my top tonight is about something that is smarter than you are artificial intelligence in fact a lot of people to work in artificial intelligence believe that artificial intelligence thousand times smarter than we are it will be moving at speeds that are a hundred thousand times as fast as we think it will be digesting information and data a million times more than we can what is artificial
intelligence there a lot of confused ideas about outside in the world but the answer is very simple it's one sentence artificial intelligence is software that writes itself it might have some updates it renews itself we normally tend to think of software is stuff that we created in that we wrote and teens do what we tell them to do and we own it this is not any
longer true it writes itself at speeds we can hardly comprehend that people who write it no that you can take it apart again the figure out when it's time if rights independently autonomously develops its own way of thinking and there are dangers associated with that so let people ask when is it going to happen when is artificial intelligence going to minor the nice people some people
say fifty years thirty years a five years I say it already has surpassed us in many areas of our society this take for example to make us some examples from right here and now and %HESITATION I see printed to put the scopes okay the examples are gonna talk about are not science fiction they're not reasons there are things that are going to happen at some point
they're things that exist today for example and the stock markets whether Frankfurter Tokyo or New York or London the people you see down there working on your TV show when you're watching they're more less extras in the movie they aren't doing the big moving the big moving is three being done by high frequency computers they move so fast they make in milliseconds billion dollar business Peters
have far succeeded what we can do effect I did a film once about the company it moved five blocks closer to the Frankfurt stock market because speed of light on glass cable received so much time getting closer to the computers at the at the Frankfurter stock exchange that will give you an idea of how fast they they think and how helpless we as human beings are
you may remember the old pictures of the stock brokers with five telephones in each hand running back and forth writing things and pick that was we before yesterday in Peters of taking over this very very important part of our society heart of our financial community and no one understands exactly how these algorithms function they use to understand them but they've been improved AI artificial intelligence I
don't know many people flew in today but if you were sitting on an airplane you probably have thirty different characterises prices in your cabin because the pricing is all done same is true of hotels by machines that are collecting global information making decisions within split seconds but the price of that airplane seat or that hotel room is going to be and what's most critical of our
we're we're talking a life and death is in medicine Jim Peters are better than we are as human beings in several areas already today we're talking about here now is not science fiction I'm speaking next week at the university's clinical in Essen and there radiologists were supposed to be some of the best radiologists in Germany they say that a computer can recognize a tumor on an
empty or in the city MIT CCT faster and better and more precisely that a human being can it's picture analysis and it's done very well by computers especially medicine where it saves lives now under the robots are getting better and better they're looking cute they had this big baby ice sweet way of looking at you they can examine your facial expression and just there's but don't
be fooled by robots even when they get warm skin and even when they get perfume to start smelling like us and getting really interesting they are still machines they have no warm light and then there's no sex in them they have no mortality there cold cold lines and they shouldn't be misunderstood now I want you to understand what the power of artificial intelligence is and I
have two examples one is surveillance cameras everybody knows nine they were being watched by cameras everywhere and most people think surveillance is a camera there and it's me down here it's watching me one person one camera well that's because we're stupid that's the way we comprehend the surveillance one camera one person we can't comprehend what was beyond that this image was taken seventeen thousand five hundred
feet above Quantico Virginia and covers fifteen square miles this whole image is at a very very fine resolution soul if we wanted to know what is going on in any spot along the same I'd say near this building at this intersection everything that him open object is being caught the my track with Dave color boxes represents a Peter has recognized the moving objects it can see
individuals crossing the state previously individuals walking and parking lots there's actually enough resolution to be able to see the people waving their arms are walking around what kind of clothes they wear WNED like the predator camera that limits field of view Argus melts together video from each of its three hundred sixty eight ships create a one point eight billion pixel videos this makes it possible to
soon in and still see then just in a million produces a million terabytes every day that's a lot of data and I'm telling you this because not that the sensors are modern and not the Tom Griffey is modern behind that is a brain or a cognitive intelligence and that brain is in a position to analyze everybody down here at the same time in real time we
see where everyone is going we can understand that when we reduce it to a single person but we cannot understand when you're talking about a hundred thousand people in the city plus the vehicles would you all recognize did you say systems they have also redone facial recognition you probably think facial recognition is this from the front by dead they've redone to do it from the top
because that's where the drones are and they look at your ears looked we walk and look at your head that's modern facial recognition so that's one idea as a human being we think of a one camera and one person is is a is a little of their things it's the think of all the details all amusing after and they recorded so they can tell what that
person was two weeks ago two months ago which stores he visited with his whole behavioral patterns are it's all part of the analysis Argo are these are called a tennis balls in military and intelligence circles it's a new secretive since argument thing it out a cruise missile will fly into a valley in Afghanistan and this is especially important because the troops have left many of these
