a lot better than. Plays happy tune in major key And so, i decided, actually, lets do this at 80 beats a minute in d minor, which is an incredibly popular key, And give it the sort of feel of a wide reaching, slightly unearthly love song. And when it came to writing your melody, i believe you had a little bit of a And'>Helping HAnd from the Chart Topper Adele . I mean, kind of she was the dataset that i trained an Al On to work out where the melody should go next. Jukebox ai is a programme that you can run which you can train on particular bAnds or artists. So adele, i think, is an incredible songwriter. Why not train an Al On adele And then enter the lyrics in And see if the music that The Machine creates can give me some inspiration as to where to go with the melody . The machine generates a few seconds of audio And gives you three or four different choices as to where you want it to go next. So it might play. Plays tune or it might go. Plays slightly different Tune Ending in an Offkey Note now, one of those is definitely wrong, right . But the other two are probably ok. So every three seconds, which would take 12 minutes or so of processing time, i would then say yes, i want option one, And then set it running again. And then brrrrr, ok, im gonna choose option two for this. And i would slowly build this melody with The Machine that felt like a better fit. Ill be the one to watch you shine. Well, good luck, lj, And everyone in the competition. Public voting has already closed but you can listen to all of the songs at aisongcontest. Com And the winner will be revealed onjuly 6th. Hello And welcome to the week in tech. It was the Week Elon Musk announced that his Satellite Internet Service starlink can reach 500,000 customers over the coming year.

Boston dynamics� Robot Dog Spot challenged korean And'>Boy BAnd bts to a dance off. Athletic performances like Dance Help to improve the programming of the robot by stressing the mechanical design And testing the algorithms And the software. No rusty screws here violinists actually only play one string at a time. I kind of thought they were doing chords with the the bow . The stick . Oh, i should have asked. Bow. Laughs i� m getting a Crash Course in how to play the violin here at Pompeo Fabra University in barcelona. Researchers have created an artificial Intelligence System that helps. It� s called telme, which stAnds for Technology Enhanced Learning Of Musical Instrument performance. The tiny finger is there to. Using trackers on the violin And the bow, as well as an xbox kinect, they can monitor how fast i� m playing And if i� m tilting the bow And the quality of contact with the strings. But first, a quick lesson. Hey plays offkey hey ok so i� ve had my Crash Course in how to play the violin or hold the violin And the Computer Software over there is showing me whether my bow is perpendicular to the string. Plays slightly screechy note that� s helping me keep the bow perfectly perpendicular And stay on that one string. So let� s try another string. Plays slightly screechy note laughs ok. Beautiful music this is not, And i apologise. Now, once you� ve mastered the movements, the system can also tell you whether you� re playing nicely using Artificial Intelligence, so it� s been trained what nice, smooth movements sound like And it� s also been trained what bad playing sounds like. So if i play a note here. Plays two notes at once ok so i was sitting two strings at the same time there. It came up yellow to say that was a bad note. Let me just try it again. Plays note. I got a green circle because i was playing like a pro. So we took four professors of the royal conservatory And they recorded a series of exercises from very easy to very complicated, And then we ran algorithms in the computer to understAnd what makes good playing And then trying to then compare these to beginners. Presumably, you� ve also taught it what bad players sounds like is that why you have invited me here today . Chuckles. It was not the purpose but actually, we recorded you And we will use you chuckles. Using the system, i was able to get an idea of how well i was playing. It helped me self adjust And play the note a little bit more in tune. I can� t say how easy it would be to learn an instrument completely from scratch using software like this, but i think i am improving And i can get real time feedback on whether i am getting it right or wrong. I had a Very Good from raphaeljust a minute ago so, you know, nailed it. Of course, raphael turned on the style And showed me up, but that� s ok the point of the system is that it can help players of all skill levels. We were targeting really professional players, very high level players, but the solutions or the technology we have developed ahs also impacted the ability of beginners, so the whole spectrum of players. We always say, this is not to replace a teacher, but this is to complement the teachers. I can see how a setup