Revolution is changing that. You have warned me not to get too close. It does look a little bit hazardous. This robot dog hasnt been programmed to walk. Its learning by itself. Its called reinforcement learning. What weve done here is, weve given it this task to try to kind of stand up and move forward. When it does well, one of the Computer Scientists gives it the digital equivalent of a pat on the head. I can see its doing better and better. Its strong. I try and put that in its way, and its stronger than i am. Yeah. Have you trained it to make a beeline for me . Uhhuh. I feel like im battling the ai here, and the als winning. In just a few hours, its moving around by itself, even coping with the unexpected. Im really feeling an instinct to help it, but that is, of course, not good. You know, its learning, and maybe it looks a bit mean sometimes when we push it around, but, really, werejust trying to see what it can handle and help it learn new behaviours. This robot dog is the brain
About them were being made, and criticised uberfor using automated decision making without enough human input. this is a cautionary tale of what can happen when too much responsibility is given to al to make hugely significant decisions about people. so, this was a robo firing case, where basically the ai decided that some drivers had spent too long waiting for products that they were going to deliver, and that there was some fraud implicated in that, that they were ripping off the company. uber said it understands deactivating a driver s account is a very serious decision, and that specially trained teams are involved in the process to ensure its approach is transparent and fair. injune, the government announced an ai task force with £100 million in funding. it says it will bring together
Not to get too close. it does look a little bit hazardous. this robot dog hasn t been programmed to walk. it s learning by itself. it s called reinforcement learning. what we ve done here is, we ve given it this task to try to kind of stand up and move forward. when it does well, one of the computer scientists gives it the digital equivalent of a pat on the head. i can see it s doing better and better. it s strong. i try and put that in its way, and it s stronger than i am. yeah. have you trained it to make a beeline for me? uh-huh. i feel like i m battling the ai here, and the al s winning. in just a few hours, it s moving around by itself, even coping with the unexpected. i m really feeling an instinct to help it, but that is, of course, not good. you know, it s learning, and maybe it looks a bit mean
Goes toward using this to actually understand the brain better. right? that s our scientific goal in the end. we want to know, how does the brain work? how do our brains process language? how do we understand ideas? how do we think? sounds great. but what happens if it ends up in the wrong hands? some people are scared, or think that the thought police is coming. ithink. you know, i think it s a fair reaction to this to say, like, this is scary. i don t want this to happen. that was kind of our reaction, too. like, the first thing that we thought when we got this working was like, this is fantastic. it s working! and then, like, oh, my god. this is working. are the thought police coming? uh, not yet. none of the current technologies that we have would be effective at actually, like, policing people s thoughts. the mind reading al was trained using early versions of openai s technology but openai is not as open as it was before microsoft invested. independent researchers n
Facial muscle actions that you exercise, where you re looking. so, your gaze direction. and the tone of your voice, as well, so, what you re saying. and from those sort of basic ingredients of your behaviour, we then determine, for example, different medical conditions that you might have or what emotion you might be displaying. this tech is currently being trialled with nhs trusts in nottinghamshire to help assess the mental health of pregnant women. humans are very bad at picking up gradual changes in their lives. this technology is objective and repeatable, and it will show you a graph, and it should improve as you start doing the treatment. do you think people are ready for al to assess their mental health? well, many people already are, yes, i m sure. i don t think everybody will want to use it. but that s ok. artificial intelligence is now finding its way into almost every aspect of our lives.