areas and it will drop literally thousands of the sensor packages tennis balls they're all packed in foam rubber the record the cameras they record microphones they record with seismic measurements a record with Geiger counters the record with chemical sensors that can look for a chemical things that's not the amazing part of it and it's not the amazing part today a little signal goes over here the
transmitter transmitting those of the satellite all technology nothing special but the special part of it is behind that system there's a fusion software that can combine the audio individual and seismic and the chemical all of the signals and make sense of them and analyze on the ground what kind of troop movements they are one of the kinds of vehicles are using one of the transporting is
a review activities in that it takes all these different pieces of information and turns it through fusion software into an understandable picture it goes way beyond way beyond our our vision artificial intelligence only works if you have huge data masses artificial intelligence only works if you have big data but big data only works if you have artificial intelligence to make sense of it because human beings
can no longer sort of shift in order a huge volumes of data that we have collected surprising that the company that has the most information in the world probably the most powerful Google is very interested in artificial intelligence has been traveling around the world as a shop buying all the companies they're dealing with robotics is rather robust and they're buying artificial intelligence all the artificial intelligence
from around the world now this is if you ask Google a peaceful robot right because I'm a gun it doesn't throw atomic bombs you know we just walks around stands there but you may have seen the superimposed DARPA defense advanced research projects agency that is the %HESITATION research I'm and then you see videos made by Lockheed Martin just one of the most powerful and influential and
richest weapons companies in the world so why is the Pentagon investing his money why has Lockheed Martin F. taking over large aspects of the company this guy's called big dog he's also belongs to who will also DARPA finance peaceful dock right and that he gets caught on a maneuver in the United States marines as part of a military unit so these are not flower children these
are robots that have a function and robots that have a function and then intelligence and perhaps an intelligent goes beyond are dangerous things that's a a predator drone was taken of the secret of United States airforce base in New Mexico predator drones you've seen right into my TV you've seen them in the newspapers they're all out there twenty years old technology this is I mean it
looks very scary when there Spiegel and to hear ID right modern technology and the guys the joystick and killing people and tell them and Taliban in Afghanistan far away but that's what I do modern Joe looks like this not prejudice a pig assistance and X. forty seven B. it owned by the navy it's a jet powered machine not like a propeller driven predator goes to thousand
miles into an enemy territory he carries two thousand kilos with explosives and is run by artificial intelligence it starts alone flies its mission alone comes back alone and here's a clue it lands all by itself on an aircraft carrier talk to any pilot you've ever met what's the most difficult lending area you can possibly imagine this is inadequate carry short runway things moving very hard thinking
drawn can do it but here are the two keys to Pegasus Pegasus is invisible no I'm not talking about stealth and being in invisible to radar I'm talking about invisible to the human eye and you will find this in any newspaper anyway it's invisible to the human eye because the bottom has an LED a later on in the top has cameras who would you been removed
here if you're which from the sky and the project in the bottom a live picture of clouds above the aircraft you can hardly see it and they're responsible for a lot of these a UFO sightings in in the violin near the testing area jet engine propulsion I reach you folks this is a German two thousand miles start naming all by itself still this optical stuff you
can't see it and the kill decision which is required by United States law ought to be made by human beings human beings must be in the in the loop before someone is killed bedroom but it's in the machine and it doesn't need people it can decide by itself whether or not you kill somebody and the experts say it's gonna make less mistakes and less grill collateral
damage then the human decision kill decision in robots in the air and robots on the ground in robots in the water or under water where there are also drones is made by can be made by machines in my book I quote many official United States government documents which say our goal is to have the kill decision made by them the problem is artificial intelligence sometimes they
make mistakes this is talent isn't automatic cannon criticism in the can a lot of ammunition in that thing can also put brackets on it's here in Iraq since two thousand seven at a demonstration with US generals experts the damn thing got out of control and started pointing the audience and there was a marine there goodness running across the field who tackled it like a football player
and threw it on its side and probably prevented a couple hundred people from being killed now this washing reason enough to take a lucrative contract away from the company that built it and it was enough to take the town out of Iraq it's it's sort of off duty there were some early stages of development you know that problem but don't underestimate artificial intelligence because it's getting
better every day and it's going to scare us you know I'm right at the right time I see stop because I want to take a look now this is all been here not technology it's got in the future not far just a little bit to the internet of things to artificial intelligence as being spread out it's not a central machine in a box with puma plug
artificial intelligence is network like the internet of things and part of me being a smart watch jury refrigerator or the supercomputer and the intelligence exists only by networking it together if the super computer needs more computer power it goes there and gets into the internet if the computer needs better programs that goes there and gets those programs and if it needs more information more data it
goes there and it's more data it sets up a spontaneous network for its needs it collapses when it no longer needs it it does this it does this without us and if imagine like Weezer there these intelligence notes all over the place in a like drops of mercury on the glass table they will find their way to each other they will find their way together now
we have to be and get very careful because survival is an issue for artificial intelligence it needs to exist to be able to do the things it wants to do according to its program so it lays like instant sect eggs backups and computer programs all over the world thousands and thousands of them so that if we do destroyed part of it it's still a life my