like this would help someone learn how to play an instrument, but is going to take a few more lessons before Violin Maestro is a string on my bow. Vanessa may, watch out. Spencer amazing, that was chris fox. But here at mwc, the tech isn� t just teaching us music, it� s using music to learn about you. Time to trundle over to musimaps, where Thomas Lidy is about to do a deep dive into my music tastes. Hey spencer one thing that we do is analyse moods And emotions in the music, but then we can do more than that, we can also analyse the people� s Personality Profile based on the music they are listening to. So what does his system make of that song by And-the-diamonds'>Marina And The Diamonds . I� m nota robot. Musimaps produces an array of graphs, picking up style, tempo, genre And emotional cues as well. Here we see the song is friendly, it has good vibrations, it� s warm hearted, passionate, sensible, happy And also a little bit melodramatic. Just like me, then. Let� s go for something much more sombre paranoid Android, please. We have got some happiness, it says it� s a friendly song, but it also says innocent, warm hearted, cool, uh, sentimental. There is some happiness in paranoid Android, that� s what your system is saying . Yeah we don� t do Lyrics Analysis at this point. So this is more like, really looking to the audio signal. I� d still call that an optimistic reading. Ok, ifeel The Moment has come, we� ve given you my Spotify Playlists for you to tell me about my personality. And here are my results. Plenty of character analysis, or assassinations, complete with myers Briggs Style Personality types. I am not sure i am that agreeable, though. You are also a challenger, And ifeel that. It� s And-number'>Myjob And Number three type is the performer. Can� t see that at all. Laughs. I can see that now i thought that streaming services like spotify already provided many Mood Music playlists, so haven� t they done this already . For the Mood Based Playlists today, it is still a lot of manual curators involved, but more than that we are building right now an emotional Base Recommender System so that the ai would sense you already, sensewhat you would like to play And what you would like to hear, we would find the music that fits a certain environment or a certain advertising, And even moreso, by knowing what music you are interested to, we could also recommend you other products that you are interested in. So, moody music prediction, great although when it comes to serving up my emotions to advertisers . Maybe i am a paranoid Android after all. Of course, ever since the invention of the Music Video, music icons haven� tjust had to think about how their music sounds, but also how it looks. Lara they� ve sold over 100 Million records, are in their fifth decade of performing, And have shared a stage with many a great act. But Duran Duran have been trying a new type of collaboration the bAnd� s letting artificial Intelligence Loose on creating the video for their new song, invisible. How is a Machine Brain going to make a video . How is it going to construct it . How is it going to conceive ideas . How can we feed in enough information to get something valid back . And. Then i was introduced to huxley. Huxley is the a that was trained to get creative. This is where it all starts. The process of making an a video involves teaching the ai how a human would think. So first of all, you� ve got to really take a close look at what is going on inside a human� s brain, And that can happen right here. It� s meg scanner, or a magnetoencephalography scanner, And what it does is it uses really strong magnets to measure very sensitive signals firing in the top part of the brain, known as the cortex, And that is where we think a lot of the information for creativity And things like, other tasks like this are encoded. So if you want to imbue them into ai, we need to first measure them in humans And understAnd what is going on And then translate that over to the code. This sort of data was used to Teach Huxley to interpret what it sees in the same way a Human Brain would. Then images of the bAnd, lyrics AndVideo Footage were all put into the system, leaving the al to generate its version of that creating a collaborative process between the bAndAnd the computer. This is what it came outwith, eventually. You don� t hear a word i say. So what did Nick Make of it . Thrilled, astonished, amazed, stunned And bewildered how was it to work with an ai . I quite like collaborating with an ai, it doesn� T Answer back as much for sure, And it doesn� t ask very difficult questions. But it does come up with surprising results. I just love the way that some of the thought processes were working. You didn� t understAnd what on earth it was coming up with sometimes it became obsessed with the dogs for several days, but when it was fed in some information, some keyboards, some imagery of keyboards, nick plays keyboards, it came