platform the central land is set to launch at the beginning of twenty nineteen. users can already buy land development and sell it again earning real money. the central is a virtual world that's owned by its users so owners of aware can purchase them from each other and decide to do whatever they want with it just like in the real world they can build on it and hope other people will visit their. settings or they could go to games. and users can just walk around the world and see all the cool creations that other people have bought on top of their. marketplace users can buy and sell land using the token munna which can be exchanged into real money online. the users bank details are registered on the currency exchange so the converted value of the crypto currency can be transferred to their accounts.
according to news agencies one landowner on decentralisation has already earned around one hundred seventy five thousand euros users particularly like the fact that the central land has no central operating company when you have one company dictating the rules and encouraging people to use it in one particular way you have the benefit of consistency. around one topic for here now you get to unlock the creative energy of all the possible on earth. which should lead to more interesting diverse experiences and more collaboration across the platforms. every day office life shopping trips to the theater according to experts large parts of our lives could soon take place in virtual worlds where digital real estate could play a key role virtual property trading isn't actually knew. it existed in two thousand and three in the game second life. gamers back then to turn their virtual land into real cash by selling it to large brands such as coca-cola but when players interest
in second life began these firms withdrew from the game. i think the hype of second life is faded because the platform itself didn't offer any other game mechanism. in a system like this the value of the land is initially determined by the height by the demand. or and. active in the long term you have to find ways to retain players and if. the central and tries to get users talked with the freedom to do what they want with the land the trading takes place independently of the operating company information about money and ownership is stored on the. additional register which is administered de centrally on a server network. chains are deemed to be resistant to fraud. that means that a central company's supervising. the virtual trading is redundant each virtual
property gets a unique identification number. theory you can multiply virtual goods as many times as you like. at the but once you store virtual goods on the block chain they can no longer be duplicated they become unique and i think it's this uniqueness which lets you generate value from them and in the long term the biggest challenge on this platform will be to set up some kind of secondary gaming mechanism to keep users on the platform and boost demand for its virtual goods. spite of the run on land the virtual world of the central and doesn't go online until next year gamers are already discussing further business models such as virtual mortgages at mission fees and funding from advertising. chips in concord new worlds. and now. digital makers and shakers today with a guy expert wojciech sonic. algorithms are getting smarter and smarter they can
recognize faces and assign characteristics but how do machines learn and when do they make mistakes. researching these very questions. as this heat map clearly shows that the horse in the picture has not been recognized for the models entire attention is focused on this text on this copyright tag that really surprised us. we looked at the data set again and saw that many of these horse pictures had a copyright tag on them and that the system doesn't recognize the horses at all which is precisely what you want to avoid or this. is so my kids the group machine learning at the berlin for its institute neural networks are fed with huge quantities of data however it's not always clear which parts of the data they use to make their decisions. this is what the researcher wants to find out artificial intelligence isn't as advanced as people think. this crisis over the yeah i systems
only learned what's in the data so if the data is falsified it can mislead the system. we had an example where a sticker was put over a stop sign and the sign was no longer recognized as a stop sign for the. it will take a few years until artificial intelligence works perfectly what checks i make is doing his bit to make it happen. and now digital advice on everything to do with birth and babies the number of midwives is on the decline in germany it's not easy to find expert advice before and after the birth of a child now online midwives are poised to help via skype and chat. young mothers often have lots of questions previously unknown symptoms can arise during pregnancy looking for general answers on the internet is not always the best idea. it's not reassuring and just makes you even more uncertain this one time i googled something whether i was supposed to eat

none at all. missing just one of us for that we have to do what makes sense for people and it makes sense to be able to reach someone and talk to them via modern means of communication. in two thousand and sixteen the international portal call the midwife went on line. twenty five midwives provide advice in twelve languages the idea of the platform is to export the german midwife system abroad with advice in the local language. this service is paid for by a flat rate per week or per month. the midwives on the platform are all freelancers and can work from home. midwife is from portugal and speaks five languages she often advises young mothers about breastfeeding like this portuguese woman whose baby is just two weeks old for many women it's a huge benefit to receive advice in their mother tongue. is covered as is physically i think it's very important for them some things especially if there is
emotional stress and a very emotional period as well it can only be expressed in your own language. of course the online midwives know their limits if a patient is in pain or the symptoms are unclear they recommend seeing a doctor but call a midwife founders of necro is still convinced persist in this what are the women's needs digitalisation they want to be supported to be midwives have to be there to support them we shouldn't miss this opportunity. only well informed parents feel secure and then their babies can relax to. shift says well advised digitally. and now for short download to the shift shot. why do we see so few women on banknotes so far only important men have been featured on us banknotes that can now change thanks to an augmented reality and.