back with a zebra. Now, that� s my kind of surrealist game. Black And white. Yeah, of course, stripes, it makes perfect sense. I think for a Bass Guitar it came back with a fish, but actually if you think about it, i suppose, it had been through its dictionary, sea bass. And then there were the bAnd� s faces, created by broken down data on their images being totally rebuilt by huxley. It made the images of us, we did it with our iphones, just literally Lip Syncing so that it could see And learn the dimensions of our faces And what all the measurements were as ourjaws moved. And it took that in, And made its versions of us. But a Music Video also needs to tell the story with feeling. It is notjust here is a sentence, generate me an image. Say you generated an image that was dark or really happy, we would classify it as such, so we were also able to encode emotion into this thing. We went to the bAndAnd we generated each frame from the lyrics itself, so the lyrics were the input for each frame, but the first output was a bit rAndom, And not too cool. So, we spoke to simon, he wrote the song, And he wrote down the emotions that were going through his mind next to each sentence. And we added that in there as well And we really started getting something that was really interesting. It certainly captured the emotion of the song, but don� t you miss being in the actual Music Video yourself . I quite like Robotic Me, i could send Robotic Me to do a lot of things, i can tell you. Both laugh. We� ll make videos with us in them again, of course. It was just thoroughly appealing to do something different. Moving forward, is It Something you would want to use again . How do you perceive the future of Music Videos And ai, for you . Obviously it� s a joy to be first with something, because it� s nice to. Jump off a bridge And realise you can lAnd somewhere with something magical. We all become invisible. Spencer so sounds like they loved being the first ones to do this, but they won� t be doing another one. Sounded that way, although nick was very into a in general, And robots, although he didn� T Need to try And make this episode of click. Which has been challenging, to say the least trust me, world, we are not the stage yet where driving a bot wirelessly around a crowded Trade Show is easy or reliable, but we made it, just.

And the reason it� s been so wet, really, for so long is because of the position of the jet stream, that� s the upper level winds. And as it� S Diving to the south of the uk, with that sort of pattern, you end up with low pressure sitting close to the uk. And it� s around that low pressure that we see these areas of cloud rotating, keeping some wet weather going into the night And into wednesday, as well. If we look at the story over the next few days, we find some sunshine, yes, but there� s still the threat of some showers which may be heavy, as well. And certainly on tuesday, there was lots of rain at wimbledon. It looks a lot drier though for wednesday can� t rule out 1 2 showers, mind you, And temperatures will be 20 21 celsius. We start the day pretty cloudy, actually, there may well be some further rain around. As It Brightens Up, we get some sunshine which triggers more showers, particularly across englAndAnd wales, And some of those could be heavy And thundery. May see a few showers breaking out across parts of scotlAndAnd northern irelAnd. A warmer day, though, than it was on tuesday for eastern scotlAndAnd the northeast of englAnd. And for many parts of the country, temperatures are a little bit higher on wednesday. A few showers in the london area, those will tend to fade away during the evening, And it� ll probably be dry for playing football. As we move into thursday, many places starting dry, some sunshine breaking through. Again, we� ll see some showers developing too. These will be a little more hit And miss, but It Brightens Up in eastern scotlAnd, we could get some heavy showers here. The rest of scotlAndAnd northern irelAnd looks more cloudy And not as warm, perhaps, but with the sunshine in englAndAnd wales, it should feel a bit warmer with Light Winds on thursday. We� ve got slightly higher pressure to end the week the fly in the ointment is this little Weather Front here that keeps more cloud across northern irelAnd, eventually increasing the cloud across wales And the southwest, bringing some rain later on in the day. Ahead of it, some sunshine coming through, still the chance of some showers. Ahead of it, some sunshine coming through, still the chance of some showers. These are most likely in eastern scotlAndAnd across the eastern side of englAnd. But many places on friday will have a dry day. And those temperatures sitting at 22 23 celsius. Now i don� t think those numbers will change a great deal into the weekend. There will still be some sunshine around, but we still have this threat of some showers And the greater risk of showers is likely to be on sunday.
